  1. He knew nothing then. He knows nothing now. Nothing has changed. Just like always.

  2. Obviously, this is the representative of America we want Europe to hear from, to know really represents us.

  3. What a sad little man. Goes off the rails at 13:58, which leads to booing and then shocked silence. Perfunctory applause puts a good face on the ugliness when he retreats into references to charity. He then makes an ugly retreat with religious code words which embarrasses everybody. Al Smith Jr. is graceful, clever, and does about as well as can be imagined given an utter disaster to handle. -dlj.

  4. ...all of which brings up the question of Hungary's membership in the EU.

  5. Truly weird. How is a major water-main break not something you jury-rig in a couple of hours, fix in a week, and rebuild for the next century's needs before the year is out?

  6.  @MugglesBWare  Nope. The shipper, not the Latino farmer, is responsible at the Canadian border. 'Course if the US get around to collecting at their southern border, that would add to the price once by the time it hit Canada. This, sadly is what is called an academic point.... If you want to look at the funny side, yeah, it's a nice silly question what the drug trade would look like if every country took their cut as the stuff went past. This, for instance, is what A-hole Trump wants to do to auto parts between Windsor and Detroit.

  7. Why would you fire people when you can just send them to Hell for all eternity without all the fuss and bother?

  8. "Mighty"? This was a Trump operation, worthless from the get-go.

  9.  @MugglesBWare  Mexico doesn't own it, you half wit. The person who would owe that ver-ree speculative Customs and Excise charge would be the Canadian importer.

  10. Thank you, individually. On the whole, though, under the Orange Delusional you're a menace to yourselves and to everybody else.

  11. I think there will be rather large "refunds." To the estates. 'Course the lawsuits will take years, and the lawyers will probably come out best.

  14. Naw: they did the research and concluded that a carbon tax on broccoli would be 18.3 times as productive. And it works the other way, too: Narcotics are net net carbon fixers in the countries where the plants are farmed.

  15. Since Trump was threatening to fire you, did you mention to him that he's already been fired?

  17. China's action here seems to have been cynical and cruel. This still leaves us with the question of why Canadian courts and governmental systems allowed themselves to be suborned to Donald Trump's pique. Bravo to the rest of Minister Garneau's sound points.

  19. If what you suggest is true, it might be because of lack of competition -- or even lack of competitive bidding at the contract level.

  20.  @MaliciousSRT  Anonymous SP, I know you think you're putting me down -- but you're failing. Zukerberg is a moderately good programmer and he's done a brilliant job of monetizing his limited skills -- rather like Marc Andreessen, his fellow billionaire. On the other hand, he knows squat about government and has clearly not thought through his position on paid lies on Facebook. He also seems to be carrying on much too much of his time without any expert help. He's a tekkie equivalent of "The lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client." AOC was a waitress -- an honest working-class job. May I take it that your sneer establishes you as a bona fide Trumpoid?

  21. My feeling too -- but it's not a very useful feeling. Both Trump and cocaine are dangerous random narcotics and they both need handling with care.

  22. If you twist any tube, it will close in the middle. The tensile strength of the tube's material is irrelevant. Tension is what ensures the squeeze.

  24.  @DaveWikle-ui5bl  Trump is a fool: he thinks this is a tax on Canada: it's a tax on American families too.

  25. He's lying -- as usual. The Republican extremes are obstructing the Republican right. The Democrats have already passed relief through the House, where they have the majority.

  27. Because this particular cold, like many others, is lethal quite a lot of the time but fortunately the vaccines are between 89% and 96% likely to cut that risk very close to zero. I've spent a year profitably playing the horses -- successfully, thanks in part to my judgement, in part the advice of an expert on horses. I'm good at gambling when I have expert help, as on the vaccine question. Thank you for asking, Matt.

  28.  @deepthoughts8393  Asked and answered, by and to Matt, soi-disant "Deepthoughts." If you think deeply -- and collect the relevant facts -- I am sure you will agree with me that the ukases on flying and going to concerts while one is a public danger are wise rules. 'Course I'm not that confident, given the evidence you provide, in the likelihood of your thinking deeply.

  33. This is true, but some of them we need to worry about a bit. That influenza, pneumonia and tuberculosis exist at all, let alone Covid, on First Nations territories is a national shame, a sign of simple incompetence at several different levels of government.

