That's pretty funny! But in the grand scheme of things, this is almost irrelevant. Yet you let it fester as if it is the most important issue of the day. Cheers!

You've had these restructurings in the past...you've never left Canada in the dust...if anything Canada managed to keep up. Cheers!

https://sports.yahoo.com/raptors-senators-fans-boo-during-us-national-anthem-amid-president-donald-trumps-tariff-announcement-221535239.html Probably just the beginning. Cheers!

Tell me when Trump solves the southern border, economic malaise and inflation. The other stuff...transgender, drag queens, DEI...were minimal issues that he used to get votes. Let's see him solve the big problems with that big brain of his. I have a feeling he either fixes the problem or everything blows up! There's no middle ground with Trump or Elon! Cheers!

Hockey analogy...so for our friends south of the border, please don't get bored. But about 10 years ago, the Vancouver Canucks were stinking it up after making a run at the Stanley Cup a few years earlier. The team was in upheaval and out of the playoffs for a couple of years. Unfortunately, the owners weren't very patient and brought in John Tortorella to change things. Instead, the door fell completely off the hinges and total chaos ensued for the club. It took years...pretty much until last season...to right the ship. The lesson...owners brought in a coach to create accountability. Unfortunately it was the wrong coach and instead he created utter chaos and put the club back over 5 years from where it would have been. In other words...be careful what you wish for...accountability would be great, but chaos would be the last thing you want! Cheers!

For board members...the tariffs kick in Tuesday. I'll give you till midnight tonight PST to vent all you want and then this thread is locked. Food for thought...if a bully pushes far enough, unintended consequences may erupt. What if Canada, Denmark and the South American countries pulled out from any nuclear non-proliferation agreements. Remote, antagonistic and extremely improbable, but we've seen unlikely things happen many times. When you are dealing with a bully that initiates economic warfare, how far behind is military warfare if they don't get their way? Canada is one of the few countries in the world that has the capacity to have nuclear weapons but chose not to. Canada has all of the components except refining plutonium to build nuclear weapons. Think about all of the pushing from India that forced Pakistan to arm itself. Canada could have nuclear weapons within 2-4 years. Now that is the most militant extreme reaction over time...but there is an outlier chance it could happen and plunge the United States into action to prevent that from happening. Is that really the long-term outcome we want to see? Less than 10 years ago, it was unlikely we could imagine things getting this heated in the U.S./Canada relationship. I was wary of a Trump victory then, while most people didn't expect it. This time, I was even more fearful of a 2nd term. Now we're firing tariffs back at each other and one party is threatening to annex another sovereign nation. While I never expected a civil war, I certainly expected the possibility of domestic terrorism in the United States rising in the last decade. I still believe that political rhetoric is so extreme that nutjobs will do more stupid things going forward. Which is a very sad state of affairs! In almost all circumstances, I've found that negotiation and compromise usually leads to better outcomes then trying to obliterate one party which leads to continued retaliation between both. It is easy to let things escalate because emotions and fear run high. Hopefully cooler heads prevail and both parties return to the table! Anyway, you have till midnight and then I lock this garbage up. Cheers!

The U.S. position seems to be, we can't do it, so let's blame others. Which seems to be a hallmark of this President. When tragic crashes happen, he blames DEI initiatives. You seem to have about the same amount of humility and empathy. Cheers!

Same sort of morons who have hijacked the Republican and Democratic parties and think they are helping the country with their extreme agenda. You probably know some of them. Cheers!

So how come the U.S. doesn't just stop all of the guns heading into Canada? Easy to say..."why not do that then"...then actually doing it. You quoted the same right wing site.

You should write a country song..."I Shot My Neighbor When His Dog Killed My Chicken." Cheers!

You do know that there are right wing Canadians here who love Trump and everything about him, right? Even if it hurts Canada. Cheers!

Party of one...America...America...America? Party of one...America? Cheers!

Oh, my God! The only reason anyone around the world wants to talk to you is because Biden came in as President. I can't stand Hunter...should be in jail with no pardon...and I don't think Biden was fit for a 2nd term...but wholly shit do you really think Trump improved global relations with the U.S.? I mean that's probably one of the most out of touch observations I've ever seen in my life! Cheers!

Who the fuck are these two? A couple of right wing servants! Even the ITM Trading ad that sprouts up half way through tells the viewer to hedge their portfolios with gold through ITM. I mean they're just pandering to the crowd. Sam Cooper - https://www.thebureau.news/ Any mention of the half billion dollar seizure of drugs and chemicals in BC in November? https://bc-cb.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/ViewPage.action?siteNodeId=2082&languageId=1&contentId=85957 Yeah, there is a problem. Yeah, Canada could do better. But U.S. and Mexico borders are just as porous, even with all of the money they spend on the problem. Is the way to solve the problem by alienating your border countries, or working with them? And if they aren't moving fast enough, isn't it better to use small amounts of explosives, rather than nuking them? Cheers!

Pretty clear arrests have been going down dramatically because of better border security. Cheers!

The irony in the video, if you believe it (which you seem to do), is that it shows how Biden's administration has been decreasing the amount of immigrants coming in from the Mexican border since 2022 in massive amounts. But apparently, Biden made zero progress on that front according to Agent Orange! Cheers!

Hey, I fully agree we should be spending more and could do better. But the extreme reaction isn't going to get the desired outcome this time without consequences. It could have been handled with far more diplomacy and tact, but then we're dealing with someone who has almost no diplomacy skills whatsoever. Cheers!

Or you could just talk to your ally and work on increasing security. If your wife forgets to lock the front door a couple of times, are you going to ask for a divorce? The irrationality of the consequences is so extreme compared to the error. Cheers!

I fully agree with you...but at the same, no one wins in a divorce really. And this marriage has been going on for a long-time until Agent Orange decided he wanted to work on a fourth divorce! Cheers!

Go to hell! Cheers!

Just make sure it's Canadian Whiskey! Cheers!

LOL! Well, they too are going to get hit with tariffs, so they might become like El Salvador, Venezuela and Colombia! Cheers!

So what the hell does that have to do with Canada and punitive tariffs? If you've got a problem with Mexico, fuck up Mexico. Why make threats to Denmark and Greenland or issue punitive tariffs on Canada? If your son is misbehaving, are you gonna shit-kick your two other daughters because of his behavior? Cheers!

Not there isn't some Fentanyl coming from Canada, but it is minimal compared to the total sum entering the U.S. Most of it is coming from Mexico, or manufactured directly in the U.S. with smuggled in raw materials from China and Mexico. Here are two reports...one from U.S. Customs & Border Patrol and one from the DEA...nary a mention of Canada! In actuality, there is more Fentanyl getting into Canada via the U.S., then there is going the other way...as well as your fucking guns. But hey this all fake news isn't it? Cheers! https://www.cbp.gov/frontline/cbp-america-s-front-line-against-fentanyl https://www.dea.gov/sites/default/files/2024-05/NDTA_2024.pdf

We have to replace a large portion of our $450B in trade with the U.S. with other countries. Who are the largest consumers in the world right now outside of the U.S. and need Canadian resources and food? Do you think that's going to increase border security with the U.S.? Cheers!
