  1. Canada Is Aggressively Attacking U.S. Trade, Farmers And Workers

    “While Canada’s businesses and citizens benefit from almost unfettered access to the United States, it limits our access through ‘made-in-Canada’ requirements, standards that generally can be met only by natural resources in Canada, and financial support available only to Canadians. Even its offer last week to rescind tariffs on U.S. automakers was conditioned on further investment in Canada. Canada looks out for Canada.”

    1. That article is selective horse shit. It named a few Canadian companies and how they abuse the poor American rubes. There are almost no Canadian owned industries in Canada and Canadians are a threat to no-one. Those nasty Canadian oil companies selling their products at bargain prices to the US, mostly American owned. Those forestry companies repeatedly found not guilty of subsidizing their exports by the WTO, probably half American owned. Then there are those nasty tariffs on agricultural products that have never, in history, been charged. Canadian auto industry, American owned. Canadian steel, American owned. Canadian aluminum, American owned. Canadian nickel, American owned. Canada does protect its culture industry but it is 90% American to start with. Canadian TV is mostly American programming which is certainly paid for.

        Most of my customers were in the USA, and that was in the 1980T’s, so I am fully aware of the ‘trade’ issuses, and you are clueless on that file, just as you are clueless on the Uke /Russo file. If you were smart, which you ain’t, you would STFU, until you learn what the phukk you are whining about.

        1. Which of my statements is not true? Your Jew hater nose is so wedged up Putin’s butt that you’ve lost contact with the real world.

  2. In the last couple of hours, North Korea has finally publicly confirmed that they did, indeed, send troops to fight on Russia’s behalf against Ukraine. It’s popping off in overseas media, but will likely be in tomorrow’s local news.

      So when will the brits, pohlacks, frogs, krauts, amerikans, canuks, lithuania, admit to their fighters in the Uke war?

    1. I thought the same, but after a little checking, “Dwayne Gretzky” is the name of the group.
      That was a pretty good cover! Normally, I’m not into live covers, but that was a pretty good performance. I’d hate to be one of the male background vocalists singing the chorus, though — Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

      –the REAL fc.

        I was actually thinking that it was better than the original.

    2. “Dwayne Gretzky is a 10-piece band that performs classic pop and rock hits from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s. They deliver electrifying renditions of over 800 songs with faithful precision and breathtaking energy, creating a nostalgic and unforgettable live music experience.”

      Never heard of them.

      1. gym… You’re absolutely the most hateful, spiteful miscreant of a human being that I have ever had the misfortune of coming across.
        Would you have said the same thing if Pritzker had an atheist background? And how do you know he practices Judaism faithfully? He may very well be an atheist, for all you know, with a Jewish heritage.
        Again, you are so blinded by your hatred of religion that you can’t see the distinction between those who sincerely practice their faith, and those who are of the faith in name only.

    1. Nearly 6 months after the election and the lefties are acting like Trump is an illegitimate president.

      Oh, but that’ll never happen Canada, will it? Uh-huh….. The PCs won the 1979 with a minority government but, thanks to PET and Ed Broadbent, the Liberals and NDP made sure that Joe Clarke couldn’t govern. In less than a year, the Liberals were back in office and Trudeau then proceeded to punish those regions that didn’t vote “correctly”.

    2. I’m telling ya, both Liberal and Democrat parties took close note of Canada’s Rat Pack.
      Ever since, with the assistance of a cooperative Media, trying to make the place look ungovernable is the automatic modus operandi of the Left(now really Left).
      And it works.
      Which means it’s time for all you blue haired Cons to get your freak on!

    1. Owned at least a couple Dyson vacuums. I can attest that Dyson did, in fact, embrace failure.

      1. My wife bought a Dyson. It worked great for about a week. Then the on/off switch broke. There is no repair service in Canada. We called Dyson. They sent a new vacuum and told us to put the old vacuum in the new box and send it back with the included label. Problem was, no label. No problem said Dyson. Just keep the old vacuum. But it’s broken. Then throw it out they said. A few weeks later the second Dyson broke. No more Dysons in this household. But the message is don’t let failure stop you.

        We gave the vacuum to my father who is quite handy repairing things. He took it apart and declared it unrepairable by design. The vacuum was designed not to come apart and you have to break parts to get at the ones that are broken. And you can’t get parts. The Chinese system in all its glory.

        1. “We gave the vacuum to my father who is quite handy repairing things. He took it apart and declared it unrepairable by design.

          I refused to buy one right from the time they came out, because they seemed to be 100% made of plastic but had a very high price tag anyway.

    2. The one Dyson vacuum that I remember “didn’t suck”, not a good thing for a vacuum cleaner…….

    3. If failure makes you a success, Canada will one day have a truly great government………..

  3. Trump went bankrupt what 4 or 5 times?
    So, does that make him stupid for losing billions or brilliant for becoming a billionaire 4 or 5 times?

    1. Smart.
      He didnt quit.
      He learned from the past.
      He got wealthier each time.
      Yes, successful. Only in a socialist mind and world is someone like Trump a failure!

    2. “Trump went bankrupt what 4 or 5 times?
      So, does that make him stupid for losing billions or brilliant for becoming a billionaire 4 or 5 times?”

      He used the system to his advantage. Seems to have worked out well for him.

      And Donald Trump himself has never personally declared bankruptcy …some of his companies have. Big difference.

  4. L – The Sherlock Holmes Award goes to Dr. David Martin. He summarizes the most sophisticated criminal conspiracy ever to defraud the public purses of countries, pre-protected by legal immunity to cover/distract from scrutiny.

    A plot? More like a cemetery full of plots! “Intending to kill to instil fear…”.
