Harper regularly went to professional sporting events (mostly hockey), he travelled to his son's volleyball games, made many personal trips to florida, new york, california, etc. There is no difference between these and Trudeau going skiing, or taking the family to see Bonhomme Carnival. They are not vacations, they are day/evening outings. Only a rabid partisan would consider them vacations in either case. Quote

Define regularly with supporting evidence..........how many vacations did Harper (or Martin, Chretien, etc etc) take within their first ~year as Prime Minister? Quote

I don't know, there are no left wing nutcases like Lilly/Levant running around tabulating every move of the Prime Minister. Probably because there are not a lot of left wing loons who lap up that trash. Quote

You didn't answer the question........you pegged yourself as an average income earner that goes on three "fly-away" vacations a year and that's fine (I assume you don't have kids and a mortgage, nor live in a larger city), but I would hazard a guess that average income earning Canadians, with kids and that live in a larger city don't......if someone living in Metro Vancouver or Toronto does manage but one trip (and has kids) its likely on credit. 38 minutes ago, ?Impact said: I don't know, there are no left wing nutcases like Lilly/Levant running around tabulating every move of the Prime Minister.

Regardless, I'll take your distraction as confirmation that your rant on Harper's numbers of vacations compared to Trudeau as baseless hyperbole. ------------- I'll leave it there, I have no idea what this tangent has to do with this thread.

Smallc Posted January 5, 2017 Report Posted January 5, 2017 My trips are on credit. Then you pay them off. That's how credit works. Quote

bush_cheney2004 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Posted January 6, 2017 Trump is now going after Toyota production in Mexico for import to the U.S. market. He is using the same threats that some Canadians make about U.S. corps producing autos in Ontario or face Yuuuuge tariffs on imports from the United States. http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/trump-tweet-toyota-tax-1.3922761 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Yes, it appears that NAFTA is dead. Time to put massive import duties on all American goods, and focus on Europe. Since the California aquifer is dried up, we will need to get our fresh produce from Spain instead. That new port in Sydney is looking better all the time. Quote
