Maybe an XXL t shirt but still, the print would be very, very small. This will, however fit, and it’s a Frankish orig: No one cares.

I landed my wife with only a rudimentary understanding of vibrational physics. Had I been completely proficient, I could have ruled the world.

@Niagara Bill, perhaps cooler heads shall prevail and everyone will win. I’m still not certain why you feel provincial angst is Trump’s fault, or how your truckers having an issue with your govt started in thus side of the border, but maybe Carney can work it out with him.

Or, a bit of discipline at the state/federal govt level might reduce the burden on the tax payer.

How many thousands are you thinking? 2,000? 3,000? 12,000? And are you concerned generally about mandated expenses, or just the Trump tariff version? Because…I’m thinking a reduction on govt mandated tax would go along way to softening the blow. Income, sales, excise, etc…

I’m not looking to be argumentative, but the truckers were protesting their treatment by your government. The decisions made, and the question of a heavy-handed government prone to overreach is a Canada problem As for MAGA contributing to the cause, I’m not certain if that’s true or not, but it’s irrelevant. You mentioned your version of freedom v our version of freedom a couple posts up…I would think we would both agree that supporting causes that are important to you is a fundamental right in both our countries. Finally with respect to Alberta, oil/gas/minerals/lumber, if enough citizens in that province feel the government is working against them, it becomes a problem. It sounds to me that you’re concerned about Alberta because of oil/gas/minerals/lumber and maybe less concerned with regulations and overreach. That puts you at odds with them, not Trump or MAGA.

It’s incredible to me that the window between life and death was 15 seconds. Rationally, we know that many tragedies result from people doing/failing to do something in a very short period of time, but when you consider a collision between an airplane and helicopter it seems almost incomprehensible. Thanks for the continued feedback on this horrible tragedy.

“Alright….Thank you….ok.” from the interviewer at the end is hysterical.

Trump has been in office for 100 days. Your contention is one of your provinces looking to secede after a little over three months is a Trump issue? That doesn’t sound right.

You suggested “…provinces leaving…” as it relates to Trump. What did you mean by that?

With respect to Carney, he sounds like the pudgy little brother of the tough guy down the street, everyone calls him Stinky. He doesn't like being called Stinky, he wants to play with the big kids, he wants respect...but he's got to earn that. That is completely independent of whatever Trump says or does. He didn't suggest he was taking on Trump, he suggested he was taking on all Americans. To a certain extent, you present as if you have a little bit of an inferiority complex. What does Trump's rhetoric have to do with "provinces leaving"? With 'bowing'? If Canadians feel they are being treated unfairly, seek other means of redress. Hold the line. Find other trade partners. You've taken the important first step and elected a guy to lead you forward. All of this truly comes from the heart, without malice. I have great fondness for Canada and Canadians generally. You want things the way they were. The current admin feels it needs to change. If they can get together and work it out--which seems the most sensible thing to do, we all move on.

On this, we can agree.

On the other hand, perhaps the people in India will seize the moment, and this opportunity to improve the lives of its citizens. We know what happens in China, and the fact that you feel like they suck less than India doesn't mean it needs to be that way. Either way, you still get easy access to your lawyer porn, where "OVERRULED!" takes on a whole new meaning.

I don't do any of that, Bill, but I'm not an American (or Canadian) politician. I did fib about writing down Roundy's name on an old envelope, it was actually on the back of an old napkin with a water ring on it. Call your new boy up and tell him to stand down on the rhetoric about taking on "the Americans". That sounds quite ominous indeed. As for Amazon, they were evil before because, you know, billionaires and fair share. You gotta keep up, even with the language barrier between yours and mine. I reject the premise that he is trying to 'destroy the US and the world's economy'. That is all.

Sure, you're the only one who really understands things. As for declaring bankruptcy, geez, given the condition of our federal government, Trump's past experience with the court system probably makes him uniquely qualified to operate in a system where there's massive amount of money flowing in, but always an incessant need for more. Yet, here is is, trying to reduce waste and fraud and the wasters and fraudsters with their fingers in the pie are saying "Too Much! Too Soon!" and lots of democrat supporters struggle to understand why this makes an awful lot of sense.
