The Red Star’s Editorial Board has taken to quoting song lyrics in their latest attempt to disparage U.S. President Donald Trump over his handling of the NAFTA trade negotiations:
“How do you solve a problem like Donald?
“How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
“How do you find the word that means Donald?
“A flibbertigibbet! A will-o’-the wisp! A clown!”
With deep apologies to the nuns who sang one of the most famous songs in the 1965 hit musical film, “The Sound of Music” by the team of Rodgers and Hammerstein about Maria, the unpredictable novice nun played by Julie Andrews, the sentiments felt by the older nuns about Maria must be exactly how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Canada’s trade negotiators feel these days about U.S. President Donald Trump.
Oddly enough, there’s absolutely no mention of the peculiar behaviour of Canada’s Clown Princess, Chrystia Freeland.
One wonders, if the NAFTA negotiations do end up being successfully concluded and there is absolutely no gender equality protection, will the TorStar admit that Trudeau and Freeland are mere children playing dressup with the American adults?!
Toronto Star has continually downsized until it is now has the equivalent voice of a classroom newsletter. Are we surprised with the maturity level? No.
What a load! I almost yakked on my shoes. Please don’t tell me it was written by an adult.
Please don’t tell me it was written by an adult.
Or someone playing with a full deck. The beatification of Prinz Dummkopf in that piece is absolutely nauseating.
“How do you solve a problem like Donald?”
Should be “How do you solve a problem like the Donald?” Somebody was snoozing during junior high English class when they studied meter in poetry.
Are you surprised the oppo media are out of sync? With everything. Why should their poor attempt at poetry be any different?
My thoughts exactly
Trump Derangement syndrome results in the victim exposing themselves for the corrupt fools they be.
America is eating our lunch and the fools and bandits who rule here are insulting the US President,while ignoring reality.
The Media Party of Canada is going down for the count,as they spiral in they insist they are flying true and level.
The media coverage of current international affair by these presstitutes is on par with their fawning coverage of national news..all the news we feel you are allowed to see.
It is apparent,as demonstrated by the treatment of Faith Goldie, that we citizens are not permitted to make up our own minds.Our “Masters” feel the need to tell us what we think,no need for facts and investigative journalism.
The rank double standards,bias,slander and lying by omission that is the new news normal, does not sell well.
They are running out of money and appear to to be rent seeking as permanent government shills.
The sheer childishness of these emotionally stunted “reporters” mocks the narrative they so love.
Will Trudeau have a chance of getting elected if Quebec goes to Bernier over immigration floods and the Ontario auto industry is decimated?
Maybe?
“Donald” is a PROBLEM SOLVER. And he’s already “solved” Canada’s biggest problem. By forging a very positive bi-lateral Trade Agreement with Mexico. Canada not needed.
Enjoy your decline. Obama MADE us enjoy ours.
Kenji: Obama and Trudeau along with Soros more illegals or thousands of Male migrants coming to Canada. The number crossing illegally between the legal ports of crossing is scary. Trudeau will change what is needed to voter I.D. is my thought, just to make it easy for all the legal and illegal border crossers to vote. We need a Donald Trump here in Canada. I do hope Canada can and will get a bi-lateral Trade Agreement Trump has offered his hand and Trudeau slapped it away…how stupid is Trudeau…pretty stupid is my thought. VOTE OUT THE LIE-BRALS IN 2019!! GO TRUMP GO!!
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Maria win bigly in the end?
I think she left the singing nuns and fascism behind.
Good for her, bad for the tone deaf.
Trudeau and his NDP are not older and wiser.
An inadvertent prophecy for Canada this is.
There’s no limit to duplicity and hypocrisy of the progressive elites and the contempt they have for the unwashed populists.
In Freeland’s interview with NY Times published during the G7 summit she warnings “about the perils to liberal democracy in this fraught era. “ She quotes Hitler as saying: “I will tell you what has carried me to the position I have reached. Our political problems appeared complicated. The German people could make nothing of them. … I, on the other hand … reduced them to the simplest terms. The masses realized this and followed me.”
Freehand goes on to say “How do you attract voters and public support compared with the flashiness of exciting, chaotic, fact-ignoring populism? The reason Hitler won was because all of the other politicians were giving complicated and difficult explanations about difficult things. Hitler just told people simple things that they wanted to hear.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/09/magazine/justin-trudeau-chrystia-freeland-trade-canada-us-.html
A few days after the NYT published the interview, Freeland was awarded her Diplomat of the Year Award.
