Dosnt matter how, its all about why.

And really what would you expect us to do, roll over and suck his C**K

Trumps an ass whole. And believe me when I say this won`t end well.

Further more as an ex Canadian I`d hope you`d be more understanding instead of making inflammatory remarks, "Maybe sell Crack?", really! Actually everything you say about this situation is inflammatory, so just stop. Your gullible and believe everything your leader tells you, even though deep down you probably know its not true. Thats true patriotism, USA style.

Its easy to see you have whole-heatedly bought all of Trumps lies. Sure he may be cleaning house at home, but his foreign policies are meant to harm other nations, who does that. An ass whole that`s who.

"I guess we'll soon see which country can do without the other country's exports best.....

Oil, gas, electricity, water, minerals, metal, strategic materials, we have it all and you guys need it. I guess we`ll see. At our current consumption we`ve got maybe a hundred yrs of oil reserves, you don`t, and on and on and on....

Then I figure the good ole USofA will do what it always does best, invade and take over. 

No one can argue that President Trump's #1 priority is the peace and prosperity of American citizens.  I'm not sure what Trudeau's priorities are but it appears that increasing his stature among the world's progressive elites and globalists is his #1 priority.

A recent CBC poll found 79% of Canadians viewed President Trump unfavourably.  That's understandable.  The same poll found the same percentage of Canadians viewed Elon Musk unfavourably.  That doesn't make a lick of sense because nothing Musk and DOGE is doing affects Canada in any way and you'd think someone who is cutting a bloated bureaucracy down to size would be viewed favourably, at least by the portion of Canadians that vote Conservative.

B.C. Premiere David Eby responded to the tariffs by removing liquor from "Republican" states from his province's liquor stores' shelves but will continue to sell from "Democrat" states.  That move is very telling and suggests that this less a U.S. - Canada tiff than it is a Left - Right tiff.  

Speaking of Left - Right comparisons it is very interesting to compare my old Leftist home - B.C. to my new Right wing home - Texas.  B.C.'s 2024 budget suffered a $9.1 Billion cad deficit and has forecast a 2025 budget deficit of $10.9 Billion cad.  Texas enjoyed a $32.7 Billion usd surplus in 2024 and has projected a $24 Billion usd surplus for 2025.  We're awash in money and last year Texas Governor Greg Abbott reduced property taxes by 40%.  Who in their right mind would vote against such good stewardship of the taxpayer's money?  Our sincere hope is that Trump will bring the same fiscally responsible attitude to our Federal government which is badly in need of change and thinning.  Please don't condemn individual Americans who quite reasonably vote their pocketbook.  

However I think his foreign policy could do with a bit more work, a bit more indepth knowledge of history and situations. 

Expecting to evict 2 million Palestinians from Gaza to make it a resort is just foolish. He may have said it as a joke, but it's unrealistic.  

Regarding the argument with Zelensky, I think it was a deliberate TV move to undermine Ukraine. These type of negotiations should not be part of TV entertainment, it should in private. Also,  you need to remember that Zelensky is not "mother tongue"English. So when in an conversation with Trump and Vance, he may come across as impolite or rude. It's not easy to argue convincingly in a second language. I know because I have lived in France for 30 years, but even though I am fluent, it can be difficult to find the  correct weight of expression and balance when in difficult fast moving conversations.

JD Vance's dig at freedom of speech in Europe was quite funny,  because you only have to read "Charlie Hebdo" to see how free it can be! We do have some issues with minorities trying to damage our freedom of speech, but that seems to be a global problem!

Ukraine will obviously have to give up some land, which is unfortunate but necessary to end the conflict.

But Trump seems to be a bit more pro Putin than expected and the Oval office incident has weakend the hand of the Ukrainians. Which is going to make the situation worse for them and possibly for Europe, if Putin decides to continue his expansion policies.

