Army Guy

oh they know a lot, they know How to handle trump, they know how to solve the housing crises, they know how to solve our broken military, they know how to fix health care, they know just about everything , what they don't know is how to fix any of it...ya waiting is costing us jobs....waiting is costing us opportunities, we have the worst economy in the G-7, worst everything really....but ya.. we hope they know what they are doing....well liberals do...

Come on, your comparing Harpers record to Justin's, Harper looks like a rocket scientist compare to justins.......my pet gopher has got as better record than Justin's...

I agree, the damage did take 10 plus years to make...But here is the rub, at this rate it will take 50 years just to come complete circle...And you'll have to excuse my skepticism as you guys voted for the country wrecker 3 times in a row, your not exactly good at picking the right guy...seems to be a problem here in Canada with the other parties as well...

Perhaps i do, i would have thought spending 34 years in our military serving this country would have been enough love towards the country....and trust me when i joined it was not for the money...my home town garbage man made much more than i was... As for listing them day after day, well i want everyone not to forget what is wrong and hopefully someone will listen to them and take some positive action...Nothing gets fixed if no body says anything...Like i said before you have options available to you, about skipping my inciteful comments.......Thank you for for the compliment, your one of my favorite lefties... I think this report card is more factual, and really has no bias per say....in it i think you'll find what everyone has been saying progress has been very slow and not everyone is happy with all the outcomes...He needs a win this summer with Cusma or his ratings are going to drop... https://abacusdata.ca/carney-government-report-card-an-updated-look-at-public-perceptions/

Sure....this is what happens when ever YOU got nothing.... We will see come this summer when they start talking about Cusma, we will see which strategy is going to win over the Americans, Yours where we do nothing except provoke them, ( because that is in the negotiating 101 playbook)or the one where we sit down and listen, take some positive actions.... and perhaps come up with some compromises'...That would be the smart move...but not for you guys on the left you want to fight the giant in the room...because you feel butt hurt over some words trump has said..... There is your delusion and then then is reality....Thinking that Canada can compete against an economy the size of the US...is wishful thinking.... Did you watch Carney on his visits to the US, he was on his knees the whole time....and never spilled a drop....your guy is going to get it from both ends come Cusma time...He has already had to swallow some key points to get this far....

No i love Canada, what i don't care to much for is the everything that is left...and what they have done with this country...it has been far to long without any real leadership...and while Carney is light years ahead of Justin in that department he is very slow to show any progress....even Liberal voters are saying it... your statement is right out of the liberal play book, don't like what the liberals are doing to the country "JUST" move.... I think every Canadian has the right to express their disappointment in where our country is today, and the governing party....With out moving, or being told to STFU...But hey nobody force you to respond, there is the ignore button, or just don't read my posts....but some how you can't help yourself, just step up and tell me I'm your favorite poster...

Then your not very good at this are you....the US economy is 10 times the size of ours, they are not dependent on Canada for anything except energy....They are going to dictate to Canada....what they like or want...or they simple replace Canada trade with someone else, like Mexico...does it take a genius to see that, no.... Are you saying Canada has not already bent over, when it comes to US demands or requests....we will wait until the summer and see who dances to whose music....and just for augment sake because you and the liberals have our pride at sake here...what is Canada going to do when it does not get is way... what happens when the US carries out it's threats and drops Canada from CUSMA...and tariffs everything until we do toe the line, what happens to our economy then...Well in this case the smaller kids get their face caved in...over and over until that kid learns either to fight or where they fit in on the food chain...And this fight Canada will never win....that's reality....except in this case the kid is 10 feet tall, and we are all but 2 feet....and this is going to show up in Cusma deal....

That's what you see, what the US see's is Canada not a reliable NATO partner for decades, not a good NORAD partner, and in their eyes not a good trade partner....we have lose immigration policies, our border has more holes in it than swiss cheese....(renting 4 helos is not going to fix that) To date Canada has given them the finger, and now in comes trump who is more forceful and for the most part Canada crys...So Canada has actions so far have lead us to this point....we need to step up and own that sh!t....and take some action...You and me don't know what the US are talking about Chinese made cars, but they have also laid out the law to them as well...We should not be dealing with the Chinese at all.... Unless you have not heard Unions , Doug ford have already said NO to Chinese cars or any vehicles...But sure bring them in and see what uncle trump does, see if it is worth all the trouble....Like i said they hold all the cards....we do not have leverage over the US Like i said wait until this summer when Cusma is on the table...and we will see who does the talking and who does the listening.... What do we know what is going on, we receive little tidbits, from our government , it is the USA government doing all the talking and none of their news is any good. What we do know is Carney was the only one to deal with trump, he is a master negotiator and well know banker , that has done nothing in the way of handling trump...but he has flown a lot...and eats some very expensive airplane food...that's what i know.... The cost of living is costing jobs here in Canada , everything cost more...fuel is out of control, what has he done to solve any of that....how many homes has he built in Canada to date....the failures are building...Lets not forget the US economy is ten times ours.....when they fart we smell it....

