Niagara Bill

When, for all that is righteous, if trump has any compassion, when....will the penguins get their trade deal....

The world is laughing...

Ya know Roundy, I am a reasonable centrist, fiscal conservative, progressive to some degree. I have no issue with gay marriage, but don't talk to my child about transitioning, teach them math. Etc Sanctuary cities are 100% wrong, illegal immigration or migration is wrong but immigration is great. Spending by government is out of control IMHO. Yada yada. I say this to put the following in context. BUT, you must recognize that Muslims, Muslim nations around the world are at war with Christianity, and we are dumb enough not to see that. IMHO, called upon by this country to defend this country against a Muslim country or follow their Muslim teaching against Christians, a huge percentage will choose their religion and listen to their clerics. Christianity was used to help spread Europe around the world in 1497 and on. Muslim countries are now doing the same thing. The crusades ended in the 13th century for Christians, not for Muslims. There are only 4 countries in the world that are Muslim based that are democracies, more than 40 that are not. Sharia law is 100% opposite to democratic principles. Virtually every Muslim organization would want Sharia over our system. Just ask the direct question. So, there are many who have reason to have a bias against Muslim religions, because their leaders are bias against us. Still!

So we now know you are a bigot, who else do you hate,

Florida has nice weather, beaches and Disney, I would like them to join Canada. Peacefully as the 12th province. Texas has talked I dependence, is there a legal way for them to form their own country?

Well Quebec once held a vote...not sanctioned by the feds. No one knows where that might go. The difference is because of oil and gas, Alberta separatists get tons of money from rich and poor maga. Alberta is Canada Texas. They are a rich province, and their leaders are rebellious, but I do not understand the legal means. By why would the US need oil, djt says they don't need Canada.

But he did tell djt to stfu politely about 51. So the biggest purchaser and consumer of US products in the world started playing cards today with the great department store.

Nice quote, from a paid schill. You should find people to quote that are reliable. Try intellect like Kanye West, who is twice as smart as this nut job. What a joke! Bman...you be funny dude!

Only Lake Erie if they dont go over the center line.

So what exactly has a tariff in movies. The digital copy? The cost of production. Food vending costs. The salary of actors? Weinstiens hotel rooms? Only US based movie studios. Documentaries about the Grand Canyon, or docs about Iceland, or docs about the Sahara Desert. Can you film climbing Mt Everest? Anything filmed outside the 12 mile limit in the Pacific.

Oh boy, let's hire the Birdman and Burt Lancaster as designers.

Who built the pyramids, middle class friends of pharaoh, Yul Brenner perhaps, not Moses, oh my! Who fanned Moses with the big ostrich feathers? The Roman's, no, they couldn't have used slaves to build the colosium, did they? Why did the left remove Columbus statue, oh he used a couple of slaves apparently on his ship. Was Columbus not Italian? So how did the 13 colonies invent slavery? The only thing the left built was the idea of woke. And that is a failure

Or 5 Is Jan 6 a victory day?

Not trumps problem nor is he the cause, but he and his group are now firmly entrenched as a symbol and with $$$ support and visuals by meeting with leaders. With his 51 rhetoric he presents an option that for example Reagan would never present.

Not happy, just like buffalo man and his group, but over $100 000 in cash secretly deposited in amounts under $10,000 to avoid reporting is not $25 donation. Then trump meets with the leader, but no one else from Canada...hmmmm I recall how maga went wild when Sleepy Joes kid when he had meetings, etc etc. Look, trump builds the flames, we know that, just another of his diplomacy mistakes, or if not a mistake...then Putinist type proclamations. We shall see in the next month. It is Canadians jobs to deal with in family squabbles, in a free country, not for foreign interference...like maga accuses China of doing.

The inciting of the protest was started and paid for by the maga right which is why bank accounts were put on hold. What right does the US maga movement have in Canada. If the Jan 6th mob had been financed by Russia or even Canada, what would you be saying. They continue in Alberta plus there is already a movement in Alberta for being unique. Has been for years.