  36. Even if they were immune -- and they're not -- they have the responsibility not to help the viruses spread at a dangerous time. This is a simple proposition, Miroslav. It has nothing to do with "government" or "freedom." It's a question of how decent people behave in a time of shared danger.

  37. Canada has a strong and sound justice system -- which is one of the reasons Canadians live roughly two years longer than Americans.

  38. This is a terrible recording of a man not answering the questions he is asked. It is not publishable. 1.) Throw this recording away and tell the man to answer the questions, please. 2.) Suppress the echoes in the room; put a pad and a tablecloth on the desk and curtains on the wall behind him, and hire a sound man who knows what kind of microphone to use. 3.) Have the man gargle with saline or mouth-wash to cut down on his slurring and stumbling. 4.) Try again, and repeat until you get a decent recording of your questions.

  47.  @skewty  Scott, Pretty much everybody here is billions of dollars richer than Donald Trump. We're looking here at a man whose lifetime accomplishments to date are overwhelmingly negative. Even before we consider Eric. The grandfather was a whoremaster and his father was a government-subsidized builder of mass housing. At least both of them were builders. This guy is a wall to wall destroyer -- starting with his forebears' hard-won fortunes and his siblings' inheritances which he ran into the ground.

  48. Anonymous Canadian Civilian  I do not conflate anything, and you have no evidence for your slander. You don't specify who your "they" is. What are your thoughts on the usefulness of the distinction if it could be made? People dying with it certainly have deaths as unpleasant as people dying from it, so it would seem like a good idea to stop its spread regardless, don't you think?

  49. You can not love that man once you mature into admiring the skill of one of the conman greats. The most skillful shuck-and-jive artist since Ivar Kreuger. Once you catch on, you'd be sorta silly to love the man who is borrowing trillions fro the Chinese to give to his buddies, and then sticking your children and grandchildren with the bill to pay for it, wouldn't you?

  50.  @Mr_GiLL83  Well, he is already in the USA. You got that bit right.

  51. Correct -- but it takes tremendous discipline to do it. Well said. Now keep up the good work explaining economic reality to all of our fellow citizens. There are some frills to it, beyond just avoiding the stupidity of tit for tat revenge. The affected industries are entitled to some insurance at all of our, the public's, expense to ease the jolt, both coming into and eventually getting out of the insanity, and politicians on all sides have an obligation to educates us all, rather than taking advantage of the time of upheaval to distort things for partisan advantage.
    2
  52. American bureaucrats are willing to let Canadian politicians take the credit. The main point, however, is that American tariffs hit American businesses and American consumers. This is Trump's bunch of weirdie half-wits squawking for a few months to amuse the rubes, then running for cover when genuine business people and economists -- of whom there are fewer every day left in the Republican Party -- teach them how the real world works.

  53.  @leonardstefanyshyn40  He doesn't even rule Mar-a-Lago. The State of Florida, run by Republicans, rejected his attempt to register his residence there! The guy is a clueless fumble-bum, and you, poor Leonard, have been taken in by his artificial television self-presentation.
    2
  54.  @miltonlive87  Fine -- but Trump's ignorance of economics and irresponsibility about the consequences of his continual trolling need to be noticed. He's not joking around. He thinks he's being serious, when in fact he's just being randomly destructive.

  63. What this poor sad little man doesn't realize is that this "deep state" is all the achievements of ten thousand years of our attempts at civilization -- and the hard daily work of people who pick up his garbage and deliver his Diet Coke while he spreads venom and stupidity in the attempt to make himself bigger.

  68. Trump shuts the border, he shuts down the auto industry within days -- and injures it ver-ree badly five and ten years down the line. Canadians will switch to Honda and Toyota. Latin America goes "Mr first, me first" every way they can. Baby Trump is just a loud, destructive little child. He damages everything he touches. America first? Atlantic City big-time.

  69.  @bananarepublic4865  Source? You're just making stuff up out of thin air. All the evidence is the 10+ million "illegals" are more law-abiding than American citizens. And America is, or at least was great. That "again" thing of Trump's is a calculated anti-American insult.
    2
  70.  @bananarepublic4865  MAGAt, You've made up another fantasy number, this 25 million. And you're claiing that people who overstayed a visa committed a crime but people who killed off the Indians didn't. OK, I'll reword it for you, nit-picker: migrant workers in America are more law-abiding in their daily lives than are native-born American citizens, OK? And your numbers, both the original one per week, month or day, and your newly invented 25 million, are bogus.

