  1. Thanks Kate! A song with such an ”international flair” from a time when North America was the lighthouse of the world!
    I could still be that way, if we all wanted it bad enough.
    You made my day!! And thanks for all the work you do to make the world a better place!

  2. Bongo’s gotta make some moves. Incompetence is plaguing the cabinet. Morneau is out of his depth and has to go. Maybe right out the door. Brison is on the take with the east coast mafia. Enough time has passed to safely eject Harjit out of Defense and still claim victory.

    “Merkel’s Great Transformation”
    “Angela had a traditional party career, starting with membership of the Thälmann Pioneers (motto: Be ready), followed in 1969 by the Freie Deutsche Jugend (FDJ), the communist youth organization. No doubt Angela was gifted, diligent, and smart. She was the best in school. She won the Russian Olympiade national award in the Russian language in 1970 at the age of 16. It gave her the opportunity to travel to Moscow on the Zug Der Freundschaft (the Train for Friendship). Her excellent knowledge of Russian opened many doors.”

  4. The players that take a Knee during the National anthem MUST not be paid in US dollars… Perhaps paying them in Marxist Venezuela toilet paper would make the point. They have the same performance contracts that every media (on-Air) personality enjoys & they know they can be fired..Yes anyone may file a lawsuit, but a judgement will not happen before their career is over and they won’t be playing..
    The (so called) Sportscasters who claim to be experts are really old men who have grown breasts..and begin thinking they are football Mothers..
    The NFL could use a Time-out and suspend play for several years…I would be happy with MORE college football…Bama Tide 59-O
    JMHO

  5. Don’t forget that the former minister responsible for electoral reform, Maryam Monsef, is still in cabinet, but with a different portfolio. Not only was she a dim bulb in her original job, she told a few nose-stretchers about her early life.

  6. “fair share, which in Liberal policy circles apparently means a marginal rate of more than 50 per cent”
    Isn’t Trudeau talking double taxation of corporate earnings making it more than 75%?

  7. Indeed.
    When Merkel talks to vlad it’s in Russian. She understands him perfectly. I know he speakers German as well.
    I’ve never been comfortable with her. The east German upbringing, her youth associations. Has she ever renounced communism?

  8. Kate:
    In the name of good international relations between our two nations, could you do your Yank readers south of the border a huge favor today and let us know where we can stream some CFL games this afternoon. Ever repeats.
    Really. We could become fans. We’re pretty much done with the National Black Lives Matter Football League down here.
    Thanks.

  9. Let them keep going, the media is starting to turn against Bongo and Moron. Of course the Ceeb doesn’t count, that’s not media it’s a proganda arm of the corrupt LPC.
    The cognitive dissonance from Dopey and Mr McCain is astounding, mind you, Morneau defence of the policy is without much passion, this is being driven by the Clown Prince himself.
    This is a massive turning point for the Libs, they are losing the media. Even the media is listening to their friends and associates who ARE being impacted by this poorly schemed policy. I’m sure there many doctors reviewing their American options, and no doubt, lawyers affected by it, are making their voices heard. Especially when it comes to Libs, lawyers are thick as thieves in the Lib party (thick as thieves, hah!)

  10. I had high hopes for Merkel when I heard that her father was a Lutheran clergyman. However, it turned out that the church had been penetrated and compromised by the Stasi. For all we know, her father might have been an informant and collaborator and she could have been one as well.
    I suppose she could have fobbed it off under “rendering unto Caesar what is Caesar’s”.

  11. Nosestretchers that would have barred her from citizenship, let alone cabinet, were she not a Liberal.

  12. I guess there’s no money to put on a flashy display for the foreign visitors and drive them around in fancy limousines, right? So if we want our government to put on a good show, the middle class will have to pay for it through increased taxes, I suppose.
    So how come there’s always enough cash on hand to pay for PM Hairdo’s various joy rides and selfie tours?

  13. Re: Trucking delegates in a school bus.
    How unprofessional can a government get?? Ford, Chevy or Chrysler would have provided transportation free of charge for such a meeting, knowing that it was going to enhance trade in North America. And yet tomorrow that little hairball of a Trudeau will board the PM’s jet and burn up 15000 Imp. gallons of fuel to go and cut the pink ribbon for the grand opening of a new cage that will house the gay gorilla at the Calgary Zoo.

