I was just commenting on the fact that we did get a downgrade. You decided to make a big deal out of it so I decided to waste some time. I do that with idiots sometimes.


I thought I was being humble by admitting my mistake. The fact is, we are headed for tough days when the bill comes in for Trudeau's re-election extravaganza.

Huh? I'm a little confused as to why you quoted me and then wrote this.

Especially since what you quoted was basically my last post to hoid.

Actually, I wasn't really addressing your quote, I just posted it because I agreed with you. As to the other, I was just musing that three pages back I admitted my error about Italy.

Debt no longer matters.

If we elect a conservative government you'll never hear another word about it.

Canada is one of I believe 11 nations having the triple AAA rating.

They are all Liberal Democracies.

Go figure.
AA+. Go figure, you're using 18 yr old data. At least twice now someone has put up links showing that Canada was downgraded and yet you keep insisting we have a triple A rating despite the CLEAR evidence we don't.



None are so blind as those who are willfully blind.

Canada adds $25M more to Lebanon aid after deadly Beirut blast for $30M total

Canada will provide an additional $25 million to Lebanon to help the country recover from a pair of explosions last week that destroyed a large portion of Beirut and left at least 160 dead, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office said Monday.

The money will be added to the $5 million announced last week, for a total of $30 million in humanitarian and recovery aid.

"I join Canadians across the country to mourn those who were lost in last Tuesday's tragic explosion in Beirut, and to offer sincere condolences to their families and friends and they grieve this tragedy," Trudeau said in a statement.

"Together, we can support the people of Lebanon as they work to heal and rebuild."

Trudeau also urged Canadians to contribute to the Lebanon Matching Fund, which will see the federal government match donations made to the Humanitarian Coalition and its members between Aug. 4 and Aug. 24.

Monday's announcement also saw government increase the limit for donations matched to $5 million. The Ministry of International Development said the original $2 million limit was reached in less than 48 hours.

"We are ready to do more and we will ensure that our investments go directly to communities affected," Minister Karina Gould said following the announcement.

The original $5 million in aid, which was announced by Foreign Affairs Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne on Wednesday, included an initial $1.5 million that was given to the Lebanon Red Cross to meet urgent needs like food, shelter and emergency medical services.

"Canada will be there every step of the way to help the people of Lebanon as they rebuild and to push for much-needed political and economic reforms," Champagne said in a statement......More
