Europe as the European union... It is a big team, family, union, group, one large nation, it can be described many ways...the fact is they are acting with one voice , one direction in this issue...

Correct me if i'm wrong but eyeball is suggesting taking from the haves, or those that have worked hard to get where they are now, and give that to the have not's which have made a choice not to work hard or not at all.. I come from a family that was in that "have not" category, a huge combined family of 10 kids....each one of those kids worked hard and brought themselves out of the "have not" category....it takes sacrifice and like i said hard work....today we live a comfortable life, as do my kids, we are not rich by any means but we are not living in a trailer court, and eating kraft dinner, and peanut butter sandwiches everyday either... Here in NB i see families that have been on welfare for generations....due only to the fact they don't want to get that education or job to bring them up to the next level....I know there are plenty of people that say being on welfare is no joking matter, but these people are getting along just fine, gaming the system, and doing other things to make do. Sorry but i don't support sharing, i will show you how to get to a better place, even give you short term material support, but i do not have any patience for lazy people.

I wonder how this is going taken by Trump, as this is one of his sticky points, by 2030 we should hit 2 % of GDP....I find the whole thing laughable, that was Justins plan and the US did not like it at all....and now the new liberals are going to keep the old plan , while talking out of the side of their faces about taking things more seriously....Even in the throne speech military spending is mentioned... Defence minister tells arms makers to prepare for accelerated federal spending NATO is expected to raise the new spending limited to 5%, that translates into 3.5 % spent on equipment, and 1.5 % spent on infrastructure and logistics....this is expected to pass this june...And i'm sure there is going to be a deadline...to put this into some perspective, it is going to take us spending an additional 15 bil a year to reach 2 %, and maybe another 30 to 40 bil to reach 3.5 % and then infrastructure and logistics another 1.5 %... My question is where are we getting all this funding , or better yet what programs are going to have to be shut down....And is this still going to be popular with Canadians NATO’s Rutte embraces 5 percent defense spending goal – POLITICO

sure....

100 % right the federal fiscal budget is from Apr 1st to march 31 st, and i might be wrong here but the budget we all were expecting was more of the liberals game plan such as what was announced in the throne speech, the budget which will be tabled later this year was how they were going to pay for all these campaign promises and their way forward....and where is all this new money coming from.... So yes we want him to table a new budget, to tell us how is going to pay for all his new promises or policies, as i'm sure Justins budget did not take in any of the new liberal direction...that make sense... What your suggesting is , is there is no way to find out who or what is going to be spent until a new fiscal year....which is not very transparent is it ? As we have a new government with a brand new direction, that no funding has been attached to....would it not be like a blank check let's spend what we want until we are forced to table a fiscal budget in Apr of next year...just 10 months from now...so a full year of no budget?

Thats bull sh!t...In this country everyone has the same rights same opportunities as the next guy, people willing to get a good education, work hard are rewarded in this country...not everyone is willing to do those things, take here in NB a large portion of the population is on welfare or Poggy, they either don't want to work, or find a job that works 4 seasons becasue of personal preference...I call it it being to lazy to get a job, why work when they can sit at home do nothing and have the government pay their way....and it is generational, our government created that problem... .... there is going to be times where people are going to need a helping hand...but to take advantage of government assistance for decades is not right ....what needs to happen is cut them off, give them a year to sort out their problems then cut them off force them to school or work... Our entire democracy works that way, no where in the constitution does it say there is a free ride for those that don't want to put in the work....there are opportunities out there for anyone that is looking ..can't do that from the couch or waiting for your government check...

That is exactly what your doing, liberals did the bare minimum it could to stay in power, in fact the last 4 years NDP forced them to take action on a few files.... Opposition party does not run the governing parties agenda,or set policies the job of the opposition party is to hold the current government accountable for it's actions...and in the case of a majority just explain to us how or when the conservatives were needed to help....And i'm pretty sure during Covid all parties worked together to pass legislation needed. You blame them because you can't step back and blame those responsible becasue they are on your team... Justin does not get to get away with all the sh!t he pulled while on his watch, he owns every minute he was in power....

