“It is vital that we give all Canadians, regardless of gender, the opportunity to fulfill the important function of falling on the grenade to protect me from allegations of corruption and pay to play,” said Trudeau.
 
“Because it’s 2019” he added.”

Because any idiot, save the current PM, understands that importing tonnes of steel, throwing a rivet on it and calling it Canadian, is about as slimy as it gets when it comes to trade. If that practice leads to the inability to make a tank, or an airplane, guess what? It’s a national security risk.

Asked why the Canadian steel industry poses a national security threat, Ross replied that Canada, on its own, doesn’t represent a threat.

He said the tariffs are designed to persuade allies to reduce the amount of Chinese steel that passes through their countries and then floods into the U.S.

The real problem for Canada is that we’ve spent thirty years touting this ‘advantage’ to every other trade bloc in the world. Trump isn’t stupid and he’s correct. What was, in good faith, agreed to in NAFTA isn’t what the reality is on the ground. What was supposed to be an integrated economy has turned into an international one-way door to flood the American market with crappy product. Buy any wheel rims lately? If you get the lower priced variants make sure you check that they are even round. Manufacturing parts? Way out of tolerance.

Canada has allowed this to happen to our friends. Is it any wonder the Americans are playing hard-ball now?

Zuckerberg Loses Contact Lens During Senate Hearing Revealing Horrifying Lizard Eye…

During his much-publicized appearance before a bipartisan Senate committee Tuesday, the false, humanlike contact lens Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg had placed over his left eye accidentally fell out, revealing the horrifying yellow lizard eye lying underneath.

 

“Senator, I don’t have that information with me right now,” the tech billionaire said for the seven hundredth time just before the incident. As he moved to take a drink of water to appear like a real human who thirsts, the faux human-eye lens fell out of his eye socket and the awful, piercing alien eyeball underneath quickly focused on the Senator questioning him.

Told you so.

WOLF!

It’s unlikely that the media are going to en-masse recognize their bias, but perhaps if the Trump campaign has taught the media anything, it’s to ratchet down the rhetoric so that words mean something again.

A man, who just two years ago was the poster boy for the far-Left media’s attacks against the U.S. government’s no-fly list for “unfairly” targeting Muslims, finds himself and several family members sitting in a Turkish prison — arrested earlier this month near the Turkey-Syria border as members of an ISIS cell.

The good and the bad.

A Superior Court judge has ruled that although Ottawa blogger Dr. Dawg was defamed on a conservative message board, the hurtful words fell within the bounds of fair comment in the rough and tumble blogosphere.

Good that heated and ill-thought rants aren’t necessarily defamation.
Bad that blog administrators are responsible for the comments.
Keep the bad in mind, please and thank you.