Maga gave money to create the truckers issue of 2022. The premier of Alberta has been with trump fir meetings. Alberta is our Texas and the main reason trump wants 51. Oil, gas, minerals, lumber.

Alberta, who trump has been courting

And I say this without malice. The current administration is succeeding to have the isolation they desire. There is nothing the once trustworthy USA couldn't gave without the threats to once friends. If Carney sounds like Stinky, which maybe he does, his knowledge and contacts from the central banks in 2 countries gives him powers that Trump is afraid of..bonds. We will hold the line, we will and are stopping purchases from the US as I said. We do not have a buy Canadian effort, it is buy anything except US. I also have great fondness of my US friends, Bills, Yankees, tailgate buddies, 37 yrs of working for a US company, in Canada, US and Europe and all my friends I have made thru work, plus I have special appreciation for Linda from Youngstown NY , Debbie from West Seneca, Donna from Niagara Falls (special mention to her husband which was unknown to me) Teri from Brentwood Tenn, and Sue from Richmond Indiana. Awe, great memories. Too bad trump destroys such relationships

What deal could he want with Canada, we have free trade, we have the same deal both ways, even on dairy. If he thinks that his GM, Ford are going to give up 12% of sales to move a couple of plants back to satisfy the UAW, he us mistaken. Long before Nafta the autopack was an agreement Canada had with the automakers. Build it or don't sell. Their choice. What he wants is access to oil, water, aluminum and the north sea passage. The US has never been denied access to the north route he just wants to be tough guy. You suggest Carney should be careful about his rhetoric, then trump should stop lying. Some in the world may bow to the new King, but not Canada. If he doesn't like our healthcare, tough poop. Freedom is freedom, not his version. Canada believes healthcare is a right. You believe carrying a gun into a restaurant is your right. Canada is about to go thru a troubled time, US pressure, finances, some Provinces considering leaving, all because of trump. Not logic, not need, just pure bs power. The sin is a historic relationship, best in the history of the modern world, has been destroyed by 1 man and his hoods. Picture, a town in Quebec and town in Vermont, doing what is financially right according to Doge principles, sharing a library and Kristi Neomi doing her little dance and laughing at both towns. They share firetrucks, garbage trucks, snowploughs, kids sports. Other towns also do the same. She acts more like a out of control Muslims in the square in Tehran than a representative of the beacon of freedom. Why would anyone respond in a positive manner to that bs.

What does fixing federal spending, Doge, cutting contributions to NATO, WHO, etc have to do with trying to destroy the US and the world's economy. Every government in the world has spent themselves into problems, but it is now the US intent to take everyone down so they can isolated. You don't have to destroy others to close your borders. It is easy to not subsidize Canada for 200b per year as he lies about. Stop buying. Stop buying oil, stop buying wood, stop buying power, stop buying Gas. Why this whole bs with tariffs. Per person, Canada buys $9600, US buys $2500. AS I watch lettuce, strawberries, tomatoes, rot on grocery shelfs now filled with product from Peru, Chile, Canada, France,, as furniture from North Carolina sits unsold, as auto sales drop, as airlines tickets sales drop, as fertilizer from Scott's sits piled unsold, I can assure you that the 9600 is dropping, without tariffs.

So you regularly screw with your best friend, back out on deals you agreed to, allow you family and staff to bad mouth your friend, grandstand like Kristi Nomi, threaten to destroy your friends lively hood. And do you tell lies to the world and your family about your friend. Diplomacy is certainly not his strong, nor is settling any disagreement. I see no progress that is benefiting the US citizens, and of course Amazon is now evil because their invoicing doesn't hide info from customers.

