  2. Contrary to your "expert," I think Trump and Pierre would actually get along quite well and have a very harmonious and productive relationship. They are of like mind on most things and while I don't expect that Pierre would or even could fix all of Trudeau's disasters right off the bat, he would at least acknowledge that there are problems and would demonstrate a willingness and an eagerness to find solutions to them and I believe Trump would cut him a lot of slack for that approach. Trump clearly does NOT like or respect Trudeau. He's well aware of Trudeau's attitude towards him and the things he's said about him. He knows he's dead man walking at this point and as a result, is unlikely to engage in any serious discussions with him. Pierre, with a fresh mandate and a fresh and eager team, would find a much more receptive partner. But then, what do I know? I'm not an expert.

  3. This is consistent with how the Liberal party always acts. I remember 25 years ago, they shut down the Somalia inquiry just when it was about to uncover some very inconvenient truths.

  4. They'll blame Poilievre.

  5. Arson.... betcha anything.

  6. "What to expect if Trudeau resigns........." Parades, marching bands, ticker tape, partying, dancing, singing, fireworks, honking horns, high fives, an explosion of national euphoria and general merry making, likely a bit of over consumption and the morning afters that come with it and perhaps even a new baby boom.

  7. I actually flew on that old plane a few times. You'd be amazed at how spartan it actually was. I was serving in the military and posted in the Middle East in the 90s during Chretien's time when he refused to use it. So the Air Force just used it for general cargo and personnel on short hops. We often got our mail and other deliveries on that plane. Chretien refusing to use it was purely symbolic and, as it turned out, rather stupid since flying him around on other aircraft actually ended up costing more.

  8.  @JimEatsPlants  Great. So a collision happens, 15 people (and counting) are dead and magically it's "nobody's fault" because.... society failed. How convenient. I'll bet the semi driver at the Humboldt bus crash is wondering why it wasn't society's fault then.

  9. David Eby's BC. Justin Trudeau's Canada.

  14. I'd still boycott the school and not ever set foot inside of it. This was very clearly meant as an insult to veterans as well as serving members and it was only reversed under very heavy pressure. And while the decision may have been reversed, the sentiment behind it has only hardened. This "principle" and his staff have shown the world what and who they truly are and no amount of fake, scripted and coerced apologizing will ever change that.

  15.  @mojopopo  It might be easy to do but not for people like this and even so, due diligence will catch it 99% of the time. True enough, there's a lot more work involved in being a landlord; or at least one who is not looking to get scammed, but that's just the way it is. You do what needs to be done or you find yourself in a mess like this.

  16. "..... from his revolting caucus......." Don't think Pierre realized it but he actually scored two hits with that one shot.

  17. If you cut out the executives, who is supposed to run things? And do you expect them to do it for minimal salary?

  18. Public servants are never at fault and never held accountable.

  20. Trudeau will find a way to blame Poilievre for this.

  21. Nothing unusual about this at all; anywhere in Alberta. Drove through a mini blizzard on the #2 in Red Deer once in late July. A few days later, it was 27.

  22. SO COOL!! Loved that show! Loved that boat. Would love to know more about it, like what it had for power and how a jet boat works.

  24. 1) Leave, which establishes compliance with the vacate order, 2) Go somewhere else for 48 hours, 3) Come right back again and restart the process. 4) Repeat as necessary.

  27. "Cute little bunnies......" Ya; say that when they start tearing your lawn and garden to pieces and burrowing under your foundations. See how "cute" you think they are then when they start costing you a fortune.

  29. He won't go. He should, but he won't. He still believes in his heart that "real" Canadians love him as much as he loves himself and like any malignant narcissist, he's convinced that his vision and his mission are divine and that Canada simply would not, could not, survive without him. He's got his cult so whipped up and intoxicated with this rhetoric about the Conservatives being fascists that he believes he's the only thing standing between life and death for the country.

  30. I just had to pick this year to move from Alberta to PEI, didn't I?

  31. Ahh, no problem. Vancouver's a good lefty, union supporting city. They'll suck it up to support their brothers and sisters.

  32. Oh, stop!! Give it up with the cheap theatrics, will ya? The government is NOT going to fall and you know it! Jaggy doesn't have his pension yet.

  33.  @svenhodaka9145  Yeah, that's what I'm seeing. This story got me to digging around on You Tube to see what I could find out about jet boats and they're pretty amazing. I've often wondered what engine was in Relic's boat. It seemed pretty fast on TV so I was thinking V8 of some sort but then I saw a few videos of boats that only had 4 cyl power and they looked just as fast. That 5.7 Kodiac you mentioned... Would I be right in thinking that's a rebranded Chevy V8? I ask because Chevy supplied a lot of engines for marine use and often under different brand names.

  34. I can see a pretty hefty lawsuit arising out of this too.

  35. Background checks, references, ID checks, leases, damage deposits, usual stuff....... Just sayin'. Take the time, do the work and exercise the due diligence or this is the result. It's obvious the "authorities" aren't going to do dick to help you so you have to protect yourself.