Potentially difficult times ahead.

i see he has set back the tarrifs on both mexico and canada , my guess is the threat and imminent implementation has inspired some conversations regarding what he wants done , i think they would go away if there was movement on his requests , i do think canada is in an awkward situation as tru-do is a lame duck and his past policy leads me to believe he would compromise canadas standing so the next leader has issues to deal with - sooner he is gone the better , 

as to mexico i fully expect there may be gunships over cartel compounds with our support soon , now that they are terrorists [they always have been] the gauntlet has finaly been thrown , i would not want to be them , if i were id be getting out of dodge 

So blowing up the cartels has to be the next best thing. Followed by better education for kid's.

It’s a much easier border to sneak drugs across.  The small amount of Fentanyl seized at the US/Canadian border was used to mock the President’s call for increased security.  But how much was stopped is not necessarily proportional to the overall throughput.  

I remember being in Buffalo IIRC for work a bunch of us "went out for dinner" one night. No-one thought to ask me if I had my passport with me because we went to a restaurant in In Niagara Falls, (Canadian side)

We weren't even stopped going INTO Canada.

Coming back into the US we were stopped. I just waved my green Card & in we went.

I was never asked!

That was a thing in France back in the day you registered at your hotel for starting & ending a stay. The cards were collected (& returned) every day, I always felt sorry for the Motard who collected & delivered mine every 24 hours as I was traveling for work & only did overnight stops.

or was it that the labor party just selected their candidate for replacement of tru-do ? 

      Ukraine has been a boondoggle since obammy. He allowed putin to annex Crimea. Under Trump 1 PUTIN DID NOTHING. Under the puppet briben his regime felt the need to cover up their money laundering in Ukraine. With cogs like Victoria Nuland drooling at the bit for a hot war in Ukraine , the globalists wanting it as well .  I watched senile joey get asked as russia built up in 2022 what he would do if russia attacked Ukraine..his fetid response was "depends on how much he takes". Just like FDR this puppet new that putin was going to march like the japanese did with pearl harbor. The global cabal wanted this hot war and joey was just the puppet to make it complete. DOGE has exposed the utter corruption of monies diverted to Ukraine via USAID and other agencies. And zelensky himself has said he did not get but half that amount...where did all that cash go ?. The woman in charge of USIAD from 2021 until Trump got back in office entered USAID with assets under $3 million. She left with more than $30 mil after three years...absolute corruption. 

     This war was totally avoidable. Remember under reagan Nato agreed not an inch eastward. Well that is a lie people like putin never forgot. All this talk before 2022 of ukraine joining NATO and briben more or less encouraging this  - they knew putin would op a gasket on this further betrayal by the west. Ukraine is a mess and militarily never had a chance against russia - putin has shown he is willing to grind even his own people into sausage to get his point across.... the west is not, never was in fact. 

      JD vanced absolutely nailed it on how europe is becoming less free. With so much of europe enacting "hate speech" laws with the definition controlled by those in power - literally locking up citizens in germany and UK for criticism of the govt schemes and deplorable state of immigration therein. Banning the AFD and limiting freedoms of afd members SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY ARE POLITICAL OPPO. That is very orewllian doings in europa. Even criticizing covid shots will get you in the klink there.... when your opinions are deemed enemies of the state and your speech decalred "hate speech" you will be fined , jailed and freedoms restricted , that's not freedom. 

I do too.  Carney was more or less appointed like kumswallah was when senile joey had to exit. you know canada has some serious issues when even great men like Jordan Peterson leaves to immigrate to the states. Jordan clearly wanted to stay Canadian but the woke and oppressive canadian govt gave him no choice to leave or continue to be stepped on by an oppressive govt. 

    I recently read  how Rebel news exposed how the canadian govt fined Amish people of Canada every time they came back into canada $6k each for not showing a govt vaccine chart - the Amish dont do that silliness. So in the back rooms the canadain govt used courts to adjudge fines that became liens on their properties via kanagroo courts that the Defendents were never made aware of until they tried to use their properties as collateral for loans on cattle etc and found out the canadian regime wanted it's pound of flesh yet still. 