Not sure why Canada is scene to be influenced by CCP. Canada did trumps dirty work by detaining the Huawei executive for 2 years, at trumps request, which put Canada in the middle. Trump later dropped his interest and China detained 2 Canadians for 3 yrs. Canada refused Chinese electric vehicles. China stopped purchasing huge volumes of canola oil and now buys from Brazil. Canada stopped real-estate purchases from China. Canada expelled Chinese diplomats for election interference. IMHO, China is now more trust worthy than US today US was always beacon of freedom. US now is the beacon of money. Freedom how maga judges it only. Now France, England Canada, Australia, Germany are not proper freedom. That is a total joke. US now embraces dictators with ease. The left does want US and Canada to pay for building the greatest, free Countries on earth. Columbus used a few slaves on his ships...terrible. Egypt build pyramids with slaves, that is ok because they are not rich and successful. It goes on and on. Our open societies allowed the Trojan horses in, as did Europe. But trump has destroyed any opportunity for the freeworld to collectively deal with it. The US is no longer freedoms beacon. Power, money, threats, insults and retribution have already isolated the US from the world. Every citizen of Canada buys $9000 of goods and services per yr from US companies, US citizens buy $2500 of Canadian goods and services. If I were in charge, Mexico and Canada should shake hands with China, sign freetrade agreements with EU, and some SAmerican countries and Korea, India, Vietnam and totally allow US isolation. I would not offer to negotiate a new trade deal. I would give notice the Ford and GM that we will return to pre NAFTA, if you want to sell cars in Canada you will build that volume here, or goodbye. China and Europe will fill that void. Nobody needs a friend or neighbour who threatens you, laughs at you, insults you, steals from you and violates treaties they signed. There is no way anyone should view Kristi Noami, or the US government in a positive light for her photo op at the joint library on Vermont Quebec border, being a toughie. That was the final straw in the relationship, at the governmental level. That message was clear. Citizens friendships will continue, but our governments will never return to previous levels of trust. That may lead to more sinister events, but so be it. .

You are correct on what may happen. More European than American and I am sorry to say, a portion of the population has been made fearful of the right as a result of trump. People see Carney as more likely to drag them towards Europe, UK and even China. Every time trump says 51, votes change to the left. Citizens were fed up with taxes, regulations, Trudeau, immigration until 51 happened. I see that direction he is purposely interfering in our election, aligning with trumps real plan to take over Canada, militarily in 2026. Are there portions of Canada who may want to join, sure, like there are areas of US who may want to leave. On the other hand I prefer wine and Scotch, my good friend next door, is a beer drinker and his wife doesn't drink. He is a golfer, decent at it, I on the other hand do not like golf, prefer walking, soccer, baseball. He is Blue Jays, I am Yankees. We have been friends and neighbours 30 years. His car has never been in his garage, mine is always in my garage. We accept each other. I see know reason to challenge his life. He is a great guy, fair, generous, loyal. We share lawnmowers, snowblowers, even newspapers. I see know reason why the US and Canada, or Europe or UK can't be the same. I see know reason why Trump and his lap dog Vance feel necessary to publically berate others for their choices as if what is occurring now is god given. Why Trump thinks we should listen only to him, why he thinks he is the world's judge and chief executioner. If the US want to change, our our guest, if the US wants to change their style of government, so be it, if the US thinks that by going back to the 1970s type of society, just do it. Build your factories, tell your companies to come home, tell your unions they are invited in, if you want out of NATO, go, if you want to shutdown NORAD, do it. 1970 is behind us. Companies went to China, Korea, Vietnam, Mexico because the high cost of manufacturing, unions controlled the economy. But..not our concern. Canada may continue leaning left, not sure how that negatively affects the US. But it is trumps plan. You remember the Ottawa truckers protest, financed by the American right, the Jan 6th groups. Which is why bank accounts were ceased. This was the beginning of the ultra right from the US. Canadian citizens know this, so they often run from the far right. Which is the exact reason why I believe his military takeover of Canada is likely the reason. Russia gets Ukraine and Georgia, and maybe 1 or 2 others, China gets Taiwan, and Phillipines and 1 or 2 other, US gets Canada and Greenland.

And this guy's view is important?