  36. Justin Trudeau's Canada. Actually, I would like to see every business do this or lock their doors altogether and bring trade and commerce in this country to a grinding, screeching halt and keep it that way. It's pretty clear that dictators like Trudeau and his underling Eby only respond to force so it's time to show them force and just who the hell is boss around here!

  37.  @AmbientMusicStudio  True. Hard way to learn a lesson but I'd say he's learned it, though.

  38. No problem! We must all trust in Justin. He has a costume... um, I mean a plan... to get us out of this mess. He plans to blame Harper and wave a pride flag.
    2
  39. Hey..... It's even worse than you think. Trudeau has no intention of even spending the paltry amount he promised. He only made that promise to get the rest of NATO off his back for that last meeting. It's all a smokescreen. There will be NO subs, there will be NO 2%. There will only be excuses, finger pointing and bafflegab. Same as always.

  40. He's right. No consequences for Air Liberal and their No-Longer-West-jet partners in crime are no better. They're untouchable and they know it.

  41. Looks like a building materials fire. Roofing tar, perhaps?

  42. No consequences.... it will happen again. The driver was told / directed / pressured to do this. There's no way he would do it on his own. What would be in it for him? This case is an example of why you never, EVER, approach the company directly. You lawyer up, go public and threaten legal action.

  43. Quite true. It's a pain in the butt to deal with when it's happening but it's necessary all the same.

  46. A clear and present danger to be sure. I mean there had to have been what, 20 people there? Dear God, whatever will we do?? As for the grunion in the camper who's evidently shot to the top of the national security threat list, Oh yeah, gotta stop at nothing to bring her down. LOL; I never f*cking heard tell of her before!

  48. These individuals are the ones who'll soon graduate and start working their ways into out institutions of state and other positions of power and influence. Face it, we're f*cked.

  49. It's not what you're doing, it's how you're doing it. What is it with this government that they cannot accept dissent or criticism? The court isn't telling you you can't fight plastic pollution. It's saying your law is flawed. Go back and fix your damned law!

  50. These are the cars Justin wants to force us all into.

  51. It's not much wonder there's such a goddam climate panic infused into our psyches when the media makes a totally normal weather event seem like an emergency. I've been in Edmonton now going on 25 years and today's weather is noticeable but still on the low side of what I've witnessed over my time here. For the love of God, calm the f*ck down! It's Edmonton, it's February and it's >30cm. This is a f*cking snow day, NOT a news story! Quit making every little thing into an emergency and trying to whip up a panic over nothing.

  52. The NDP are reportedly furious about this matter and have apparently threatened to keep propping up the Liberals unless this minister is kept in his position.

  53. "What lies ahead for Trudeau's political career?" The end of it, hopefully.

  54. Any day now, we'll all be told how conservatives and Erin O'Toole are somehow responsible for this. He wanted to be at a ceremony somewhere but conservatives were "obstructing" him.

  55. Shouldn't be that hard to track down. They've got video and lots of witnesses. It's a question of whether anyone has the guts to do the right thing or not.

  56. Are they going to lease the tradesmen to build the fecking things too? And the materials that go into them?

  57. Getting a little taste of what you voted for, eh Vancouver? Enjoy it.

  58. Anybody can get in, it's nearly impossible to get them out, and they have no respect for, nor fear of, law enforcement.

  59.  @TentaclePentacle  A private citizen does it the same way a corporation does it. And the costs are the cost of doing business which are all tax deductible. You think he's better off in this case for not having done so?

  60. Thinking like this; along with a lot of other things, is exactly why you're going to lose! Whether or not you think she'd be a better adversary to Trump, she'd still have to contest an election at some point soon and as close as she was to Trudeau and his disastrous policies, she wouldn't stand a chance. And anointing her as leader without a fair contest would only serve to piss off liberals.

  61. For some people, maybe. I was never a heavy smoker; 2/3 pack a day at most. I quit 21 years ago and I'm still wheezing. Not as bad, but I'm still doing it. I smoked for more than 25 years so I guess you can only fix that so much. Just don't ever start.

  62. "I don't care for these newfangled automobiles. They're noisy and they're smelly. I prefer my good old horse here. He's been a loyal and trusty friend and this fine wagon here was built by Mr. Stevens; a fine craftsman, an upstanding gentleman and my neighbour." "No, I'm not fond of the new ways so I'm just going to stick to the old ways I've always known. And if they're no longer profitable because no one uses them anymore except 4 or 5 holdouts like me; why then, I demand the government step in and subsidize them."

  63. And still more than they're worth.

  64. Is Trudeau Canada's biggest dope dealer? Well, I dunno, but he's certainly Canada's biggest dope.

  65.  @TT-fq7pl  Thank you! It only took mere seconds actually, and I didn't even know it'd have the added bonus of making you cry.