By all appearance, the PMO and the PMO mouthpiece have taken a page out of Hitler’s play book.
Chrystia Freeland is the granddaughter of a henchman of Hitler, who by rights should have died in a Russian prison.
The outrage is not that Freeland is lecturing us about Hitler. The outrage is that she was ever born.
The Toronto Star will close down long before it has the chance to record how Freeland screeched “Heil Hitler” from the gallows.
**The reason Hitler won was because all of the other politicians were giving complicated and difficult explanations about difficult things. Hitler just told people simple things that they wanted to hear**
Things like “HOPE and CHANGE” perhaps?
It is odd that the CBC & Canadian so called experts don’t understand that Sept 1st was the deadline they missed, The Mexican/US deal was signed and subject to a 30 day (time-line) cooling off period before it MAY be considered in Congress (60 days), but Congress has had the pact including any changes since Sept 1… Canada was offered a special option to join the agreement during the Cooling off period… Freeland has the Document & has had it since Sept 1st …CBC IS LYING or they are butt stupid… After Oct 1st Canada needs it’s own 90day period before any agreement would/could become law in the USA… You are screwed
BTW: Trump has told Congress not to interfere with the US/Mexico trade package, or he will pull it & NAFTA.. If Canada is looking for Help in Congress… the Hill they all die on has been selected…. Trump is not a senile Sen. Grassley who sat while Brett was trashed by Vultures… YES Grassley could have held hearing in Private & then insisted on moving it to the Full Senate without recommendation, BUT Grassley & Sen. Feinstein are Evil twins…..makes one want to puke
The answer to the “problem” is to simply point out that Mexico has a trade deal with Trump America.
Where is Canada’s deal? The Trudeau regime is the problem.
The circus that the Kavanaugh nomination has become raises serious doubts in my mind that the US is anything other than a nation of petulent babies screeching and clawing at each other. I used to plug for American leadership and exceptionalism. No more. No global superpower tasked with leading the free world would ever let its justice system degenerate into such a groteaquerie of a spectacle. It is … undignified. America, you lose.
Bdsm: Brought to by the Obummer and DNC SWAMP members found Kavanaugh guilty before investigation and proof of evidence. It’s all about POLITICS and the trash the DemoRats can conjure UP!! It’s all about Roe v. Wade and abortion! The DemoRats want to control Supreme Court!! Trump is trying to make America Great again bring back jobs, lower their income taxes, hourly rate increases and putting more money in the pocket of Americans. To BAD Trudeau isn’t doing this for CANADIANS making Canada great again…jobs…lower income taxes for the middle income…stopping illegals from crossing the border….all Trudeau does is tell LIES. That is why they are named the LIE-BRALS!!!
the only reason the Toronto star is still in publication is because 90% of their papers are given away in malls and hotel lobby’s. the sooner the advertisers realize this only then will they abandon this red rag.
wally reaume: EXACTLY!!
And neither is the G&M:
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-the-resistance-to-donald-trump-is-not-what-you-think
What a misguided pile of nonsense. Forced myself to read it but felt ill by the end.
That was very bad. Unfortunately a certain number of Globe poster’s thought it was wonderful. Increasingly. I do not get people’s stupidity — not everyone, for sure a certain percentage of Globe readers.
What amazes me Linda is how many people, some supposedly intelligent!, midunderstand and underestimate Trump.
That tiresome column was part complete ignorance and part a wilful attempt by the author to paint a false picture of Trump.
BC: EXACTLY!! GO TRUMP GO!!!
Maria von Trapp, a REAL person who in another life would be an underground resistance fighter itching to
put a dagger in some SS nazi’s eye socket.
tranna star: heyo blokes: tick . . . . tick . . . . tick . . . . .
I cancelled an unfinished subscription with them waaaaay back before 2000 when they detailed the yellow substance caked in some pop star’s ear. repulsive. ‘oasis’ was the group. and I cited the exact page.
and another thing, given the back and forth going on, negotiating tactics etc, it is hypothetically possible if Canadistan hopes in hell to get ANY kind of trade deal it could mean the TURDoo HAS TO cave on dairy subsidies.
boo hoo hoo kaybeck eh?
hb: Trump wants to be able to sell some dairy products up in Canada. And doesn’t give a dame what we do with dairy Supply Management. Some dairy does cross now but not enough…so I guess we wait and see what the idiot Trudeau does. But we both know if dairy products do come across without dissolving supple management what will happen!! VOTE OUT THE LIE-BRALS IN 2019!! GO TRUMP GO…GO TRUMP GO!!!