    60 Minutes and Oprah $$$$$ Winfrey decide that “America is divided” … so they fabricate a focus group of 12 people (reportedly 50-50 split between Trump and HER). This “division” in America is ALL because of President Trump. The implication being that America wasn’t “divided” during Obama’s reign … and 60 Minutes never felt the need to film a hand-picked “divided” focus group. Of course this is nothing but “political theatre” intended to BLAME Trump (and his merry band of deplorables) for “dividing” America.
    Last I checked … Trump voters are not kneeling through the National Anthem, or shouting-down anyone’s FREE SPEECH … none.
    60 Minutes might want to send Oprah on assignment to find a clue. Because she looked completely dull and surprised … so detached from the American reality that she cannot see from inside any number of her walled compounds. And she certainly hasn’t learned anything about REAL America from her Hollywooden pals.

    US to Plunder Afghanistan’s Mineral Riches
    On Thursday, Trump met with US-installed puppet president Ashraf Ghani, developing Afghan resources discussed, code language for plunder by US corporate predators.
    A White House statement said
    “(t)hey discussed economic development issues, including how American companies can help quickly develop Afghanistan’s rich rare earth mineral resources.”
    “They agreed that such initiatives would help American companies develop materials critical to national security while growing Afghanistan’s economy and creating new jobs in both countries, therefore defraying some of the costs of United States assistance as Afghans become more self-reliant.”
    Translation: Ghani agreed to let US corporate predators plunder his country, helping America’s economy, not Afghanistan’s, doing nothing to improve the lives of its people, exploiting them instead.
    If Ghani balks at any time, he’ll be removed and replaced by a more compliant puppet, the way imperialism works.

    North Korea describes Trump’s threat as ‘declaration of war’
    In an open letter to international leaders, a North Korean parliamentary committee has called for “sharp vigilance” with regards to the United States, saying recent remarks by US President Donald Trump at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) constituted a declaration of war against Pyongyang.
    North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong-ho also said that Pyongyang was considering a powerful nuclear weapon test in the Pacific Ocean in response to Trump’s threats.
    Speaking before the United Nations, Ri later said Pyongyang was ready for a preemptive nuclear attack if needed.

  18. I was just thinking about this. The problem in US politics is not Trump. It is that people are very divided in their views. The problem is exacerbated by the intolerance of the left. As a general rule, the left does not respect alternative views. A small example, I was reading a review of Hillary’s new book. The reviewer calls Trump a “reality clown” and later refers to him as the “tangerine” president. The left seems to think it is ok to be disrespectful, but they ignore that their comments insult the 40% or so of the population who voted for Trump. I don’t recall those on the right calling Obama “jug-ears” or similar (at least not in the media.) Many Trump voters were not happy with Obama for 8 years, but civil society demands that we accept the outcome of an election. The left is not prepared to do that.

  19. “Trump voters are not … shouting-down anyone’s FREE SPEECH”
    only 49% of Republicans think the religion of Islam should even be legal in the United States with 30% saying it shouldn’t be and 21% not sure. Among Trump voters there is almost even division with 38% thinking Islam should be allowed and 36% that it should not.
    Let that sink in for a moment. Many of the same social conservatives who believe Americans’ freedom of religion must be protected at all costs also believe that a faith tradition they don’t like should be illegal. When these Iowa Republicans view the Constitution, they see a First Amendment that exists for them, not those they find offensive.

    “US to Plunder Afghanistan’s Mineral Riches”
    I couldn’t tell. Were you being sarcastic? You need to be clearer. Are those your words or are you quoting?
    Everyone knows that “Global Research” is a far crazy left site don’t they? Don’t you?
    ‘Plunder’ and ‘Imperialism’. Loaded words.
    Better that Afghanistan stick with poppy growing and nomadic pastoral sheep grazing than to develop any of there natural resources. Right?

  21. Hitler said 2 + 2 = 4, therefore we shouldn’t believe that…