So how is that the military responsibility...any shortage of critical infra structure is either a provincial or federal problem....And i am very skeptical that there is going to be any MASSIVE military build up as you think there is....it might surge to 1000 people, but improving military infra structure, sure fill your boots, but including road networks , civilian infra structure is nothing more than padding the NATO budget....when in reality it was the Provincial and federal governments that created this problem...not the military., Military has operated 300 people at each one of those main logistical hubs....with out any problem.....Now the have a means to spend money and kill two birds with one stone....have money to count as NATO spending and help out what they have neglect for decades.... Again your talking about cost, lets not start cying about how expensive it is to live there, Military people get extra bonus added to their pay to compensate....more military means more money flowing into the community...it is not a take take situation....military will provide good paying jobs to the community, along with a long list of other things.........But it is not the military job to provide for all their needs that is a provincial and federal job... How much of this money is going to other Inuit towns or villages, that do not have a military presence....None they will fix 5 northern communities and Canada will forget the rest...Is it tough to live up north sure it is....does it cost a lot...sure it is....but who is suppose to look after that stuff.....the governments...Once everyone heard about the federal government boosting their budget every man and dog is line to get what is theirs...and in the mean time the military will get a few trinkets and call it a day...

You can laugh all you want, we can all laugh or cry together when he tariffs everything we trade with them....but you voted for the left right...., we can always eat grass and dried bugs right...we will still have our pride....we can sing songs like F trump, and that will fill our bellies....

That's what i would do, rest the fate of our economy to wishful thinking...I'm sure that is in the economics 101 hand book...makes sense now....you read the lefts hand out....good for you...

Why do we need the US to explain anything to US...well we do 80 % of our trade with them, we need them more than they need us....Yes we are antagonizing them , they clearly stated that they did not want any Chinese cars to be sold in north America...not by us and not by Mexico.... Chinese autos are not part of the NA auto industry....sorry...ask Ontario or Canadas Auto union if they want Chinese cars ? they have said clear NO fing way....the industry has been heavily damaged and we want to give more away....is that good economics ? Your not in charge, the liberals think it is a good idea, but they are not in charge either, the terms will be laid out by the US, or they will leave CUSMA leaving Canada with a full bag of tariffs on everything..... So ya if you think Canada has any control it is because the US gave it to us , pissing them off before Cusma is signed, is not a good idea........we will see how that works out come time to settle CUSMA.... I'm not my opinion, that is todays reality, that while this president is in charge, he will get his way or destroy everything in his path....Canada will bow to him come Cusma, or lose everything......even Carney the touted master negotiator will not get his way on these issues...Carney does not hold all the cards and the ones he has can be replaced by another nation... No you elected a guy that has not accomplished much in his first year....Election is over....your man is not the man we all thought he was...

Regardless of who YOU or the liberal party think of the president of the US, the fact remains is they are the big dog in the street, and if you F around you lay around....we need them more than they need us....I don't know why i have to explain that to someone that claims to be an economic guy.. That's what this is all about, the left does not like to be told what to do....got nothing to do with trump or the US...what your doing is destroying our chances at a CUSMA agreement, and a lot more....TO you and those like you, being right or being your own man is more important to you than survival itself....The global reaction was to get a deal, and over ride their pride....because their nations depend on US commerce ..It is called diplomacy...right now we have none... So trump is all over the map, this is not Canada's first trump presidency...and yet we have forgotten what he is like , read a book and find out how to deal with him.....leave your attitude and pride at the door, and think about the country and not the next election.... you can call it what ever you want, i call it being a realist.....BUT lets be clear, Canada is not in the drivers seat, never has been, never will be....so you can bend over like the rest of the countries or learn how to eat birch bark and bird seeds...once our economy is destroyed....

