He actually promised that in so many words? Do you have a cite for that? It sounds more like you're wishing this pain on us - like you can't wait. Of course any moment now we'll be treated to the usual donkey ass nonsense that Canadians wished it all on themselves by not voting Conservative. But you seem to forget we've tried that too so...

But you seem to forget we've tried that too so... How many tariffs did we get slapped on us when we had a conservative government? In fact was it not a conservative government that negotiated NAFTA in the first place and literally increased our trade with America by tenfold? Not to mention it was a conservative government that successfully negotiated the softwood lumber agreement We tried it and it worked. Our stupidity was going back to a left-wing government that is destroyed our country and left us literally crippled at a time when we face a significant threat. 1 Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data
eyeball Posted February 1 Report Posted February 1 (edited) 38 minutes ago, CdnFox said: In fact was it not a conservative government that negotiated NAFTA in the first place and literally increased our trade with America by tenfold? No. It only tripled it between America and Canada. It was between Mexico and Canada that trade increased tenfold. 38 minutes ago, CdnFox said: Not to mention it was a conservative government that successfully negotiated the softwood lumber agreement Right...everyone's paid that Danegeld ten times over. And of course they also negotiated the US Canada Salmon Treaty that decimated x 9 BC's fishing industry. Now watch as PP does squat this summer when the US tears up the Pacific Albacore Treaty, bars any Canadian boats from participating in the fishery within the US EEZ and allows as many US boats to cross the border into ours as they want. 38 minutes ago, CdnFox said: We tried it and it worked. Our stupidity was going back to a left-wing government that is destroyed our country and left us literally crippled at a time when we face a significant threat. And now we're going back to a Conservative government that's happily, passionately, always been there to kiss America's ass. That's all that ever works for you Quislings.

betsy Posted February 1 Author Report Posted February 1 (edited) I can understand folks reacting to these promises. Especially the tariff on us. Whether you agree with him or not, isn't the issue. Whether his staff agrees with him or not, isn't the issue. This thread simply catalogues the promises given by US President Trump during the election campaign, and the ones he has kept.

You're losing your perspective........going un-hinged. TDS does have that effect on the anti-Trumpers. This thread will feature the promises that he delivers. You should skedaddle out of this thread..........if it makes you go nuts. No one's forcing you to keep reading. I mean, it doesn't make sense for you to be slamming me simply for adding the tariff to the list. 😁 Edited February 1 by betsy Quote

No. 44 minutes ago, betsy said: I mean, it doesn't make sense for you to be slamming me simply for adding the tariff to the list. That you're tickled pink at the thought at him hurting us bad is obvious enough. What really doesn't make sense is why you feel slammed when your glee is pointed out.

BeaverFever Posted February 3 Report Posted February 3 What about his promise to release his tax returns? That’s almost 10 years old now And what about his promise to replace Obamacare with some kind of magical health insurance that covers everyone for everything and nobody has to pay for? What about his promise to end the Russian invasion without the first 24 hours of his second term? BTW in English nobody says “promises given” People MAKE promises, they don’t GIVE them. Quote
betsy Posted February 8 Author Report Posted February 8 Promises given, promises kept. Trump signs executive order to protect 2nd amendment Trump signed an executive order Friday afternoon aimed at protecting Second Amendment rights. The order directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to review violations on the right to bear arms that may have occurred during the Biden administration. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/live-updates/trump-second-term-live-updates/?id=118389757&entryId=118590429&cid=social_fb_abcn&fbclid=IwY2xjawITnepleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHXMjE_6zTQYupRl5eVaYXpAeJbxYCPVAqjqYfzzAhpMkr03uHxlyw0hhyw_aem_H223fbs7lgZoqNAvUAFlyg Quote
betsy Posted February 9 Author Report Posted February 9 Promises given, promises kept. EXECUTIVE ORDER February 6, 2025 Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias Section 1. Purpose and Policy. It is the policy of the United States, and the purpose of this order, to protect the religious freedoms of Americans and end the anti-Christian weaponization of government. The Founders established a Nation in which people were free to practice their faith without fear of discrimination or retaliation by their government. For that reason, the United States Constitution enshrines the fundamental right to religious liberty in the First Amendment. Federal laws like the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2000bb et seq.), further prohibit government interference with Americans’ rights to exercise their religion. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2000e et seq.), prohibits religious discrimination in employment while Federal hate-crime laws prohibit offenses committed due to religious animus. Yet the previous Administration engaged in an egregious pattern of targeting peaceful Christians, while ignoring violent, anti-Christian offenses. The Biden Department of Justice sought to squelch faith in the public square by bringing Federal criminal charges and obtaining in numerous cases multi-year prison sentences against nearly two dozen peaceful pro-life Christians for praying and demonstrating outside abortion facilities. Those convicted included a Catholic priest and 75-year-old grandmother, as well as an 87-year-old woman and a father of 11 children who were arrested 18 months after praying and singing hymns outside an abortion facility in Tennessee as a part of a politically motivated prosecution campaign by the Biden Administration. I rectified this injustice on January 23, 2025, by issuing pardons in these cases. At the same time, Catholic churches, charities, and pro-life centers sought justice for violence, theft, and arson perpetrated against them, which the Biden Department of Justice largely ignored. After more than 100 attacks, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning this violence and calling on the Biden Administration to enforce the law. Then, in 2023, a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) memorandum asserted that “radical-traditionalist” Catholics were domestic-terrorism threats and suggested infiltrating Catholic churches as “threat mitigation.” This later-retracted FBI memorandum cited as support evidence propaganda from highly partisan sources. The Biden Department of Education sought to repeal religious-liberty protections for faith-based organizations on college campuses. The Biden Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sought to force Christians to affirm radical transgender ideology against their faith. And the Biden Department of Health and Human Services sought to drive Christians who do not conform to certain beliefs on sexual orientation and gender identity out of the foster-care system. The Biden Administration declared March 31, 2024 — Easter Sunday — as “Transgender Day of Visibility.” In this atmosphere of anti-Christian government, hostility and vandalism against Christian churches and places of worship surged, with the number of such identified acts in 2023 exceeding by more than eight times the number from 2018. Catholic churches and institutions have been aggressively targeted with hundreds of acts of hostility, violence, and vandalism. My Administration will not tolerate anti-Christian weaponization of government or unlawful conduct targeting Christians. The law protects the freedom of Americans and groups of Americans to practice their faith in peace, and my Administration will enforce the law and protect these freedoms. My Administration will ensure that any unlawful and improper conduct, policies, or practices that target Christians are identified, terminated, and rectified. more.... https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/eradicating-anti-christian-bias/ 1 Quote
