    Yes, trump is a douchebag. That isn't news. Yes, I'm overjoyed that he is a loser one term president. But I don't hate him
    You on the other hand seem to hold a lot of hate.

    Keep making excuses for Trudeau. Ronald Regan called the Soviet Union (Russia) The Evil Empire. Trudeau says he has much respect for China. Reagan was largely responsible for the fall of the Soviet Union. Trudeau wants to do business with China. One is a leader. The other is a chump.

      If you are trying to suggest I am related to trump, you are wrong. He never came to Canada after he dodged the draft.

        Please point out in my post, above, where any excuses were being made. Or were you lying again?

          You said that Trudeau respects China because they are dangerous like a gun. That's a bald face lie. That's not what he said.

          Listen to a real leader call a dictatorships what they are. He wasn't some sissy homo leader. He was a REAL MAN. A real leader with courage. Not a pansy ass coward.

            By the way, I don't "respect" someone because they're "dangerous". No, fear is no reason to respect anyone. Call them what they are and try like hell to rid the world of them. I know Canadians have never had to do this. It's the USA that always does the heavy lifting.

            We can do without the China propaganda from Trudeau. If you aren't gonna help us, just stay out of the way. China is the new Evil Empire.

              I noticed you didn't post a video of donny boy calling out putin. Oh wait, that's because he has a crush on him. And wants to be him.
              What were you saying about "pansy ass coward". Hmmmmm. LOL!!!
              Now we're having fun.
              Uh oh, are you melting some more?

                You've been watching too much Canadian state controlled media. Trump called Putin out by name for backing Asad.


                Look, while Canada nor Trudeau has any influence on the national stage, we just ask that you stay out of our way. It will be the USA that has to deal with China or any of the other bad actors. Why make it harder for us?

                  PS. I think you meant to say "Look, while Canada nor Trudeau has any influence on the INTERNATIONAL stage" it really doesn't make any sense your way.

                      From vaccines to pipelines to clean water on reserves, why Canada can't seem to get anything done

                      Increasingly, this country can't even seem to manage things that should be easy






                      It’s no secret that we here at the National Post love Canada. We love ice-based sports. We love queuing for the bus. We love Constitutional Monarchy checked by an elected Parliament. We will even say that Terry Jacks’ Seasons in the Sun is a song not wholly without merit.


                      But we wouldn’t be the first to notice that, of late, Canada seems to be entering a bit of a slump. A 2019 Ipsos poll found that 52 per cent of Canadians believed our society was “broken.” By the end of 2020, a report by Edelman determined that nearly half of the country did not trust the government, private sector or non-profits. Our star is even fading among our friends; in 2018, Canada plummeted from its top spot on the Reputation Institute’s list of the world’s most reputable countries.


                      And now, thanks to a series of cock-ups on procuring COVID-19 vaccines, and tightening its borders to the virus and its infectious variants, Canada’s pandemic is set to last six months longer than virtually every other country of similar wealth and capability. We now rank around 40th place in the world in terms of percentage of the population given a single shot of the two approved vaccines.


                      COVID-19 has highlighted the fact that not only is Canada racking up new failures in the usual sore spots such as public health, but increasingly we can’t even seem to manage things that should be easy. We’re an energy superpower that can’t build a dam or a pipeline. A champion of reconciliation where Indigenous people are poisoned by their own drinking water. A self-proclaimed “honest broker” in world affairs that can’t get its phone calls returned by foreign leaders.


                      If it seems like Canada is embarrassingly unable to get anything done lately, here are some of the telltale signs.


                      Military procurement


                      You can thank 80 years of relative global peace for ensuring that Canada’s consistent failure to equip its military is usually just an embarrassment, and not a national tragedy. Our soldiers can’t go to shooting competitions without their World World Two-era pistols seizing up. The navy’s only resupply vessel is a hastily converted commercial ship that can’t enter war zones. The RCAF is so accustomed to flying planes that are decades past their service life that Canadian military contractors are now sought-after leaders in the niche realm of patching up antique airframes.


                      The reason for these failures are well-known: Fiscal neglect, understaffing, and politicians wholly unable to resist the temptation to meddle in military contracts. And this is definitely a bipartisan problem. Whether the government is Conservative, Liberal or some minority parliament mixture of the two, Ottawa is pretty committed to ensuring that the mere act of firing a Canadian Forces service pistol will slice off chunks off your hand.


                      Pandemic response
                      Going into this pandemic, it was widely assumed that Canada’s 2003 grappling with SARS would give it an upper hand. Instead, the opposite seems to have happened: Canada has failed to score even a moderate win during 11 months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our nursing homes deaths from the disease were the highest in the world. We’ve run up our pandemic debt faster than anyone. And we’ve become one of the deadliest countries for COVID-19 in the Pacific Rim.

                      Canada’s woes were much easier to take when the situation just across the border was consistently much worse. But now the tables have turned. While the United States is vaccinating 1.6 million people per day, delivery delays have meant that Canada has spent weeks with fewer than three per cent of its citizens having received even one dose of the vaccine. It’s impossible to know what course COVID-19 is going to take over the next 12 months, but it seems reasonable to assume that Canada’s policy failures on this file will end up having a direct toll in increased fatalities and sovereign debt.
                      Pipelines
                      We couldn’t build the controversial oil pipeline to northern B.C. Then we couldn’t build the pipeline that would have recycled a bunch of existing pipeline infrastructure to send oil east for domestic processing. Then we couldn’t build the oil pipeline that was basically an expansion of an existing pipeline that had existed uncontroversially for half a century. Then we couldn’t build a natural gas pipeline approved with unprecedented levels of Indigenous support. And now we can’t even build an oil pipeline that is already half-finished.

                        Now I know why Trudeau has so much respect for the communist government of China. Trudeau and Joe Biden have a lot in common.



















                        The newspaper said Trudeau was the top draw at the $1,500-a-ticket Liberal Party event, attended by insurance tycoon Shenglin Xian, the founder of Wealth One Bank of Canada and president of Toronto-based Shenglin Financial Group Inc., who was seeking final approval from federal bank regulators to operate a domestic bank here. It had received tentative approval the year before under the Conservative government. And in July, it received final approval.


                        Also among the donors, according to the Globe, was Zhang Bin, a wealthy Chinese businessman and political advisor to the Chinese government in Beijing. The newspaper said Zhang, along with a partner, donated $1 million to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation and the University of Montreal Faculty of Law weeks after the fundraiser.


                        Trudeau did not deny the report, and was unapologetic.
