waldo Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 So bad...but so important to Canada according to Justin Trudeau...it's not even funny, how many times is that now? How many times over multiple threads have you continued to draw reference to those words "so important to us" that Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau made during that CBS network program '60 minutes' interview? Why do you insist in continuing to emphasize those words. Why is this SO IMPORTANT to you? That full quote in response to the 60 minutes question asked PM Trudeau what Canadians don't like about the U.S: "You can't be Canadian without being aware of at least one other country, the United States, because it's so important to us," he said. "I think we sometimes like to think that, you know, Americans will pay attention to us from time to time, too." now, again: Are you truly that naive and insular thinking that you're actually not aware of the important consequence Canada has to the United States... whether that's directly in terms of trade, natural resources, security, defense, border, etc.? .

betsy Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Trump is feeling frisky... charging out today and using Sanders quotes against Clinton.

Is he feeling... lucky? first poll out since Trump has been left standing: CNN/ORC poll (May 4th) => Clinton 54%, Trump 41%... be afraid Canadians, be very afraid! . How did everyone regard Trump when the Republican race first began? Remember, Trump is a businessman. He'll think and respond like one. It's time for Democrats to get more worried about Candidate Trump But those who believe the Trump nomination assures a Clinton victory are not giving enough weight to two important facts: 1. Hillary Clinton is a weak campaigner; Trump is a strong one. At its core, campaigning is about selling a product — the candidate. The reason Trump clobbered the Republican field is that he's a great salesman. Hillary Clinton is not. By her own admission, Clinton is much better at actually doing political jobs than campaigning to get them. 2. No one really knows what Trump believes or would do as president, but we do know that he'll say whatever he thinks will give him the best chance of winning. So far, Trump's pitch has been tailored to appeal to one particular voter constituency — the angry, fed-up right wing. Now that Trump has won over that constituency, he'll turn his sales efforts, and image, to winning another: the center. A great salesperson figures out what customers want — and then persuades them that, if they buy the product, they'll get what they want. In the Republican primary, Trump figured out what Republican voters wanted. And he persuaded enough of them that, if they chose him, they would get it. And in that sales pitch, Trump will have another advantage: He's selling something positive. Specifically, Trump is promising to "make America great again." Hillary Clinton is already responding by selling something negative: "Prevent President Trump." http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-candidate-2016-5 Hillary is worried about Trump. His unpredictability is a major factor. Edited May 5, 2016 by betsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillary isn't exactly smelling like roses either....since she's regarded as a crook, a liar, untrustworthy, and just in this for the money! Focus on the context now, Waldo. Pay attention. We're talking about poll ratings, remember? I was responding to what you said: waldo is Trump prepared to go up against the $1 billion Clinton war chest? Is he feeling... lucky? first poll out since Trump has been left standing: CNN/ORC poll (May 4th) => Clinton 54%, Trump 41%... be afraid Canadians, be very afraid! You even highlighted the numbers! (Boy....numbers again!) Stay on track, now. Are you with me? You agree with me that everybody mocked the Donald when he first announced his candidacy? I bet his poll ratings were so low at the starting gate. How many Donald clowns were featured on front pages? https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=donald+clown+face+new+york&ei=UTF-8&hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-004 Who's laughing now?

You speak of context - my post focused on the competing attacks (of yesterday) and a poll... with ratings, remember? you ask to focus on the context, you declare it as 'poll ratings'... you snidely reference numbers, and then you ignore all that and drop a link to 'Trump clown face'??? Wadda bout the context you thought to highlight? and yes, the New York Daily News regularly skewers Trump... this was yesterday's front page - the death of the GOP, killed by an epidemic of Trump - enjoy .

Well, silly me. And there I thought your focus was on the Donald.....with this statement: is Trump prepared to go up against the $1 billion Clinton war chest? Is he feeling... lucky? first poll out since Trump has been left standing: CNN/ORC poll (May 4th) => Clinton 54%, Trump 41%... be afraid Canadians, be very afraid! Anyway, what are you on about yesterday's "competing attacks?" What's new about yesterday? Hillary has been focusing ONLY ON TRUMP even when there were three amigos duking it out - like as if the other two didn't count! And Trump's been jabbing at Hillary. Nothing new there! Yesterday was the start of the campaign for the general election. Just as he started low at the start of the Republican race.....Trump starts low again. Nothing to get excited about yet with Hillary leading......let's wait and see. Btw, it's the DEMS STRATEGISTS that had said Trump is worrying for them. They'd rather debate with Cruz!

waldo Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Well, silly me. And there I thought your focus was on the Donald.....with this statement: yes - I will accept you are silly... since you want to beat on this; again, my post was 2-fold... you chose to declare its context/focus as singular - and you reinforce your disingenuous self by only quoting a portion of my post. On top of that you declared the context and then proceeded to reply with something that had no bearing on said context - well done! When you fabricate like this... does an Angel lose its wings? I note the fawning with your, "the Donald", reference! . Anyway, what are you on about yesterday's "competing attacks?" What's new about yesterday? Yesterday was the start of the campaign for the general election. "what's new about yesterday"? Really? Cruz suspended his campaign... I thought you would have known! You know, that attack from Trump was now officially from the presumptive Republican candidate since every other candidate has bailed. I thought you would have known. Yesterday's Trump attack holds that context... as does the Clinton campaign reply to it. I thought you would have known. Oh wait, you acknowledged yesterday as the start of the campaign for the general election... and yet you asked, "what's new about yesterday"! .

bush_cheney2004 Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 The rest of the world is worried about Trump. His unpredictability is a major factor. Then the 'rest of the world' only have themselves to blame....trying to influence an American election (like Trudeau and others have done with their criticisms) will only result in a defiant backlash that produces more votes for Donald Trump.

betsy Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) With our burgeoning deficit, here's something to take note: Trump mentioned Canada, lumped with other trading countries like China, South Korea, Japan, that will be scrutinized for trade deals. The news clip of that speech was featured on one of our news channel. I can't find it anywhere. He'll also get rid of NAFTA, or re-negotiate. For those who think we can now afford to ditch the USA, you need a head shake. Canadians worry a Trump presidency will jeopardize US trade relations To say that the two economies rely on each other would be an understatement. According to the US Census Bureau, Canada was responsible for 15.3% of foreign trade in January, second only to China (with 16.5%). The US is Canada’s most significant trading partner by a far more significant margin, with 10 times more imports and 20 times more exports in 2014 than its next greatest trading partner, China, according to Statistics Canada. “It’s by far and away our biggest trading partner,” confirmed Corinne Pohlmann, the senior vice-president of national affairs for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB). Of CFIB’s 109,000 privately owned member companies, a vast majority of which are small businesses, 50% import from and 25% export to the United States. “From a small- to medium-sized business perspective, it’s often the first place they dip into the trading pool, given that it speaks the same language, has a similar culture, and it’s a truck drive away rather than a ship or an airplane. It’s absolutely integral.” https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/mar/15/trump-impact-on-canada-us-trade-relations-nafta-republicans Edited May 7, 2016 by betsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abrogate NAFTA....no softwood lumber deal ! "It's not helpful when down in the States there are serious presidential candidates who are talking about building a wall between Canada and the United States. Trade barriers are just another kind of wall," Clark said in an interview with Chris Hall on CBC Radio's The House. "I'd remind Americans that America was never made great, and no American president is remembered as great, because he built walls. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/christy-clark-donald-trump-trade-1.3570958 Edited May 7, 2016 by bush_cheney2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