Yes we are, if the US has already explained dealing with China is a bad idea....and we do it anyways that is antagonizing.... And yes i agree Trump has laid down the rules, and we have constituently broken them....He as the largest dic* on the block gets to make all the rules...not Canada not anyone else....we has a nation have to come to those terms...we are not as big or as important as we think we are... So this makes sense, we antagonize our largest trading partner , and then try and do business with a nation that holds only 4 % maybe....how do you square that hole, anyone with a functioning brain would say that is a mission impossible...if for some reason we can not even cut off China that represents a 4 % share of GDP....how do we mange to wean off the US 80% share....It sounds good on the liberal propaganda sheet and if it was easy we should be noticing a huge drop in US trade...but we are not...it is mission imposable...and when the next president comes in it will all be reversed...

Where in my post did i state that ? Building anything from China here in Canada is a bad idea....period....I'll repeat that anything from "China" is a bad idea....The Americans don't like it, because it undermines North American auto industry....which includes most of those you mentioned....

Im sure he likes the idea of not having tariffs ....maybe we should ask doug ford what he thinks...

Yes that is what I'm saying...you seem OK to risk our current trading practices we have with the US , over some Chinese cars..... When your one of the worlds largest economy's , and our next door neighbor, to whom 70 to 80 % of our trade goes to yes....they do have a say in what and whom we trade with.....Just as they have a say on who they trade with.....or they stop taking trade from Canada and Canadians learn how to eat crow.. and become the 51 st state.... Why do you hate being in a prosperous country so much would risk most of our GDP for a couple of Chinese cars.......Is this the hill you want to die on.....DO you liberals think about consequences at all...

As ridiculous as antagonizing our largest trading partner i'm sure...70 to 80 % of our trade is with the US...So for you and other liberals this makes sense, lets keep kicking the US in the Nuts and hope we can diversify our trade to the point we don't rely on the US...How well is that working out for us.....We can't even replace Chinas 4 % of GDP trade how do we replace the 70 to 80 % of US trade.....Please Use little words that my attitude and understanding can comprehend....Well i may not have a degree in economics but I'm pretty sure that this liberal reasoning is not going to solve any of our problems, with this president.......Even you understand that... When we have not signed on to a new trade agreement yes, i worry about upsetting the Americans, signing anything with the Chinese is not a good move, they have already slapped Canada with massive tariffs in the past because they did not get what they wanted, what makes they a reliable partner... not to mention all the human rights abuses, they are still committing....And as some liberals on here have already suggested morals and values should not come into play when we are talking about money....SO why not buy oil or other products from Iran, Iraq, Russia, Afghanistan, shit liberals lost their minds when Canada wanted to sell LAV 7 to Saudi.. but now it is ok to do business with anyone....because it is 2026 baby The US is the largest economy in North America, they can dictate what they want to whom ever they want because we need them more than they need us....Risking any of that is RIDICULOUS and lacks understanding of how all this works...

We will all care when CUSMA is not agreed upon or canceled and the US levies tariffs on all Canadian goods....you do know 70 to 80 % of all our trade goes to the US right...and when it is tariffed and us consumers are not buying it because it is to expensive....what do we do then sherlock.....

We are not talking about massive military growth, there are 300 Military personal at each location , it might surge to 1000, unless you have a source that states other wise...My problem with this whole solution the liberals have is making this a Military expenditure, when clear this is either a provincial, or federal failure to provide this communities what they need to survive in the way of funding........ and now Making it a military problem so they can account for NATO expenditures which Canada has known about these critical shortages for decades....and now suddenly we will throw money at it and count it as military infra structure...because it is convenient.... As for building anything, we built CFS alert the most northern facility in the world, i think we can build some hangers and barracks/ PMQ for the military... where is the 300 military people that are already there , where do they live... Not sure what the prices of food has to do with the topic, yes it is expensive, Military pers get bonus for just that thing....

Yes, this is going to go over like a lead balloon for out neighbors down south...it is almost like carney wants to poke trump with a sharp stick....this combines with sending champagne to dig up more trade...Is there any one that thinks this is a good idea....

It is obvious you did not watch any of those video's ...and if you did and think this is normal behavior then that would explain a lot about you.....Batsh!t crazy is the most polite word i could find at the time...and it does not even scratch the surface on how insane those gatherings got....And we are not trying to limit any peoples choices, just sift out the crazies, and the nets is full with this party...........just calling this one out how it seems to most Canadians...And if you think these guys are going to grow the NDP voter pool I'll bet you it will never get any where nears its hay day, or even Mulcair days....and this has got nothing to do with working class people...
