Gen. Rick Hillier calls Trump adviser Peter Navarro an 'idiot' for belittling Canada's role in Afghanistan

Canada's former top soldier Rick Hillier lashed out today at U.S. President Donald Trump's trade adviser, calling Peter Navarro an "idiot" for dismissing Canada's contribution to the war on terror as nothing more than an effort to curry favour with the U.S.

"My first reaction, honestly, was, 'What an idiot,'" Hillier told CBC News Network's Power & Politics Tuesday.

"I mean, even if you believe those things, I'm not sure why you would make them, or why you would disrespect the service and sacrifice in this spilling of blood and the loss of lives by Canada's sons and daughters who soldiered alongside our American battle brothers and sisters."

Loser shits his pants because muslims get shot in mosques every once in a while. Doesn't give two shits about the all the innocent people being killed or having their lives destroyed all across the Western World by left-wing terrorists like Antifa and BLM. But that's not real terrorism according the forum's resident water head.


You are such a simpering loser it's f*cking pathetic.

‘Escalating’ far-right violence in U.S. to pose greatest terrorist threat

Far-right extremism is by far the most common ideology behind terrorist incidents in the United States, according to a new analysis

In a report released last week, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) analyzed 25 years of domestic terrorism incidents, finding that “right-wing attacks and plots account for the majority of all terrorist incidents in the United States since 1994,” outpacing terrorist acts by all other sources such as “far-left networks and individuals inspired by the Islamic State and al-Qaeda.”

Some of my fellow Republicans clearly didn't get the 'Canada memo'

Although many will disagree, I take at face value the Trump administration's claim that they are strongly anti-Russian in their foreign policy. The U.S. has built up our military, provided lethal weapons to Ukraine, and have asked Canada and other NATO countries to spend more on defense. If you believe that the U.S. has a strong anti-Russian policy, you should thank Canada. Canada, with its large Ukrainian diaspora, has spent billions of dollars on restoring democracy and rebuilding the economic sector in Ukraine. Having an independent Ukraine is a critical component of an anti-Russia policy.

The Trump administration has spoken about a policy of "energy dominance," a policy I subscribe to. The U.S. has only recently become a major exporter of oil and gas. If you add up the contributions by Canada and Mexico, then, yes, North America is absolutely energy dominant. If you want to counter Venezuela, Iran, and Russia by flooding the oil markets and making those countries poorer, then we need Canadian oil sands to do that.

Speaking of China, one of the most important things we can do in this great power competition is to win the future on the critical but obscure topic of strategic minerals. Electric cars, telephones, and national defense equipment require strategic minerals and so-called "rare earths" for electronics and batteries. A lot of these minerals are in Canada. China has recently had a lock on the strategic minerals market because China is willing to produce these minerals in dirty ways. The best mining companies and best mining practices come from Canada, and if Canadians mine these minerals with clean methods and follow the best mining practices, which they soon will do, then the West's technological edge will be secured......More

Navarro is an idiot, yes, but he also has no freakin' clues about how the US military feels about the Canadian military.

A pile o shyte speaking a pile o shyte and not really worth considering beyond the moment.

A whole lot of bullshit. Canadian mining companies are among the worst in terms of environmental stewardship and human right violations. Dominating the world has been the downfall of the Yankee Empire with the largest part of their military budget going to invade sovereign third world countries to steal their resources. Trump is overseeing the dismantling of that phuking empire, even if he is or isn't aware he is doing that. He was put in place by the ruling elite (who know no borders) because they have become a liability to the world economy. China will probably be the next world police force, so be afraid and brush up on your Cantonese.

I'm still trying to figure out what benefit Navarro expected to derive from insulting out closest and best neighbor and reliable military ally.
