Australia and New Zealand! Cheers!

You are comparing the effect on a few hundred people who were blocking main thoroughfares for weeks to millions of people just living day to day. By that measure, what happened on January 6th was nearly equivalent to the Holocaust! Again, before anyone jumps on this...I'm indicating the lack of comparability...not that anything compares to the Holocaust. Cheers!

You don't tell your wife that do you? Cheers!

ALL vaccines! Not just Covid or mRNA vaccines. Only you would be happy about these diseases making a wide-spread comeback: Measles...check! Rubella...check! Polio...check! Mumps...check! Diphtheria...check! Chickenpox...check! Tetanus...check! Pertussis...check! Hep A...check! Hep B...check! Pneumonia...check! Meningitis...check! Rotavirus...check! And of course...influenza...check! What's worked for decades and decades, saved millions and millions of lives, saved enormous hospitalization costs...let's just chuck it all because we just don't trust science anymore! Even Trump secretly got his mRNA Covid vaccines while touting bleach, Ivermectin and the follies of vaccines! Cheers!

More illness, more death, more long-term costs...another great policy move by Florida! Cheers! https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/03/health/florida-vaccine-mandates

Because we're not doing such radical things like ignoring the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Cheers!

I've got 50% of my net worth tied to the U.S. I have immediate family in Texas, California, Chicago and Washington. I have close friends all over the U.S. The U.S. borders the city I live in. The tariffs affect the small, medium and large businesses my friends and families operate. U.S. policies have some effect on the company I run. I'd say it has a massive effect on me, my family, the people around me and my country! Cheers!

Yes, but they withdrew their capital later on so that they and Francis would avoid any conflict of interest, as he was still a VP of Fairfax at the time. I think when the hedge funds were attacking someone brought that subject up, and Francis resigned from Fairfax so that wasn't an issue any more. Yet today, shareholders would be ecstatic if he rejoined the company! Also in terms of returns, mutual funds have enormous restrictions that limit what he could do...such as low maximums on allocation, no use of derivatives or leverage, no investing in private enterprises, high expense ratios in Canada, etc. Now that he is running his own vehicle, you can see the types of returns he is capable of with far fewer limitations. Francis is simply an extraordinary investor...and as extraordinary a human being as well! Cheers!

This is just a foolhardy thing to say...it's not applicable to you, so you cannot have an opinion. Before the U.S. Constitution, there was the Magna Carta. In Canada, we have something very similar with the Constitutions Act and Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms. So we are well within the scope to critique the President's efforts to thwart or exceed what he is allowed to do constitutionally. Cheers!

You know, I cannot stand MTG even more than I cannot stand Trump! But I have to give her credit for standing by and supporting the Epstein victims today that were asking for ALL of the documents to be released. It wasn't political...she said "the hostile act isn't against the administration but against these women". As a massive Trump supporter, it was a very brave thing for her to do knowing that sentiment could turn on her for supporting these women and asking the administration to release all of the information. It's a reflection on the failure of past administrations as well if she manages to get Trump to release everything. Like I said in my previous post...at some point you have to stand for something and that's what is right...protecting the Constitution...ensuring the Bill of Rights...not letting the helpless fall through the cracks or be ignored! Cheers!

That's the thing! I don't think most people disagree with his policies (other than the specific attack on Science)...it's the way he's going about doing it. He's ignoring the Constitution, due process and human rights. At some point, achieving a specific agenda cannot exceed or contravene the Constitution and Bill of Rights! You have to stand for something, or you stand for nothing. If you don't defend the rights of the individual, the Constitution, freedom of speech, then you are betraying everything America stands for and was built on! Cheers!

LOL!!! I'm crying inside but pissing my pants laughing! Thanks for making my day! Cheers!

While I thoroughly enjoy a good Clint Eastwood movie, the Dirty Harry movies were relatively extreme even for when they were made, let alone today. The whole jugaboo/honky stereotypes...black felons who are stupid, white cops who go over the line...people should know better, but I guess they don't! Now All in the Family...that's a different story. Same stereotypes, but used in a way to show how everyone can be racist to a degree...black, white or otherwise! And we're still dealing with the same fucking issues they were facing back then! Again...America and progress! Cheers!

There's nothing wrong with DEI except that people with an extreme agenda pushed it too far. But at the same time, there's no reason to get rid of it altogether as well. It seems as though the U.S. for the last 25 years has been teetering between one extreme or another. No balance...just extremes! And now you have another extremist pushing the scales the other way again. Just back and forth! It's why I would love to just see a centrist, as I think the vast majority of people would. Cheers!

I've got lots of articles on Francis. Cheers!

I agree with you. I'm not sure you need to take down the tree...only trim some of the branches! Cheers! But the foul mouthed septic repairman is lining his pockets, the pockets of his children and everyone else within his sphere...how is that a meritocracy? Eric Trump is $600M richer today than yesterday. How the white man is suffering and being overlooked! Cheers! https://finance.yahoo.com/news/eric-trump-wealth-soars-600-174641154.html

I'm not judging his mandate, since I agree with some of it...I'm pointing out his misses with his own timeline. Others are definitely judging his mandate. If anything I'm judging his execution and how he's going about getting what he wants done. And I definitely don't like the guy...I think he's one of the biggest, narcissistic, assholes God ever created! In my opinion, he could blow things up as much as he could fix them...the guy is a fucking idiot! What was the timeline I said with LULU...12 months to 3 years. So naturally, it would be stupid for you to judge it based on 6-7 months. Cheers!

Getting started...of failure too? I hope not! Cheers!

Remember when black people had to sit at another counter in the restaurant, ride at the back of the bus, use a different washroom and were castrated if they were involved with a white woman? When women had to illegally get an abortion or have a baby even if it was due to incest or rape...when they were told to stay in the kitchen and not work outside the home? When gay and trans people were blackballed from work, dragged behind trucks on paved roads, and not allowed to love each other like straight people? Those were the days! Happy memories! Well we're half way back there! Keep up the good work! Cheers!

That's pretty much the revolving door of answers they give...right now it seems to be #3 and #11 used regularly! Cheers!

No, that would be absurd! But isn't that what you guys were doing for years before Trump got into office and then again when Biden replaced him? It's the pot calling the kettle black. Cheers!

He's closing in on 70...that's almost 50 years of information out there...what else is there to know? He's also too humble to write a book about himself, so I guess we may never know. Although, you could ask him if you go to the Fairfax AGM. He'll probably tell you a little about himself when he was a youngster. Cheers!

73 Reds, I'm sure you think that Trump's mandate is an exercise in creative destruction, but he's the one who set the timeline...first 100 days...the war will be over within days/weeks...money will be coming in hand over fist...etc. So, if people question his timeline and ratio of successes/failures, it's not their fault. Cheers!

I think most Presidents/Prime Ministers make an effort...but many run into partisan politics and don't have majority governments. Trump faced that problem like every other politician in his first term. Now in his second he has all the cards...that makes it a hell of a lot easier! The surprising thing is with all those advantages, including the Supreme Court, he still hasn't managed to achieve most of his mandate. As I mentioned in a post previously a couple of weeks ago, he's maybe accomplished 25% of the things he wanted and only to a modest degree...other than the southern border, none have been of equal success. And that was achieved by breaking almost every constitutional amendment dealing with the rights of individuals! Cheers!

It pretty much is one of Sri Lanka's most dominant conglomerates...has its hands in everything! Literally everything! Cheers!