This is typical liberal speak, shift the blame to the opposition party becasue it is convenient, lets not even talk about the liberals faults because there is to many, one would not know where to start, lets start with Justin was the worst PM in our history....start there....there are 3 parties on the left, and 2 on the right, both the left and right are "miles" apart on almost every issue, gun control, military, entire security apparatus, foreign assistance, the list goes on and on....where do you think they would find common ground...Blaming the conservatives for something the liberals did or wanted nothing to do with cooperation is talking out of your ass... NDP got what exactly in the 4 plus years they were joined with the liberals....and what they did mange is not even close to being fully implemented...is that the standard for getting what it wants, pretty low bar... Imagine if the liberals had common sense , and did things that benefited Canadians, you could take some time and mention what exactly did the liberals do in the last 9 plus years under justin...I'm pretty sure Carney has done more in his short time in office....you can't lay the success or failure of the liberal party on anyone except themselves...And while every Canadian has one vote to do with what they want, i'm not sure how you justify giving the liberals another term after what they have accomplished to date...and yet somehow a large chunk of canadians did....it had nothing to do with what was best for the country, or who had the best policies or platform, it was all about how they hated PP and how he looked...

How has trump threaten our identity ?...Liberals have been saying for years we really don't have a Canadian identity...Even Canadians struggle to identify our own identity....what makes Canada unique from others....lets not start with maple syrup Many Canadians have not thought twice about the royals, https://globalnews.ca/news/11193948/royals-canada-monarchy-king-charles-revival/ and today those numbers are much lower, for some reason....it is almost like Canadians can't make up their minds...until there is some advantage to be had....we are still part of the club, because the majority are to lazy to change it...who would we put on our money, most of the past Canadians have done something to insult someone....and we've already torn done most statues anyways... your last statement is telling since 1977, say alot about how much Canadians value our king and Queen...the last time someone from the royal family did visit we complained who was going to pay for all of it....that sends an inviting message does it not...Again what is our true identity ?

And here we are again, if you need a hug just say so, there free.... Everything you have said in the last 10 posts have been lost on me, what is it they say, in one ear out the other....becasue there is no value in any of it...I've up voted stuff you have said mind you not often, but i do up vote on comments that i agree with...Sorry muffin man, want more up votes your going to have to step up....or maybe it is not a him problem but a you problem...anyways maybe step back and reflect on you...instead of others....i guess that's what happens when you vote liberal, you lose your objectivity.... Maybe you should be looking at writing a book, now that you've gleaned all this wisdom from the forum...

Sure it is, but when you look at the numbers of american equipment being sold in Europe, it is shrinking very fast... Well 3 out of dozens is not the majority...but rather a few countries... Yes they do , but Europe is also developing their own substitutes for many of American made weapons ...there will always be the exceptions. Trump pressure on Europe to become more self sufficient is going to hurt US weapon manufacture's... Not all European weapons are better than the US...Not sure why we are even looking at European fighters , no one is currently producing something better than the f-35...or why we are still looking at Conventional subs, that can not patrol our artic 365 days a year....Politics needs to stay out of procurement, their involvement should be limited to approving funding or strategic weapons purchases 15 years to buy a replacement pistol is insane....like canceling the F-35 is insane....

Have you read your posts , the only one whining is you...I'd high five you if you had anything of value to say...but thats rarely happened... And yet you keep on responding, like my posts where crack cocaine, you need them to survive....it's why you won't put me on ignore, because you can't ....

sure they did, and what terrorist activates has happened since...Palestinians have a long record of voting in governments that are terrorist, PLO, Hamas, Fatah it just keeps going on and on....all with the same goal the destruction of Israel....i wonder has Israel declared to the world they want the destruction of all of palestine..... Those victims you tell us about have voted in these terrorist groups, and have not done anything to throw them out....in fact those thousands that left the violence , still decree the destruction of Israel, Change will only come when Palestinian want it...and judging by todays action they are not ready for change....no victims here, only people living with their choices... Yes, thats is what is going to happen, Canada is going to slap them on the wrist, say bad boy, and Israelis will continue their military campaign...because it is every Israelis that lives with these terrorist threats everyday, and they are tired of it.......Israel will stop when they say they will stop....not before....

