I’m watching the Duffy/McMullen news conference.
What are an excellent demonstration on how not to handle a problem.
The shutdown lasted four hours before anybody from the federal government made a statement.
Both of them included some seriously gratuitous butt kissing for Donald Trump in their comments.
Please give Donald Trump $50 billion so you could have Thanksgiving with your family because we haven’t been able to get it even though we had a majority in the House and the Senate.

Texas, Kansas, South Carolina, North Carolina, Idaho, and on and on and on goes. I think MAGA hit a wall.

And… it was proven that you cannot buy an election! Yeah, you Elon!

You know, the original question was: why did the American voters vote so overwhelmingly for the Democratic Party and then it turned into a conversation about how much you hate Muslims and how bad they are for your country.
Maybe all the Muslims that has come to the US are gay and have come to escape the tyranny.
You mentioned that eight Muslims are being sent to Washington by the electorate; eight out of 435 House members and 100 Senate members?
Oh my God, that’s 1.5% of them! Run for the hills.

How can you just let American citizens vote the way they want and put these
Legally entitled people into power? That is absolutely absurd! Somebody needs to read the American Constitution and get this straightened out.

Maybe that’s why they moved to the U.S. and other Western countries.

I’m not sure why you feel that all Muslims would be OK with throwing gay people off buildings.

There was a man arrested for murder in the city I live in last week. He had red hair… beware of the redhead. It sure sounds simplistic, doesn’t it? One redheaded man murdered someone, therefore you can extrapolate from that that all redheaded men want to murder people?

More than half of your answer was a rant about how and why you hate Muslims.

Maybe there was such a big change in US politics because people are sick of the hatred, which is coming from the top. The lack of compassion by many in the Republican party may have contributed to the big change.

Trickle down hatred.

phart why do you think the American voters decided on such a big change?

Prepare for Clarence Thomas and Samuel Elito to resign from the Supreme Court immediately so that Trump can replace them with younger people before the new Congress sits. They are 78 and 76 years old, respectively.

Donald Trump blinks again on tariffs with Canada.

If you don't ask, the answer is always no.

So, if you were to ask open AI to circumvent security on your site and have them add 5,000 points to my profile, you would know whether or not all is well.
That's just the kind of guy I am, doing my best to keep everybody safe.

I'm glad there actually was a fix for it. I suppose it's only a matter of time until some hacker gets around that fix, and then a new fix has to be fixed until that fix gets unfixed and around and around we go.

I saw on the news last night that that was a huge problem worldwide.
In Canada, many government and bank websites were closed down to fix that problem.

I didn't know hillbillies went up to the northern border.

This is not even close to that. This is a whole different story.
Albertans voted about 75% in favour of staying in Canada.
Problem solved.

Donald Trump said last week that he wants all Canadians to interfere with the American election, so here I go.

If you're sick of his bullshit, but can't swallow the thought of voting for a Democrat, just stay home. Take the day off and relax. Don't vote for anyone!

With love, your neighbour.

I voted today.
Quebec tried this in 1995 and voted to stay in Canada.
Alberta can't just secede.
It's more complicated than you understand.

Poor Donnie had to fire his press secretary. She lasted half a Scaramucchi.

The American ambassador to Canada and others in the Trump administration have recently said that Canada should stay out of the US election and not interfere with it.

Let me assure you that if we had the power to interfere with the US election, Donald Trump would not be your current president!

What a fucking crybaby! So Canada makes nice with the EU and Donald Trump is pissed off for whatever reason this time and threatens tariffs on the EU and of course says that Canada has been a terrible trading partner. Huh?

Donald Trump is like the malicious ex-girlfriend or boyfriend that doesn't want you but doesn't want anyone else to have you either!!

Are there any Associate members of the European Union?
No there are not although the idea has been floated recently.

If Trump were to give orders to invade Canada or Greenland I'm pretty sure that those orders would not be obeyed.

I absolutely agree that Iran is a horrible regime but let's take note of the very obvious; they are out manoeuvring Donald Trump every single day.

On this, the 25th anniversary of 9/11, I want to make sure that everyone knows about "Operation Yellow Ribbon"
I wrote this blog story nine years ago and I don't doubt for a second that Canadians would react the same under similar circumstances today.
Please take a moment to read it and reflect on the historical relationship between Canada and the United States. Tom Brokaw also did a couple of excellent articles about the relationship between Canada and the US as well as operation yellow ribbon.

This is the only time that article 5 of the NATO constitution was instituted:
An armed attack on one NATO country is considered an attack upon them all.
That is how all 30 (at the time) NATO countries got involved in the Afghan war.

Donald Trump's "promises":

$1K savings check from expiring ACA subsidies… Didn't happen
$2K tariff dividend… Didn't happen
$5K DOGE dividend… Didn't happen

And now the latest one from yesterday:

$5K if GOP wins the House and Senate in the midterms… Won't happen.
Not only would these checks not be issued but there's no way the GOP will win both of the House and Senate.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I think you need to broaden your sources of news. If you only get your news from one place you will be unlikely to get the whole story. I heard what you said and I see how you feel but that is not the whole story.

The current CUSMA agreement has three signatures on the bottom. Do you know who signed on behalf of the United States after saying it was a great deal? Of course you do.

That's either very funny or very sarcastic.

What a coincidence, all of America's (former) allies are changing the name of America to Southern Canada!

Will somebody please tell Donald Trump to change the name of New Mexico to New America?

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It's an economic decision to import fishing rods and golf clubs, not a manufacturing issue.

If your goal is to make America stronger it's really hard to see how making your strongest economic partner weaker gets you there. In the case of the United States that actually self-defeating.

Of course I wore my purple Joe Boxers, a purple T-shirt

Jefferson Starship blew the other bands out of the water! They were amazing.

Hey Greenland, take a break from your Trump bullshit, Canada will do a shift for you! 🇨🇦 ❤️ 🇬🇱

Donald Trump will lose the war with Iraq because he didn't take the time to understand his adversary but Iran did.

... ditto with Canada. Donald Trump never spent any time speculating what Canada might do in response to his war. Prepare for yet another round of TACO.

"Who would have thought Canada would be part of the axis of evil along with China and Iran."

-Canadian reporter

Oh my goodness, Donald Trump said there would be tariffs coming to Canadian products that it didn't happen???? I'm shocked!

It always seems to me and everyone else in the world that whatever threats he utters never come to fruition.

It's like he always chickens out.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Any deal made by anyone with the Trump administration is not a stable deal. It is subject to change at the whim of Donald Trump.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

These firefighters probably flew directly over Washington state to British Columbia with their fires because of the fact that if they were in the US during their small amount of time off out of uniform they might fear getting picked up by ICE agents and end up in jail for doing something for the direct benefit of the American people.
The Canadian government is not "hunting" Mexicans.


As an aside, I saw on CTV news today at a recent pole indicated that 80% of Canadians "strongly agree" that we should send help to the US to help with an emergency situation if we could.

I know how you feel! Last year in Alberta, where I live, the forest fires were especially bad up north and the wind blew all the smoke south. Our air quality index was regularly at 10.

For a while last year on the Weather page on my phone it didn't say sunny or cloudy, it just said smoke!
