That's how Iran almost ended up with a nuclear weapon, not to mention dismiss the fact Iran sponsors and controls many different terrorist groups, because everyone was afraid of what Iran would do....or how it would look like come election time...Israel and the US are doing the world a huge favor by punishing Iran...

Do you think Iran supporting and directing many major terrorism networks has cause much more pain and suffering than the US and their campaign against the worlds largest terrorist supporter....without these terrorist groups most of the middle eastern problems would be gone... I think the world has a chance to get rid of this terrorist state, bring peace to the region, allow Iranians to become a more peaceful country is worth the pain we are suffering right now... wouldn't take what the Europeans say to seriuosly, they have their share of donkeys as well....

Advice the whole world should be taking, instead of sitting around talking about it.....and allowing Iran to hold a world trade route hostage, They should be upholding international law and telling Iran open or else....But why would they do that, today most governments are racking in bils of increased revenues, and they don't give a crap about nations that depend on that trade route for everything.... The hatred for trump has clouded everyone's decision making process...In favor for the largest supporter of terrorism ever...funny how we can support Hamas, but the people of Iran that live under a deadly religious zealot the west has no time for them...

See you do understand the problem, and we all thought you were just another NDP pretty face....

Because your head is stuck in the sand maybe...how many trillions need to be wasted before you do comment or as you say bit$h about it....or perhaps the liberals can burn money at this rate but god forgive us if that have been conservatives doing it, would you bit$h then ? I think every tax payer should be holding the government accountable regardless of who is in power....and bit%h loudly , enough for things to change...

I'm sure they will, but lets face reality as long as Trump is president EV in America are not going to be that popular....and the US market has a huge influence on our market...

Your right Harper is or was part of the problem, But don't pretend this was all his doing.....the liberals have had a much longer term in office to screw things up to the point we have today.....but here is the rub, your man Justin had 10 plus years to improve upon harpers record and he did not even try....Carney who has only a year at the wheel has decided to bend them over another table and invite in Chinese cars to further complicate the whole issue....and after Justin we are just suppose to trust Carney because you guys think he is the man....liberal voters kinda suck at picking "The man"

That's not what the media is saying, good try ....They are going to be working on the Cusma deal...advising Carney yes, but on trade...along with dozens of others... Meran while other industries have signaled Carney that they are on their last months, the need this trade deal or the tool and die industry will be gone from Canada...they can't wait , they employ just over 50,000 jobs with another 100,000 jobs dependent on that industry.....I know not worth the effort right....Mexico has managed to almost get their deal done, and without Canada....do you really think we are going to get the deal you think we are, Our own trade deal people are saying it is not going to look like the deal we have now there will be more tariffs....meaning more job losses....Now that what i call negotiating...all these job losses plus more tariffs.....

You can't make this stuff up....despite official video showing Canadian diplomats doing precisely that. Canada helped approve a motion for the Islamic Republic of Iran to be appointed to the UN’s Committee for Program and Coordination It means that Iran will have an oversight role on UN programs ranging from gender equality to terrorism prevention to “peaceful uses of outer space.” Iranian delegates will also have access to the committee’s various expense accounts, including for travel. Imagine the world largest supporter of terrorism and now they will be on the committee that studies its prevention....The UN just keeps getting wackier every day....and the Liberals aided in this....then did the liberal thing and denied it...classic liberal move...Why are we even still part of the UN ? should be a question we need to study... .... First reading: Canada says it didn't endorse UN Iran appointment (except it did)

Ya thank god i mean i can count on one hand what he has gotten done so far....he has accomplish none of his campaign promises, sh!t we are still do not have free trade across the provinces...Carney said that was the easiest one to complete... we should have a new holiday named after him, get a day off....

They are aiding Carney to get a trade deal, why is that so hard to understand....And what happened to the original staff he had working on a trade agreement....Could all this be because the liberals have not been in honest negotiations since oct 2025...according to the us....Or could it be that Mexico is close to completion of their portion of Cusma.... The question should be why now....I mean the Liberal moto is the US is the enemy, many on here think we don't need a deal.....when everyone else think we should have had one months ago...

What projects are under way now, to improve our electrical grid, or power generation...i think Ontario is building a nuke plant....the first answer is free... With out any new infra structure to support these EV chargers what do you think is going to happen... And yet under trump the EV market has crashed...and for the most part so has ours...