  72. Why is this poor animal alone out there in the cold? Why can't it escape to the comfort of company, together with handsome, feral herds of Candian kangaroos, or Kanadian cangaroos, I'm not choosy, roaming in say Algonquin Park? And if that's too far, why are there not a few fat, contented, olde kangaroonim chewing their cuds in Queens Park, so it can find company in the city?

  73.  @FrankSmith-kg3dh  Nope. The minuscule number of sniffers on all the forces put are now lines up at Walgreens wondering why the pharmacist looks at them funny when they ask for 144 bottles of anything that says "++" on the label. Maybe you need to go back and watch the little movie, Frank: the stuff in in the cop shop, ot for sale nor for grabbing. "Frank? Frank?" Somebody catch Frank: I think he's on his way to Walgreens.

  74.  @archerizeit7444  We have pretty close to economic integration, and separate currencies probably helps lubricate economic activity. The United States would probably be even richer if it allowed separate currencies, perhaps by state or by Fed district (although Missouri would look funny having two different currencies in a single state).

  79. Cynicism is the wisdom of the half wit. You notice that the major cocaine businessman, Escobar so far, thought he lived in South America, but in fact he was on the way to the Unites States all along. Now he's in the United States. Permanently. That's the sort of thing the CIA buys. No tariffs involved, young Chang.

  84.  @taylorjakes2129  What diplomacy, where? The only thing Trump's craven skittering away to Iraq has accomplished is leaving the field free for the Turks to carry out their bloody ethnic cleansing of the struggling for birth Kurdistan. Trump's weakness, ignorance, and essential triviality of character gave the green light to the military violence that is now taking place. On the diplomatic side of things, I think a good deal of blame belongs to the French and the Germans over the past generation, in their preventing Turkey from entering the European Union. It seems to me that Turkey's isolation, or failed integration, has been fodder for the resentment upon which the quite non-Islamic "Islamism" festers.

If he says that two plus two make three at the beinning of a paragraph and five at the end, he firmly believes them both. A true pro!

  88. There are entire countries out there where most of the population have been vaccinated. Even the US, Mother Church of incompetence, has vaccinated forty-plus million people, covering most of the priority groups, the aged, the ill, and the front-line workers. Canada is still dithering about plans? For the future? When the vaccine eventually becomes available? Trump got retired for less than this...

Seriously, he's been a competent programmer and he does have a decent side, e.g. his past immigration activism -- about which he has been strangely silent for the past year or so. It seems to me the beginning of wisdom is somewhere around copying Bill Gates's example in his early career: take ten years off to do something different and useful.

  126.  leftslayer  Not at all. We give thanks every day for the fact that Trump's colossal incompetence prevents him from doing more harm than he already has. (It's tough on our Kurdish friends, a decent bunch, though. Vile Donnie's stupidity as already cost several hundred their lives i the past week... 😢) This is a guy who, with control of both Houses of Congress, can't repeal President Obama's give-away to the health-insurance industry.

In situations like that in my life I sometimes find myself saying something like "I don't know, but I have a couple of my guys looking into it. We'll know pretty soon." Pari passu, Trump's might have been more like "I'll have the NSA make as much as possible public soon. We'll {let the Press Room know/message you all} in two or three hours, four at the outside." It's been a few years since I've been in the White House or dealt with the seniors of the CIA, but in my time it would have been something like those. What would you want him to say?

  140.  @JohnSmith-zk9rc  Canada's national debt is under $700 billion. Nowhere near even one trillion. From there you sputter off into schoolyard insults. I hope you can get it together soon. Sad.

  143.  @nono-qe2yq  Elon's drug of choice is ketamine as far as is publicly known. I think he behaves that way whenever he drinks water.

  144. With global warming, the tree line will move north. Canada's increase in timber and other organic growth will do wonders for our carbon balance even if we do nothing. Ain't it wunnerful to be benefitting from everybody else's disaster! 🤨😯😕

  149. The Orange Delusional imagines that Justin Trudeau, whom he hates, is being forced to write him a cheque. He genuinely does not understand that a tariff is a tax on the American consumer!

  152. They are all distracting themselves by repeating and re-repeating things that are true, very true, and irrelevant. The tensile strength of carbon fibre is exactly what ensured that the ends would be pulled crashing, crushing, in.
