    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    Danielle Smith…what can I say? Just being Danielle Smith? Severely dislikes Doug Ford. But she sure cozies up to those who would invade us. https://www.nationalobserver.com/2025/03/11/news/alberta-premier-smith-prageru-fundraiser-ben-shapiro

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    Just imagine all of the many great minds and scientists being laid off in all the various government departments. What a windfall that could be if Canada made an effort to offer a home to some of the best of the best.

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    It’s a lot more than just math and mass, unless you’re talking about traditional battlefield operations. Afghanistan and Vietnam proved otherwise, and took a lot of American and coalition lives as a result. It all depends on how much of a military-against-military war it is as opposed to one...

    In which case my opinion of Harper has just gone up.

    The parallels with the 1930s are frightening.

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    Right now I don’t think it likely happen. But if Trump manages to convince enough Americans that we are the scum of the earth and he has replaced pretty much all of his top brass in the military with those who swear fealty to him, then it could and may happen. I’m convinced that he wants to...

    Looks as if King Charles is no longer in Trump’s good books. https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-privately-fuming-king-charles-124138908.html

    LPC leadership race - 2025

    I wonder why Trudeau never gave Leslie the Defence portfolio or any portfolio for that matter. Any scuttle but on their relationship?

    LPC leadership race - 2025

    I’m sure that if Chrétien had a job that required meeting the current President of the United States he would give him a nice heart-felt Shawinigan handshake.

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    I actually re-read your initial post several times before replying, knowing that you would probably take exception to what I said. Pretty much every member here admits that Trump lies and is a jerk. I’m not saying that you are a fan of his. And I’m definitely not a fan of Trudeau…or...

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    You’re right politicians in Canada have lied. from all parties—CPC, LPC, NDP, etc have lied. But I’ve never in my many days on this planet witnessed anything like what Trump is doing to subvert democracy. If you see Trump as a freedom fighter for the American people despite his lies, then...

    I’m sure Trump will do something with the stock market to help the poor guy out.

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    The mere fact that the question is even being considered at the highest circles suggests that the NATO alliance is in serious trouble. With America having been the free world’s “leader” for many decades, the lack of European and Canadian confidence due to Trump is surely something Putin is...

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    As always with Trump…lie, lie, lie…and each time saying it more outrageously and embellishing the lie more than the previous lie. Herr Goebbels and Roy Cohn taught Trump well. (I’m assuming everyone knows who Roy Cohn is.)

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    So far Canadians are stepping up and showing their patriotism like never before. My wife just came back from our neighborhood Loblaws store a few moments ago and she told me that products labelled as Canadian are flying off the shelves with many sections totally sold out. Hopefully, once the...

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    I’m finding all of this to be quite exciting news. Even if the greenhouses can’t provide year-round produce, it would be a huge benefit for Canada, both economically and in quality of life. I even read somewhere that greenhouses are being considered for the Far North for at least part of the year.

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    Now if only we can have more greenhouses to provide Canadians with year-round lettuce, tomatoes and other local produce that the Americans have traditionally supplied. Even before Trump started making his threats there has been a growing trend to buying locally-produced food. If a grower has a...