Do you think it is just tariffs that have been driving out manufacturers...I would say a large portion of that is Liberal policies...Canada has driven out over a trillion dollars investments since 2015.....If we have cars already in that price point why do we need Chinese ones...I see you have not addressed why we should deal with China, despite all the pain they have given us in the past... You really think China is more advances auto sector than we do, come on man.....China has cheap labor, and pricing is made to take over markets...once they have the market what do you think they will do...Don't liberal do any critical thinking at all.... And in the last 20 years what has Canada done to retain or get more manufactures into Canada. Very little...No vision...I will say this again....NA auto industry is Thiers....Canada has taken a bite out of it, and now we think we own what we have taken....or been allowed to manufacture...Why would the US not want to bring it all back to America...Canada would do the same if in their shoes.... They are not our partners, America is looking out for Americans first....just like Canada does....My opinion is that we as a nation can not compete with an economy the size of the US, we are symbiotic to them , we survive because of them...We has a nation have formed our economy around them...the fact that 80 % of our GDP comes from the US has got to be a huge red blink light.....NO, liberals don't see that , they think it is cool to antagonize Trump, for a few votes, we will see if Carney tactic will work come this summer......We got lazy and instead of looking to diversify we said why should we....WE did this to ourselves, Trump just took advantage of our mistake..... The reality is this, US will dictate the terms of Cusma, just like last time, Carney will be allowed to save some sacred cows, but they are going to come out on top....Canada will be bent over for some time....If you think we are going to get a better deal by holding out your not been following trump very closely....You don't get a better deal at the Car dealer but poking fun at the sales person....that's what we have been doing... If you think we have the high hand here you've drank to much of Carneys kool aid....look at what we have already given up, on short notice... There has been NO productive talks since last Oct , according to US negotiators, Mean while Mexico is almost completed their part of the trade agreement....wonder what they gave up to get a deal.... On other note the tool and die industry was in Ottawa to beg for a trade deal with the US and say that entire industry has maybe 3 to 4 months left then well over 50,000 jobs are going to be gone, with other industries being effected , and they will lose 100 K in jobs...And we have not even sat down and really discussed trade.....How many jobs are we willing to risk to get the best deal....we are not going to get the best deal....what we are going to get is more job losses and while we lose jobs Mexico will gain jobs....How is all that going to look like on Carneys record....

If the price point is the same, which it won't be...then why invite them into the NA market....to compete against the NA auto market... What could we possible learn from the Chinese EV that we don't already know...That would make all of this viable... So the Liberal answer is to bring in Chinese cars....Currently those cars are fully made in China....how does that help our auto sector...Plenty of other autos we could make from around the globe. You just said our auto sector has been under siege for decades, then blamed trump for all our problems , which one is it....And to be real it is their auto industry.... Canada does not have a national brand auto.... Do you think bringing in Chinese cars is going to look preferable when dealing with Cusma this summer....is it worth the possibility of having tariffs on everything...This is the hill you want to die on....one that will see Canada throw away 80 % of its trade to the US, because you want to stick it to trump over a few cars...Your the one that is not keeping up....we already know what Trump is capable of, and yet liberals continue to give him the finger every chance they get , and then act surprised when he does lose his sh!t, and then blame him for the whole mess.... You and others are pissed because Trump told us what to do, that it hurt your feelings, get over yourself........Finally someone from the US stood up to us for taking advantage of our neighbors down south, " how dare they make us pay for what we got for free"....According to the US Canada has not even been at the table for serious talks since Oct of 2025.....your excuse is we are not going to sign a bad deal...we don't even have a deal to start with, and this summer we might not even have a trading partner....or we have one that has tariffed everything....We need to stop half a$$es everything we do...

So where is Carneys plan to increase the infra structure to feed all these electrical items....where is the plan to build more nuke plants, Solar, wind, other clean energy ideas, update our electrical infra structure...we are not ready....not even close...

That is the entire point, North America can not compete against anything made in China. second, China is one of the largest threats to Canada, underestimating this is to our peril, as we have seen with tariffs, election interference, Espionage, you name it the Chinese have their name attached to it...Mt question is WHY do we need their trade ? NA manufacturers can not compete against all the advantages China brings to the table...And NA consumers will flock to these cheaper vehicles, because they LOVE CHEAP Sh!T.. and saving good paying auto industry jobs is not even a thought for Canadian consumers ....Do you really think China wants to sell cheap cars because they like us, they want to destroy our current auto sector, they know what it is worth...They also know that once they gain access they will own it in short order.... You think the NA market can produce cars cheaper than what they do now....perhaps but once the profit margin is gone, they'll close up shop, and we will lose out on thousands of jobs....they'll just pack up and shut er down...and all we will be left with is expensive Chinese cars...they'll be making bils and you'll be wondering why your Chinese crap is not working well... When you have a auto sector already under siege, you don't put the final nail in the coffin....by introducing another hurdle for them to solve or compete against... Canadians might see a short term gain, with cheaper pricing but do you think that is going to last....

I find it funny that the left can use "you people" when ever they want, and some how it is not racist....Don Cherry....but when the right uses it they are fired from their job.... No liberal means just that, a Liberal, or liberal voter.... Lefty sometime includes all left side of the spectrum, Liberal, NDP, Green party.... But lets be real the NDP and Green party are on the far side of the left spectrum....like on the fringes....I normally refer to them as wackidoodles of the political landscape...

Liberals don't like graphs and facts it ruins there talking points, they are always point fingers every where but themselves...they don't like to be shown that they the voters brought this on to every Canadian....we are here today because the liberals voted in m0rons...stand up take a bow....your decision making skills suck...

