This is just another reason to diversify our economy, apparently we did not learn our lessons from Trump 1.0 or china 1.0 now we get a double whammy....i really hope whoever takes over that we put some of these plans into place....

Nope pretty much shows that canadians could not see leadership if it beat them in the ass, he had great hair and socks, and might even been able to teach a drama class...the bar was set pretty low...and his replacement not much better except this guy thinks he knows our economy...he certainly knows how to bullsh!t...

Look everyone of the experts say the election is coming very soon....If the liberals are in the front of the polls good for them. we will see, come after the election who will govern the country or not....I hope the Liberals lose for personal reasons, I'm also hoping that Alberta does not to leave the union as smith has said....., which will give the US an opportunity to pick them up...which is a huge red flag as we are not as united as we think we are....and once that happens what do you think the future holds for the rest of the country....

Yes it is "you" stated that We Canadians are doing our part as a member of NATO. When we are clearly not even meeting the minimum GDP contribution. which is effecting's not only our obsolete equipment, our manning issues, what we put into benefits for our people, it effect's our size, and that effect's our ability to force generate anything over a battle group...Not much of a member when all you dan deploy in 2500 personal at best...SO it has a major role in what we do or can't do... That seems to be a common answer lately with the liberals it has not been done since 1980....which means what exactly, we knew it was not right , but it is ok because everyone else has done it....It is the federal governments job to ensure we can defend the nation and they failed like those that came before them...., Well sir, liberals have had the ball for almost 9 years now, and had the chance to correct all of that,They have been in charge...and they decided not to correct it why....

Canada is not doing everything it can, like the rest of NATO has slowed rolled it's support, we have been given a golden opportunity to show the world we can support Ukraine with much needed support, arty rounds, tanks, IFV's, arty and updating that equipment at the same time...but instead we have given a few tanks a few arty pieces a few Lav 6.0 CP variant's and some home grown armored cars... and a whole shit ton of stuff that was not worth it's weight in scrap....not really our finest hour....when considering countries like Spain, Norway, Sweden, Holland have given more than we have... Nobody in NATO, is really doing everything they can, All of NATO has slowed rolled it's support afraid of Mother Russia would do next...if they had this war would have been over yesterday....and yes the result of all of this is Ukrainian losses.

Is spending 1.38 of our GDP enough, are we doing our part when the minimum is 2.0 % of GDP, as a military we can't even deploy a full battle group ( less than 2500 personal) to Latvia during peace time i wonder what we could muster during a real crises..

Doesn't matter where it came from, you guys on the left think that we can continue to print money on a whim for any project, it pretty much grows on trees on the west lawn....and yet so much of the federal government is smoking and in most cases on fire due to lack of funding how does the left explain that....we don't need some high speed rail, when our healthcare system is a smoking hole, here in NB we have had 6 people die in waiting rooms waiting to see a doctor.... This is why Canadians want a change in government because of this type of spending...

If your liberal math is correct explain to me why so many federal departments are under funded....apparently we as a nation can not walk and chew gum....

I 100 % agree with this statement, we could have gotten rid of all our tanks, maybe 60 more, all our arty M777 30 or more, all our TAPV,s our M113's even all of our lav 6.0, lots more we really could have given as well, made some major purchases and killed two birds with one stone, helped ukraine, and spent more for our NATO commitment.... Unfortunately the majority of Canadians don't support our own military, something i am grateful for trumps actions is just that he is forcing us as a nation to look more at our own security...border, military etc...and other shortfalls... Those caught buying Russian oil should be shot with a ball of their own shit...

I agree somewhat, RCMP and other policing agencies have been cut to the bone, and can not support the level of manpower it is going to take to dent the drugs in or around Canada. Increasing their budgets could produce better results...Just as CBSA, if you think that checking just 1 % of all trucks and containers, and 0 % of trains is enough , then your part of the problem....increasing their budget is also needed and not just by what they have done so far....which really is peanuts, i mean we just spent 38 bil on day care right....that funding could solve a lot of problems...like border, policing , artic bases, more on defence, more on CSIS, Coast guard, immigration....instead justin was only thinking about his legacy before he left....and not what the country needed....i can't wait for the election We barely check incoming....like 1 % of all incoming traffic....why is that lack of proper equipment, lack of manpower... I seem to think we could be doing a much better job than what is being done today, each one of those departments have been skinned to the bone....they have been in the media saying just that....while Canadians roll over and go back to sleep...blaming trump for our woes....Canadian policing agency are doing what they can , but are limited due to lack of manpower and equipment...it is the same story over and over again.... Bullshit now lets blame the user....they are going to find it anywhere....well this nation is not doing it very well is it....when you only check 1 % thats not the effort that is required to keep our kids safe....and then zero % on all trains....shit you could smuggle in a elephant stuffed with cocaine and not get caught... 50,000 canadians have their lives taken by just fentanyl alone since 2016....100,000 Americans die every year due to this drug.....why would we not want to declare war on these mother truckers....NOPE....instead we need to fight a trade war....Trump has said we did not do enough...did justin offer to do more...that's his job right, what did we get instead tariffs...because justin failed diplomacy...and now we pay....

