  1. I doubt bongo has any political capital he can expend with this bunch. They know he’s a see through one trick pony who relys on his good looks.
    Harper was not saddled with the weight of celebrity. He had to use policy and logic when dealing with foreign countries.
    Bongo should enlist Harper….I think he might be available.

  2. This exact same media story is copied word for word from many other news outlets. So much for journalism in this country. Trudeau, will, of course, feel threatened and behave even more bizarrely thinking he is in competition. Look to him to endorse anything that sounds catchy at the first opportunity.
    Canada, may not survive in it’s current state. The decay, within every conceivable metric, is happening so rapidly, it’s appalling. World economic rankings we;re dropping like a stone. On economic freedom, we’ve dropped out of the top 10 for the first time ever. Now, the Climate Accord kid is renegotiating NAFTA? Western separation is indeed, looking conceivable.

  3. Labrador and Newfoundland. Lower Churchill project. Quebec has been screwing the east coast just as bad as they have screwed the west for almost as long… Any separation talk east of Quebec? Let’s all just get out and leave Quebec holding the Canada bag by itself.

  4. If “Socks”,the Canadian PM, wants to HARDBALL MY President over the NAFTA reneg. … then I suggest America open-up a SUPERHIGHWAY running in a straight N-S line stretching from the Mexican border to the Canadian border, with big-beautiful walls on each side, and big-beautiful DOORS at each end. Then, Canada can enjoy being flooded with CHEAP Mexican-made goods, and workers to … “do the jobs that Canadians just won’t do”. I believe WE can ACCOMMODATE “Socks” with the globalist fantasy he envisions. And we will even help provide a FLEET of electric Tesla Big Rigs, self-driving their way along, the superhighway connecting Canada with Central America. Yep. lets give PM “socks” just what he wants.

  5. The hopelessness of ifs:
    If the Queen had a pair…..
    If the moon was actually made of cheese…
    If Saskatchewan would leave Confederation…
    If Hitler’s mother had only held her water and drowned the son-of-a-bitch…
    If pigs could fly….
    If liddle Juthtin & Co. were smart….

  6. “This exact same media story is copied word for word from many other news outlets.”
    The story was written by the Canadian Press, a newspaper wire agency that virtually every newspaper in Canada subscribes to. The CityNews Television stations across the country typically don’t have their own beat reporters to cover federal politics.

  7. Oh but they are.
    Socks and his brain trust just don’t think that it is
    Why?
    Because Trump said he liked what Trudeau was doing. The caveat being that what they heard and what they thought they heard are not mutually inclusive.
    Trump wants a better deal for the folks in the US, Justin is playing proxy for the Democrats, the media, the left, Hillary, and anyone else that wants to score political points against Trump.
    If the PM had been paying attention he’d know very well what the US wants from Canada….and it isn’t getting a selfie with juthtin.

  8. The Spawn playing hardball in trade negotiations is the biggest oxymoron imaginable. Canada would have to have a competitive advantage somewhere to even consider attempting to do so. Mexico has cheap labour and resources and a willingness to exploit those resources. That’s two more than Canada. In a US-Canadian trade war, the idiot Spawn would delight in destroying tens of thousands of US jobs ……at the cost of hundreds of thousands of Canadian jobs.
    Serious US thinkers are likely paying attention to Harper as a semi-detached voice of reason while ignoring the nasal platitudes of the Spawn and his entourage of pom pom waving media cheerleaders. They are likely worried about how hard to screw Canada for fear of developing permanent enemies north of the border.

  9. The Trumpster disarmed bongo by telling him he ‘liked’ him.
    Bongo has an overwhelming need to be loved/liked. He foolishly believes he can ‘win you over’ with the stength of his personality. Trump has him right where he wants him. Playing him like a banjo.

  10. “Canada can enjoy being flooded with CHEAP Mexican-made goods, and workers to … “do the jobs that Canadians just won’t do”.”
    It is no secret that the bulk of Ivanka Trump’s merchandise comes from China. But just which Chinese companies manufacture and export her handbags, shoes, and clothes is more secret than ever, an Associated Press investigation has found.
    In the months since she took her White House role, public information about the companies importing Ivanka Trump goods to the U.S. has become harder to find. Information that once routinely appeared in private trade tracking data has vanished, leaving the identities of companies involved in 90 percent of shipments unknown. Even less is known about her manufacturers. Trump’s brand, which is still owned by the first daughter and presidential adviser, declined to disclose the information.
    The deepening secrecy means it’s unclear who Ivanka Trump’s company is doing business within China, even as she and her husband, Jared Kushner, have emerged as important conduits for top Chinese officials in Washington. The lack of disclosure makes it difficult to understand whether foreign governments could use business ties with her brand to try to influence the White House — and whether her company stands to profit from foreign government subsidies that can destroy American jobs. Such questions are especially pronounced in China, where state-owned and state-subsidized companies dominate large swaths of commercial activity.

  11. If Junior’s ship of fools were smart, Bwahahahahahahahaha If they were smart they wouldn’t be a part of the ship of fools.

  12. If it is wrong to use Chinese labour (and have Chinese ties) then perhaps one might point a finger at the Trudeaus and everyone else who has excused this paper tiger from the beginning.
    On topic: Harper will sound articulate next to Sock-Boy. This could be very embarrassing for Trudeau’s handlers and any Canadian self-conscious enough to know how the Americans will view the tremendous idiocy north of them.

  13. Ship of fools? How about a whole fleet of them, with PM Thockth as the admiral?

  14. No kidding. Every word uttered and offhand conversation, best be carefully scripted and practiced … lest the sock puppet go all limp and wobbly. It IS going to be GREAT entertainment.

  15. I am pretty sure Harper recognizes that Trudeau is incompetent. I doubt he would be interested in providing advice to such a fool. Let Trudeau hang himself — the job is already half done.

  16. Meh. And yet I know exactly where my iPhone was made (and just about everything else on the store shelves). Thank you EPA! Thank you 35% corporate tax rate! Thank you inflated energy costs! For driving nearly ALL manufacturing into unregulated 3rd world hell holes. So Trump handbags were made in Japasia
    I fully expect that when Trump mucks out the swamp and restores business sanity to our country … the manufacturing sector will be repatriated to the USofA. Don’t you worry bout a thing …
    See dig, mama, uh, do ya understand that?
    (No)
    Well uh, like, I can understand how you can’t, because I’ve been uh,
    You know, Paris, Beirut, you know, I mean Iraq, Iran, “Ukraingia”, you know
    I speak very very um, fluent Spanish
    Ah, todo ‘sta bien, chévere, you understand that?
    (Chévere?)
    Chevere, bien chevere, is that right mama?
    ‘Cause I’ve got my shaky…

  17. If wishes were horses then beggars would ride.
    Wish in one hand, shit in the other. See which one gets filled first.
    It is a mistake to think that Zoolander cares about those below his station in life. He cares not a wit about Canada.
    If Zoolander cared about his own legacy he would have done more in his own life before he was drafted to be the LPC’s Culligan Man mascot.
    Zoolander did just fine before becoming a mascot and he’ll do just fine when Canada becomes Venezuela Norte.
