    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    Wow…I’m not sure where to start here. I’ve been in this business for quite some time, & when the 2008/2009 housing crisis hit (in the US, but it ripple globally), this company went from 50+ trucks to 4. America is very protectionist. I went first plumbing for a year (there’s a reason why...

    Canadian Federal Election Outcome October 20th (or 27th?), 2025.

    Ontario is about 40% of the population of Canada (much of that in the dick that sticks into the top of the US), & Quebec is about 25% of the population of Canada. Together they are 2/3rds…

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    No idea. Don’t know much about the guy other than what I’ve read. Seen some pictures of him with Epstein’s girlfriend, but she’s probably being photographed with hundreds of celebrities and politicians and pedophiles and occasional bankers and so on and so forth so…I’ve no idea.

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    I respected it, & still do. Not its leadership, but itself as an entity, neighbour, trade partner, ally, national friend, travel destination, & in the industry I’m in I have many American friends. Trump is burning bridges so damn fast. It’s not even funny.

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    What about America? I don’t mean Trump’s America, but the respect that America has gathered for the last 150 years or so? That seems to be going out the window in the last several weeks. Does that mean anything?

    How’s that working out for them both? I mean beyond the time it takes somebody to flex their Google, & some basic analytical skills?

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    Well, I wouldn’t have predicted this a decade ago. So this is Trump being a political diplomatic mastermind playing eight dimensional chess?

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    Trump was a complete arse, & Vance was a sycophant to Trumps arse, like a festering boil on Trumps arse. The world was watching these bullies not make America great again by any means. Trump & Vance where the skid marks in the underwear of diplomacy today, and who in their right mind would...

    Trump 2.0

    You do understand that….Tariffs beget reciprocal tariffs, & that domestic tariffs upon Americans are (in Trumps mind) there to reduce demand for the Canadian products in America that he’s putting them on, right?

    Pierre Poilievre

    U.S. President Donald Trump often talks about Canada. Frequently disparagingly, and lately menacingly. But it's not often he opines on the country's internal politics. He broke from that pattern in a just-published interview with a U.S. conservative writer who asked him about the country's...

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    Trump and Zelenskiy talked over each other as Trump insisted Zelenskiy was losing the Ukraine war and said, "people are dying, you're running low on soldiers." He threatened to withdraw U.S. support in a standoff in front of reporters ahead of a planned signing ceremony for a revenue-sharing...

    Because that story is from a Thursday? Is it different today already? Is it different from Wednesday? Not being facetious but seriously… it’s like somebody flipping a coin every four hours.😁

    Borders plural meaning? I guess technically Canada has borders. It also shares a border with Greenland (so Denmark). Nobody seems to talk about that Greenland border being porous though…& if Trump annexes Greenland, we can start worrying about guns and drugs and shit coming in from that...
