    1. Who to believe? (Hint: none of the lying bastards)

      FFF says he showed the ad to Marx Carnage prior to posting it. He had to know that Carnage wasn’t going to take that laying down once that little factoid became public.

      Carnage says he told FFF not to run the ad, yet he is the one apologizing for it.

      ???

        1. Absolutely not. But one does not apologize for something one is allegedly not responsible for.

          This entire drama du jour reeks of male bovine feces. They’re both lying.

  1. In the call, did Trump explain how he was going to reduce the price of prescription pharmaceuticals in the US by 1000%?

  2. When it comes to politicians, it’s always safe to assume that they’re lying. In this case, neither Ford nor Carney are telling the entire truth. Like children, they are pointing fingers at each other after something in the house gets broken, stolen or damaged. Anyone else fondly remember when we had adults like Harper running the government.

      1. This is the kind of intelligent and sound opinions that keep people coming back here. Thanks for that well reasoned reply.

          1. Aye, the problem is not that you’re wanking and picking your nose at the same time, it’s that he is looking at the real world and thus failing to handle your “truth”. I’m willing to handle this “truth”, although I’ll need rubber gloves.

    1. Congratulations on the correct use of neither nor.

      I long for the days of Steve-o. At least I had money left over at the end of the month and my tax dollars didn’t go to support land rights for gay whales.

      1. You’re going to eventually have to come to the realization that Steven Harper was the one who got the ball rolling on your present situation.
        That doesn’t let your Liberal or NDP (or Green) parties off the hook with regards to responsibility, but your Conservatives were far from innocent.

    2. Fact – Harper was a big disappointment. Plus he let Blackface beat him in the election.

  3. Reagan imposed tariffs (*countervailing* tariffs, it is important to note) on 16 different countries. Any news outlet that ‘reports’ on this story without mentioning this very salient fact is effectively lying to you.

    Yes, he was a free trader. No he didn’t like tariffs…he just was forced into using them.

    1. Agreed. For example:
      In 1987 Regan imposed retaliatory tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber, following a U.S.–Canada trade dispute (eventually replaced by a bilateral agreement).

  4. I heard on the radio last night that Doug Ford ran a full Op/Ed article in Friday’s Washinton Post about
    how Canada was a world class country because the Blue Jays were going to win.
    That’s kinda middle school maturity IMO.

  5. ChatGPT chimes in:

    “So was the Ford ad misleading on this point?
    Yes — if it implied that Reagan was uniformly anti-tariff or never used them, that’s inaccurate.
    Reagan warned about overusing tariffs in his speeches but did impose them when he thought they served U.S. interests or supported fair-trade enforcement.”

    1. ““So was the Ford ad misleading on this point?
      Yes — if it implied that Reagan was uniformly anti-tariff or never used them, that’s inaccurate.”

      Worse than that, the ad was deliberately and deceptively edited to make it seem that way. THAT’S what the Americans were so upset by.

  6. Heh.
    Fat Ford and Marx Carnage.
    Does anyone remember Laurel and Hardy?.
    Yay for our Eastern Comrades,Chicken Dance.

  7. Saying “I’m sorry the President was upset by the add Doug Ford ran” is actually not an apology at all. It has the appearance of an apology but has no substance and casts blame on Ford and Trump. Carney takes no blame for anything, which is essential in an apology. And saying “I’m sorry you were offended” is blaming the victim.
