    2025 Federal Election - 28 Apr 25

    Their entire campaign is going to be Poilievre equals Trump despite Trump saying the opposite. Oh, and the statement that Trump feels a Liberal government would be better is not the endorsement people think it is. Trump feels it's better because it's going to be the weaker option. Narcissists...

    Or maybe don't set up a whole bureaucracy to take money away from me, only to give it back, and accomplish nothing program related in the end.

    Maybe he sees Poliviere as someone who can and will stand up to him. Narcissists don't like strong opponents.

    Does he mean the cruise ships that aren't US flagged owned by companies that aren't US domiciled. Exactly how does that work? https://www.cruisecritic.com/articles/who-owns-my-cruise-line-a-guide-to-cruise-line-parent-companies
