We inspect 1% of the containers coming into Canada and it sounds like the plan is to inspect the other 99% now? The average cost to inspect one container is $3500. Over 7 million containers come into Canada annually. That'll cost $24.5 billion. Tariffs are starting to look better all the time.

I guess Trump must figure on just tariffying Jordan and Egypt into submitting to his will. How apropos.

Trudeau of course, especially when its obvious everything is still screwed up and broken 3/4 thru Mr Apples first and probably only majority term.

So now the Orange One will be taking over Gaza and turning it into the Florida of the Mediterranean. I doubt the Jewish settlers who had their sights on the place will be very happy about being dispossessed like this.

He says the same thing about all his attributes. I'd put more stock in what Stormy Daniels thinks. He will, don't worry

You certainly may be now but you change your mind the way Trump changes his diaper. What direction or position you'll be triggered to take next is anyone's guess. Like with COVID, you're a vaxtard one day and an anti-vaxtard the next. A tard in any case. Everybody wants that but Trump wants far more. He wants American economic hegemony and world domination of global markets and he uses fentanyl the way Dubya used WMDs and tariffs like they were WMDs.

Naw...that all went away with my prostate. But I can sure pee like a champ again! Up and over the rail and practically out to the stabilizers!

There's a lot of this going on alright and he's tapped into the destructiveness that's been running through America's right-wing base since it was captured by the wave of populism that swept up the likes of the Tea Partiers and finally swamped the Republicans with MAGA. He's the Vandal and Troll in Chief. In the meantime the opportunistic sharks following Trump's ship around is who we probably need to keep an eye on.

I think we're getting what you put up with.

You should consider your own act in context of the term lickspittle. In the meantime consider what Trump's top economic advisors are telling him. https://financialpost.com/news/stephen-miran-economist-trump-economic-advisory-team It also isn’t clear what Mr. Trump really wants his tariffs to achieve. Are they about reducing the flow of fentanyl, or is his real goal to rewrite the North American trade deal he signed in his first term? If it’s the latter, there’s more political volatility ahead. Mr. Trump’s weekend tariff broadside against a pair of neighbors has opened a new era of economic policy uncertainty that won’t calm down until the President does. As we warned many times before Election Day, this is the biggest economic risk of Donald Trump’s second term. https://archive.ph/iAyrN#selection-6029.246-6033.273 It seems clear enough to me. Trump wants America to dominate the world and subordinate every other market and economy on the planet to theirs. So Trump's first salvo of tariffs blew back in their face a little more harshly than they anticipated, like the proverbial Dane they'll be back. Tariffs are all Trump really has at his disposal, notwithstanding for the moment the US military.

I always cared and even embrace the horror that people view corruption as the grease that keeps the ship of state running smoothly. Of course on a real boat corruption is synonymous with corrosion and so the whole notion will always seems particularly nuts to me. It is what it is. I trust what I can see. That's why you have inspection hatches and things on a boat so you can see the corrosion and treat it. We even use lists with boxes we check with an x to keep track of inspections. Every day though, not every 4-5 years or if the mood strikes us. Anyways you just keep pretending I don't care - it's the grease that keeps you grinding away. You are what you are.

I view the things you mentioned as symptoms of a brand of economics the right wing has been championing for decades - the unmitigated concentration of wealth, and of course the power that goes with it, into as few hands as possible. Right wing grievances are nice nuts compared to that.

So your on his side again for the third time or is this the fourth time now?

Go watch Hannity or Ingram or something, they'll have you straightened out in no time.

No, he really doesn't benefit much from his supporters speaking their dumbass minds either. It must suck to have such shit to work with - all he can do it seems is keep pandering to it and hope he can keep riding Trudeau to victory. I'm reminded of Nationalists sig about loneliness, saddles and a dead horse.

The whole right wing brand has taken a big hit. Trump is like a big fat Randy White except he's...Orange.

Sure. I was saying months ago a Trump victory preceding a Canadian election would provide all the pause Canadians would need to recall why they're wary of right wing politicians and their warped vision for the world. I'm not saying Poilievre won't win but it'll be with nowhere near the majority he might have had and with nowhere near the margin of support he'll need to secure more than one majority. Meanwhile, Americans will probably be ready to elect the Green Party once Trump is finished with them.

Sure, just wait until Trump is saying that.

Its weird that still needs to be said so repeatedly. Is that a la la la I hear? I'm still getting used to these new hearing aids

Trump just peed himself and Trudeau got the credit.

Who? LMAO!

Because now they see the US as an even more unreliable partner...to the point of being a threat. It's all so much water under the bridge now with Trump flooding the world with shit.

I still say the last thing Poilievre will need is Trump endorsing him, especially when the election will be about Trump instead of Trudeau.

He's putting the fear of chaos into the world and we're the front line in its defense. I'm quite sure NATO will buy it if we focus on defending our southern border.

Well sure, the US does have military bases all around the world. And it's the only country talking about using force to make us American.