Not even close.... Under harper spending did not decrease...it increased....from 16 bil to 19 bil....Higher than his predecessor, So he did increase military spending, Your cherry picking stats because it suits you... Chretien had military budget at 1.9 % GDP and dropped it to 1.1...That was the largest cut to the military budget in Canadian history, he slashed the budget manpower levels, everything, hence why it isa called the decade of darkness...Liberal government have done more harm to our military than any other government....And when they have spent money it was because they were forced....Trudeau snr, Trudeau jr, Carney all forced to spend money as each time our military was on the verge of irrelevance, and pressure from NATO.... You can paint Harper as the worst and yet, a good portion of military purchases of our modern military equipment was purchase by him...What has the liberals purchased again...

I gave you a source a page ago....from CTV, don't bother responding, i'm done talking to someone that can't keep up...

now you just being a dick...you know who we are talking about....I'm tapping out...

a Very large portion of them were NAZI's or supported them.... Same with Hamas....have you seen the tapes of Hamas terrorist dragging dead Jewish hostages through the street and the crowd cheering and celebrating...not many Palestinians do not support Hamas or the next terrorist group that takes over...

Have you read the terms of MAID you , should start there....and tell us how a deaf guy was accepted after being refused a couple of times.... Do you think being deaf is life threatening...which is the terms of maid, or the original terms any ways...now the fact he was eventually approved means you don't need a life threaten condition nor was he in any pain, anyone can apply and be accepted and in the near future, we are going to accept mentally challenged people as well...are many cases in the media of people being approved that did not meet the minimum conditions of MAID....there is at least 4 cases of military members being offered maid , and all they had was PTSD...which can be treated...

Harper was not the lowest , that would be Mr Chrétien What your failing to mention is the largest cuts to the military where incurred during Chretien rein, lets not forget the decade of darkness where the military budget started at 1.9 % of GDP and ended at .08. % of GDP....the largest cut in Canada's history... During the Jean Chrétien era (1993–2003), Canadian military spending fell significantly, reaching a low of approximately 1.1% to 1.2% of GDP by the early 2000s, down from nearly 1.9% in 1992. These austerity measures, driven by1995 federal budget cuts, led to what some analysts and military personnel, such as General Rick Hillier, termed a "decade of darkness" for the Canadian Armed Forces. Atlantic Council +2 Key details regarding military spending under Chrétien: The "Decade of Darkness": Defense spending saw major cuts to help balance the federal budget, resulting in some of the lowest spending levels in Canadian history. Declining Percentages: While inherited from the late Cold War, spending dropped from around 1.9% of GDP in 1992 to approximately 0.8% in 1999 (data sometimes varies slightly, with other estimates placing it closer to 1.1% by 2001). Post-Cold War Context: Similar to other nations in the 1990s, the Liberal government reduced defence commitments, resulting in reductions to staff, procurement, and equipment availability. It should also be noted that all spending in Afghanistan came out of the military budget, with both governments , combined with cuts the military have to come up with the total price tag of the mission, including those projects lead by global affairs.... HARPER... Military spending during Stephen Harper's term (2006–2015) was characterized by an initial surge to support the Afghanistan mission followed by deep cuts as the government shifted focus toward eliminating the federal deficit. CBC +2 Key Spending Trends Initial Increases (2006–2009): Early in his term, Harper pledged the "largest increase in military spending in a generation". Spending rose from approximately $15 billion in 2005 to a peak of nearly $21 billion by 2011. Post-2012 Reductions: Following the 2008 recession, the government enacted major budget cuts. By 2014, defense spending dropped to 1% of GDP, which was the lowest level relative to the economy in Canadian history at that time. Budget Underspending: Reports indicate that between 2006 and 2015, the Conservative government failed to spend roughly $10 billion of its own approved military budgets. Inflation Impact: While the nominal budget grew from $16 billion in 2005 to $19 billion by 2015, the inflation-adjusted value remained virtually unchanged at around $16.1 billion. The Dorchester Review +4 Major Initiatives and Procurement The Canada First Defence Strategy (2008): A 20-year plan that envisioned spending $490 billion to replace major fleets and increase troop strength to 70,000. Much of this strategy was eventually abandoned due to high costs. Equipment Acquisitions: Successes included the purchase of C-17 Globemaster heavy-lift planes, C-130J Hercules transports, and Leopard 2 tanks for use in Afghanistan. Procurement Delays: Many high-profile projects faced significant setbacks or "lapses" in funding, including: F-35 Fighter Jets: The planned replacement for the CF-18s became a persistent political and budgetary headache. Navy Vessels: Delivery dates for destroyers and support ships slipped repeatedly, with billions in spending deferred. Arctic Patrol Ships: These were part of Harper's specific focus on Arctic sovereignty but experienced long lead times

Not really are you saying that Palestinians don't want the total destruction of the Israelis state, and cleanse every Jew on the planet is any different than the NAZI ideology of want to cleanse them from the planet...how is that a stretch...