It is not guns causing crime. It's the people wanting them intent on using them for crime that has increased and thus increasing crime. Immigration from third world areas has not helped citizenry of either Canada nor America. So little vetting , so many allowed across the border it defied logic. Under Trump that flow has stopped. Under the D brand party it was business as usual to even supplying SS numbers to these recent waves of illegals under briben. 

    The Canadian govt would have you believe it's guns that are the problem , hence it's authoritarian stance on ever more gun confiscation - dont buy into that bunk. It's an easy talking point for them to push like the apparatchiks did to the UK & Australia and are doing in Germany. Places liek Sweden  - traditionally super low on crime , and lower on gun crime ( because up until recently it had a homogenous society) has now seen epidemics like "grenade crime" as islamic types seek grenades to settle debts & spats. Illegal arms & explosives supplied to Ukraine turned up in Germany several times in the past few years. Dont buy into the gun control points of big brother - it's all bunk !. 

 Scott Bessent US secretary of the Treasury has done a couple interviews - all of them eye opening. He just did one with Tucker Carlson - worth the watch even if you only want him to explain the US posiiton on Tariffs alone. 

Every "local" arab country that allowed "palestinians" to thrive within their borders regretted it...they even tried to overthrow Jordan. Their reputation in the arab world is dirt. They are used as pawns against the jews by other sunni and even shia states. It's just the vile "teachings" of islam stopping peace. It's always all or nothing with their mindset of indoctrinated hate. 

On Ukraine - it has the reputation for being the most corrupt country in Europe. There is a solid reasons for that. Certain western politicos have been laundering cash through Ukraine for some time to include briben , his boy manchild and the whole briben clan. This war the globalists wanted and easily baited putin into is a distraction to their crimes and he!! , allows them to launder yet more cash !. Without some real "wunderwaffe" Ukraine never had a chance in this fight they were sadly and literally fed into. 

Totally agree. The business as usual in DC is over...the apparatchiks in the shadows fight this change and daylight as they are so used to getting their way and their filthy lucre. The media has always been a leftist bent agitprop for the D brand cult. Now so much more out in the open  - they cant help themselves now. Trump flipping the script on the DC press gang really rankled their greasy feathers !. The media is apoplectic seeing how Trump is letting actual mainstream real media into the daily pressers . The big lame stream biased media cant control the narrative 100% anymore and it just galls their thin skins. They never once threw shade on the disastrous economic policies of the puppet briben regime. And all they do now is bark sky is falling tales of economic woe like the good little marionettes of the left they are. These changes take time to bear fruit , and all they wanted was time to keep pushing the left's Keynesian garbage models ad nauseum , but now demand results like yesterday. their hypocrisy is grand and legion.  

I see the new Canadian PM announced that the relationship with The USA is now OVER, including defense pacts.

I'm kind of curious how he thinks that's going to end well for Canada?

So once again Canada has a new PM that wants to cancel yet another defence procurement contract, this time the F35 which is arguably one of the best 5th gen fighters out there.  Why?  He hates Trump.  That's some sound logic there.  

I find it telling that Carney had a meeting with Chairman XI right before he took the catbird seat in canadian govt. I do not get the impression he is "canada first" at all. It almost seems as though he sold out to china much the way the briben klan did in/to America. We see now Vietnam , and the EU are offering up zero tariff concessions..... is Carney going to be the hold out carnival barking madman on this ?. 

The problem is Hoadie is if we want our aerial warfighters to have the greatest chance of survival in today's environment we should want them to have the latest and greatest which is a 5th Gen fighter aircraft and since there are only three countries currently producing 5th Gen fighters our choices are limited.  They now talk of the "Combat Cloud" in which air forces will be operating.  The combat cloud is a mix of unmanned aerial aircraft and manned aircraft.  The F35 electronic systems allow a single F35 pilot to launch AMRAAMS from UCLASS (Unmanned Carrier-launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike) aircraft before a 3rd or 4th Gen fighter even knows they're there.  What an amazing advantage!  Further, consider that several countries are working on 6th Gen fighter aircraft, how far behind do you want the RCAF to be?
