This is true. The Republican congress and senate woudn't fund the wall, but he effectively gave up on it when he signed the omnibus bill. Considering Trump's budget this year adds $984 billion to the US debt and up to $7 trillion over the next 10 years (I guess deficit spending isn't a bad thing...

That's his "big, beautiful" wall? He either lied about wanting to make a wall or failed to come through on his wall due to his laziness. Admit that much at least.

Unfortunately it appears that Trump's border wall dream has failed leading to his movement of National Guard troops to the border.... by signing the omnibus spending bill instead of vetoing the spending bill after Chief of Staff John Kelly told him he could not travel to Mar-a-Lago for the...

PMJT has as much to do with the cancellation of the EH 101 as Andrew Scheer has to do with the cancellation of the Avro Arrow. In this case, Trudeau did something that helped workers in London, On so why is that a negative thing?

John Stewart does a great job of showing the issue in the video attached. Hannity is just a terrible person. "You just want that person to give you your country back because you feel you're this country's rightful owners. There's only one problem with that: This country isn't yours. You don't...

or it was on purpose to see if you even looked. You're the one who went off on a rant without noticing what actually happened.

Tbh, I had to look it up too.

Modified for tone. You made an asinine comment that added nothing to any discussion so I docked points for trolling, which is how I viewed it. As for the rest - it's an Internet message board. No need to be so emotional. Just make better comments.

One interesting point worth discussion- why should the government be allowed to go against what the people want? It raises the question on whether or not there should be a referendum or plebiscite for every issue, which goes against our system of parliamentary government. In theory, the...

Another thought provoking, well thought out comment. If you have nothing to add just keep it to yourself. You dont like Trudeau. Got it.

Or he could just submit an ILP, get a degree and have it work out the same. Free university and no need to be an officer.

At a CMA population of 6.6 million people, Toronto, if alone, would be the 3rd largest province in the country and have more people than PEI, NS, NB, NL, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan combined. Toronto's GDP of $304 billion is larger than that of PEI, NS, NL, NB, and BC. There is a rational...

In terms of Toronto being it's own province, I dont disagree. I think that if we were going to "re-shape" Canada, there'd be a lot of realignment that could be made, such as the GTA being it's own province, the Atlantic provinces being combined into 1 province, etc, etc, etc.

I think it's that and I think it's convenient for both right and left ideologies to take the extreme examples to push their own agenda's. Take the right wing coverage of the Ben Shapiro at UC Berkeley event. In reality, the protest was similar in size if not smaller than Yianoppolous' but got...

That's the problem with the argument- it's based on stereotypes and opinion with little to no factual evidence to demonstrate that millenials need to harden up any more than baby boomers did. Are millenials to baby boomers as dirty hippies were to their forefathers? In reality, more than likely...

But he's not right, they weren't paid for, they were mortgaged at the expense of Gen X and millenials. As for the second half- I believe this started with Altair saying that to improve the base to pay for the baby boomers health people either had to have more children or we needed more...

For the 3 wars, I assume you mean WW1, WW2, and Korea. WW1 saw net debt rise $878 million, or roughly $12.18 billion in 2017 dollars. WW2 saw net debt rise $8.2 billion or $107.97 billion. From 1946 to 2000 net debt rose $560.44 billion, not including any adjustment for inflation ($571.74...

But it IS relevant though. Regardless of race (not sure why that matters...) the fact of the matter is that the welfare state created in the post WW2 era and maintained through the lifespan of the baby boomers is the key contributor to the current fiscal issues faced by Canada. This system spent...

Actually, in terms of debt and the older generation, the baby-boomer generation was where the welfare state was created. Programs from 1940 on, including the creation of unemployment insurance (1940), Old Age Security (52), Canada Pension Plan (65), and equalization. The prevailing fiscal...

The Liberal strategy is the past 10 years has been exactly this- out left the NDP to take votes from them and wait for the Conservatives to score own goals and push moderate/fiscal conservatives and more NDP/green voters into the Liberal camp. Possibly unfortunately for the Ontario PC party Doug...