Nobody is sure any more what his objectives are, What all of this has done is expose our weak points, like the border, policing, etc...and for the first time in a very long time our governments are looking at these problems and taking some action... They are open pretty much, only 1 % of all truck and container traffic is checked by CBSA, and 0 % of train cargo is checked...getting stuff into the country is not the problem...Policing is suppose to be fighting Illegal material before it gets to the border....But yes i agree with you anything entering the US is US border services job to detect and arrest...i don't really think anyone has told the us government that....nor has our government told them about Guns and other illegal drugs entering Canada...it should be tackled from both ends, not a one way like it is being handled now... Australia made the worlds largest bust of Fentanyl that came from Canada...the fact that Fentanyl has made a 2000% increase since 2022 is telling ....pointing out that the main problem is mexico does not negate the fact that large quantities are being produced in Canada, and being shipped across the globe... https://nationalpost.com/news/a-total-act-of-bastardry-australian-police-say-countrys-biggest-fentanyl-load-came-from-canada https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/fentanyl-crackdowns-canada-1.7451585

Your not looking hard enough, he has been on the media as much as DOFO, and justin.... Not excellent, more of a fair response, lets not forget Liberals inaction on most of the topics trump is trying to address are the reasons why we are in this situation in the first place... Why, is that the only way to handle trump...Trump does not respond well to all this chest pounding and rhetoric, as we have already seen on how he treats Justin....one can be diplomatic with our all the yelling and screaming...that may work in a bar, but not with other nations leaders...

Please explain what response has been very good...Lets take a look at what brought us here in the first place, our weaken economy, lack of any leadership,we really don't have a Pm right now.... the fact trump loves justin (sarcasm), weak border, weak policing, weak security including our military, liberal corruption, and the list goes on for pages....and now you want to pat him on the back because he has shown a little back bone...Sure to be honest i did not think justin had it in him....At a boy...now where is the election...

More from PP....

Like taking credit for solving the 2008 financial crises, or stating Canada is the number 1 country for manufacturing microchips, or telling Canadians he was not in charge of moving brookfields HQ to the US, there is so many he got his own meme on U tube... And while he has many years to catch up to Justins lies and scandals i personal think they are the same person.... And it is your vote, to be honest use it anyway you want....I'm throwing mine at the conservatives because i think they are the best platform out there right now, and Canadians and me personally are tired of the liberal party right now, their flip flopping is telling that they really don't have an original platform that Canadians are searching for, but rather are sticking to what is popular to get reelected, with liberal Candidates throwing each other under the bus, it's sad really...........like axing the tax...scrapping the carbon tax one that they literally built all their election promises around, even declared a climate crises... Our nation is under attack, and they are receiving a huge boost for that, but they are really not taking advantage of that...Freeland stated we should use British nukes to defend Canada, how is that an example of critical thinking, Thats grasping at straws....the rest of them are just as bad...with Carney spewing out lies everyday....at least the others have been somewhat trueful.

I think everyone is curious about what carney has in mind, but if your a liberal voter, then i would not be putting much into carney new image for reasons i already stated... I agree , but trump is going to limit all of that, or Canada will have to pay the cost to our economy...He has stated already the 1.38 bil and renting a few choppers is not enough for our border security....what exactly trump wants nobody knows maybe justin knows... Yes, liberals are gaining in the polls, we will see how much during an election.... If he is so smart why is he constantly being caught in lies...he has on many occasions not said the right things... Here is PP latest news brief, this is a sample of what we can expect from PP

This is the liberals shiny knight armor....see 3.15 minutes of the below NDP video...While he sat as chair, he was avoiding paying Canadian taxes, infact brookfield was Canada's number one tax dodger....he placed his role as chair over his country....Is this the guy we want running the country ?

History always repeats itself in Canada, this is trump 2.0 and we are still talking about building pipelines terminals and diversifying our trade...and the next President like trump we will still be talking about the same topics....Much like car insurance nobody wants to pay for it, but once you wreck your car your glad you have it... Yes these investments will be expensive, nothing like the pandemic....but they will create jobs and tax revenue, which we need unlike that high speed rail everyone has been going on about....

It is the main reason we are here today, Liberals have weaken our country , making it a first choice for trump looking to make his first mark....and he still has a huge following to back him up...

The tariffs have already cost both economies, wait a couple of weeks in, then tell me Carney is not going to not only start talks but sign whatever he needs to....Trump needs to show the world he can get a victory and Canada is his weakest target....

Everyone is curious, but let's not think carney is our white knight in shiny armor, Trump is still going to do whatever it is he wants to do, be it with carney or PP..And it is going to be much better for the US than Canada.... Lets just say everyone on the planet hates justin, including most Canadians... I'm not sure who is giving him advice or writing his speeches , but he has been caught in some serious lies already...and we have only seen a fraction of him so far... It may not be up to Carney when the next election is going to be...that's up to Jagmeet, whom will more than likely ask for something big to support the liberals until oct, ( i personal hope the election is not until oct, Carney will have shown his true colors by then...)if not we are going have an election shortly after carney is announced as leader of the liberal party.

How can our economy be stronger than the US...

nobody from the east can afford pearls, ....we clutch our balls it is the only thing the liberals have not managed to take away...
