How Are Those Elbows Holding Up?

Unexpectedly!

Canada’s economy shrank much more than expected in the second quarter as U.S. tariffs squeezed exports, but higher household and government spending softened the blow somewhat, Statistics Canada said on Friday.

The GDP for the quarter that ended June 30 slowed by 1.6 per cent on an annualized basis, while first-quarter growth was downwardly revised to two per cent, the data agency said.s.

Eric Daugherty: United States GDP for Q2? +3.3%. Higher than expected. Maybe Canada should stop trying to go to economic war with President Trump.

TDS is Real

Jill Ciminillo lives in Chicago and talks & writes about cars. She also hates Donald Trump. – h/t Lupus solus

Her arm was broken by carjackers and she still adamantly doesn’t want any help for her city. One has to wonder how worse the harm could get to her or her friends before she would shed her Radical Left Woke views? For example, if a girlfriend of hers was raped, and the poor woman exclaimed, “Something needs to be done about all of this crime!”, would Dear Jill be in the hospital room screaming at her, “You Far Right Fascist Bigot, I never dreamed you would become a Trump loving RACIST!” ???

Would You Accept a Non-Citizen Arresting You in Your Own Country?

If that question seems insane, welcome to Old Orchard, Maine:

A Maine reserve police officer arrested by ICE for allegedly trying to buy a firearm illegally has agreed to leave the country, the agency said.

Jon Luke Evans, a reserve officer with the Old Orchard Beach Police Department, and a Jamaican national, was arrested on July 25 with help from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), according to ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO).

Evans was taken into custody after a firearm purchase attempt raised concerns tied to his immigration status.

U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra’s Thoughts on Canada

Jasmin Laine interviews Pete Hoekstra. The elbows up crowd are incapable of listening to what he has to say. Hopefully you’re different.

About 21 minutes in, Hoekstra politely explains that Canada is not special. Canadians may think they’re more important than everyone else in the world, but they’re merely one nation of many that the Trump Administration are now negotiating with.

IMO most Canadians have severe TDS. This a result of the anti-Trump / anti-American propaganda of the bought-and-paid-for legacy media, plus their own ignorance and arrogance. Throw into the mix an unhealthy dose of PVS (Permanent Victim Syndrome) and it is no surprise that Canadians think the way they do. I equate the Elbows Up Canadians to a diva that walks into a coffee shop or spa and treats everyone working there like third-class humans. Then they go around telling all of their friends what open minded, generous, kind people they are. Denial is much more than just a River in Egypt.
