I gladly would be one questioning JT's lack of experience pre-politics as well, it was abysmal.

With Canada under siege economically right now from the US and our need to diversity/reduce our economy to rely less on the US and be spread more evenly across the world, I think you just invertedly endorsed MC. Having a person with these international contacts and world wide business respect...

I'd reach out to my other European business contacts and ask them what should I expect. drinking/dinner possible out to a sauna (which means co-ed potentially and being naked) being 'German' in terms of being on time and not wasting their time proper way to address someone for the first time...

Interesting read from the CBC (?!) on the UK's attempt to plan to hit 3.5% and the current roadblocks to do so. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/defence-spending-canada-uk-nato-9.7266431 The spark that lit the fuse was the presentation of the U.K. defence investment plan, which was intended...

Thatcher would have told Trump to get stuffed.

Especially when he just came back from Ukraine.....

And I wouldn’t expect him to know how to act in a formal business meeting in Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa and parts of Europe. When he’s in his own depth and environment I’m sure he’s rock solid and someone you’d want in your corner.

I know and respect 1 MP - Mike Chong - and would support him if he held in check the religious segment of the current CPC, just like Carney has clamped down hard on the anti-oil side of the Liberal party. Mike was my MP at on time in the past and we have similar old PC contacts/friends from our...

It seems that the Grim Reaper has set his sights on some senior Republicans of late. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgj25j6nmeo One for certain and most likely a second Senator position has opened up. A chance for the Dems to pick up1 maybe 2 seats.

It was not. It simply the case that one is better connected around the world than other. Life experiences, in many different settings, in many different places makes a difference. Am I a completely different person today because I left my home city over 30yrs ago and have lived and worked in 4...

Let’s see. Carney knows Finland’s President from before when they both worked in international finance. Carney know France’s Macron from their time working for Goldman Sachs together Carney’s deputy when at the Bank of England was the guy who is the new economic advisor to the new UK PM. Carney...

There would be a lot less open doors around the world if PP was in power. I’d venture to guess that his Rolodex is no where near as business centric as Carney’s.

Did you hear him talk about the wages Electricians at the AI Data Centre in El Paso were making when he toured it? Unreal!!

Playing devils advocate - Trump over turns Michigan’s portion of ownership and ‘sells’ Moroun that portion of the bridge. Moroun is then allowed by Trump to impose a ‘special’ toll for vehicles entering and exiting the US. Moroun then declares the Ambassador Bridge as unsafe and closes it down.

Any cool French shark names?

Now it will come down to ‘the market’ and people making the choice to use or not use the old Ambassador bridge. I for one will not be using the Ambassador bridge ever going forward when visiting friends/family in the future in Michigan. I will use the tunnel, which is jointly owned by the city...

Not sure where this goes. Halifax - able to handle the upcoming growth or not? https://archive.ph/f8pod The citadel Canada’s defence spending boom has given Halifax a generational economic opportunity. But are its grand ambitions realistic?

It’s a bit ironic that get our nickers in a twist about what to name our warships so as to not offend anyone but yet these same warships are expected to kill and maim our enemies at will….. “Today HMCS Diversity successfully sank 2 Chinese frigates resulting in the complete loss of life of both...

True. Do you have a ‘keel laying’ ceremony for subs? Would we send people to Germany for each sub?

What he talks about is the exact same issue we have here.
