  1. Can you imagine Canadian voters having those stones? I kid, I kid, of course you can’t. SheepShithole.

    1. Nope. Cant imagine it. Canadian Conservative voters prefer their Pee-pees and blubber douggies.

    2. Perhaps Milei’s Argentina is a beacon of HOPE for Canada. A victory for individual Freedom, and government sanity that happened … because … things had gotten SO BAD for the vast majority of Argentinians that they had no choice but to return to sane, conservative, governance.

      I suspect Canada is on the precipice of the same idiotic socialist malaise as was Argentina. Perhaps starvation, freezing, and invasion by foreigners will finally WAKEY WAKEY up the Canadian electorate. Perhaps your fellow citizens will finally learn the lesson of Econ 101 … that there is NO Free Lunch. That each productive citizen’s lunch is being eaten by a dependent slob … by a green blob.

  2. So, how long did BBC scour the streets of Buenos Aires to find that truly representative couple?

    1. 41% of the popular vote in B.A. is more than what Canada’s #Libranos have gotten in this country’s center/left stronghold of Toronto, if it was the left with this electoral decision they’d be touting “landslide for the people” … as it is at this link they had to find some retired gov’t worker / police to complain of how pensions haven’t risen.

      “Our salaries are low, it remains the same, while other things are increasing. We still don’t see a change,” she added.
      Veronica, a retired police officer, has been hit by Milei’s pension cuts.
      “You see a lot of poverty,” she said. “It’s very hard: for retirees, for people with children with disabilities, for young people. There’s a lot of unemployment. Many factories have closed.”

      1. The operable question is WHY … and HOW … the Socialist nirvana had become so unsustainable that it took “chainsaw austerity” to survive as a nation. The socialist nirvana of every “disabled” citizen getting paid by their fellow citizen to “do their art” is unsustainable insanity.

    *I can’t see what you’ve linked to with “major gains” but it may be just me with a new OS here
    says: “conversation not found”

    There are a few elections in South America in the next year, Bolivia just elected their first non socialist in 2 decades and some optimism is due in the region. Canadians who are stuck on hating The President may want to look for warmer climates… my son Benjamin is moving to Paraguay in the next few weeks after having been in Mexico and Bali for the past 5 years. something about low cost electricity drives his boat…

    2. My apologies, Marc. The link was the one directly related to my Grok inquiry. But I exported it and replaced the existing one. I tested this new link in an incognito window and it worked, so should for you too!

      1. Oh it works now! thanks too. Good to see a link where the bias is kept to a minimum, and mostly good results from Grok.
        I’d point out the last line where it refers to the landslide as being “as Trump dubbed it” … I think most media outlets would refer to this gain as being a landslide if it was for their (mostly left of centre) side, and without referring to it as being “as Biden dubbed it” for example. I expect most AI to have this as well while it’s mostly a product of what’s been published somewhere already.

  4. Did Trump’s announcement of buying $40 billion worth of Argentine beef have anything to do with this?

    Are American ranchers happy with this?

    1. The President’s promise to purchase $20 Billion US of Argentine Pesos isn’t an actual purchase. It’s more of a line of credit. Even haters of liberty at Al Jazerra didn’t frame it any more than “credit” in the way of a currency exchange.
      When the dust settles and markets have calmed down on this, there’s a good chance the US will have made money. I haven’t seen any mention of $40 Billion US of Argentine beef shipments but seeing recent prices in Canada I wish it were at least a little bit true here. Some ranchers have expressed displeasure with the US increasing imports from Argentina from the current 2% … good to be able to complain when the market isn’t meeting your goals. Were you being sarcastic?

      1. Marc

        No I wasn’t being sarcastic. I was actually wondering what was going on. I appreciate your informative update.

        I did see that Trump said the US is going to buy more Argentinian beef, to bring down prices for consumers. He’s raising the quota on Argentine beef from 33 000 metric tons to 80,000 metric tons.

        I’m curious how American farmers feel about that.

        1. I’d read that US ranchers were pissed as it was reported in some media outlets and social media commentary that US funds were being used to prop up Argentina, and their beef market share would be diluted by this. While it appears difficult to argue with the ranchers opinions, I think that prices have risen quite a bit in the US beef market, or at least the US social media I’ve read seems to complain about this too, and the US beef herd is at its smallest level since 1951 (Grok cites this). So their market should be able to absorb this or prices wouldn’t be rising? I’ve seen Australian beef for sale in Canada, as I think it should be permitted to as well, especially while prices have risen due to herd size, and an additional couple of million people living here.

          In the media framing of this Argentine beef quota, I expect they’ll report it as being more than doubled, or an increase of 130% ? but never as being from 2% of the market, to 5% of the market.

    2. The never allowed uncooked beef from South America because of foot and mouth disease. We are hoping that isn’t changing.

  5. It’s beginning to look as though Milei might get enough time to show to the world that his grand experiment works to benefit of most folks.

    Other countries in the region would be encouraged to follow suit. Could be a global game changer.

  7. “The state is a criminal organization that lives off a coercive source of income called taxes. In reality, it is a large scale criminal organization, worse than the common thief

    Do the math: How many times does a common thief rob you in one year? …

    … The state steals from you every day, it steals from you all the time. Every time you spend something, the state is taking a part of that from you…”