How did i do that he is saying europe buys 2/3 american equipment...when they don't europe has its' own growing defence industry....i can't make heads or tails out of the rest of your post.

No there is no excuses for any terrorist acts, regardless of who has done it....but your reaching now, almost as if if you done it once you can never be declared anything but a terrorist...those organization you mention have long been taken apart....where in Palestine those terrorist organizations continue to grow and take over it is there acts that have brought misery to the palestinians people and today we are looking at the straw that broke the camels back....Israel will continue to inflict pain on the palestinian people until Hamas is destroyed and the palestinian people give up their terrorist activities... And the world is going to watch as Israel does it because nobody cares what happens to terrorist...or their supporters...

Becasue this is all you have, this is why your on this forum, to attack/ insult people....just go back through all your posts maybe 10 % sees you contribute to the conversation the other 90% is insults and you getting angry... I can't it's like watching a train wreck...only you never stop wrecking....

And your still going on about one mistake, but fail in any regard to prove otherwise.... AI is being used around the world to do alot of things including higher education....it seems it does not bother them or the users that use the damn thing.... This is all about you, having a bug up your arse....it is what you do, and once again you have not provided much to this conversation except go on about AI....just let it go man...

They purchased trans mountain, which you have reminded conservatives so often....they paid to have it finished...So they do build stuff including pipelines, refineries, and house according to carney....

Here in NB most people have the bulk mail boxes at the end of the street, in town most mail is hand delivered... postal workers on average make 40 grand, and don't work a full 8 hour day, the guy that use to deliver my mail started at 7 am and was finished by noon........managers make up to 120 k a year...but work a full 8 hour day... In today world almost everything is available online, or direct deposit....even the flyers are delivered by private companies.

Sure....i guess thats a matter of opinion, that and 4 bucks gets you a coffee.

It is time Canada post gets deleted or downsized in a new hybrid model...many other nations do the same thing....we've been blackmailed by this group for far to long....

you do know both of those parties are terrorist organizations, which accounts for 86 % of the vote , like i said the voted in a terrorist party, look good on them...

You've had a one sided opinion on this topic forever....Palestinians have elected a terrorist organization in free democratic elections....They have shown overwhelming support for terrorist and everything they do.....The only way to deal with these people is with Maximum violence, which is what they are getting right now, some palestinians are coming around and don't want hamas in charge....hopefully the rest of them come to their senses before the entire gaza is in ruins....The only ones that can stop the violence are the Palestinian people....

It is true Canada does control pricing and they do have import quotas, but according to data the US market has failed to meet those quotas for free trade under USMCA agreements....the question should be why...If they are not meeting the free exchange of dairy goods, there is no real reason to complain about the high tariffs, which are ridiculous to start with ranging around 300 % more. Here in Canada if a farmer exceeds his quota of milk produced, they dump it in the drain...however they pay for said quota and it is not cheap...you can under produce your quota but not sell any milk over your quota. As for crossing the border i know dozens of people that do just that for many food items, dairy is one of them, i used to drive to St Stevens NB about 45 min drive from my home buy food , milk and cheese, and gas up and return home and still save on those bills...even with the exchange rate....have not done it in a while but lots of people still doing it, the savings are not what the used to be.. I find American milk taste better... https://farmonaut.com/canada/usmca-dairy-trade-5-key-impacts-on-us-canada-tariffs

Somehow Canadians forgot what the liberals did in the last 9 years and gave them a forth term....what about all the scandals', involving some of the same ministers we see in cabinet now...I'm betting Canadians forget about this by next US election....Canadians have the poorest memories on the planet...
