    What will that look like? The real name and then the Trump version in brackets below it? Satisfying the US requirement, but still utilizing the globally recognized name? Something like this? President Donald Trump signed an executive order on January 20, 2025, directing U.S. federal agencies to...

    The Donroe Doctrine

    Gotta do something as opposed to outright capitulation. If you were in Carney’s shoes at this point, what would you do? Try to diversify knowing that the results are going to be years down the road (?) or bend over and lube up the entire country? (Trumps rape of Venezuelan resources is gonna...

    The Donroe Doctrine

    Canada isn’t trying to make Canada greater by invading and/or annexing through military or economic means Cuba or Venezuela or Greenland or America or Mexico or Botswana. Apples and oranges. Two different things and two different situations here.

    Awesome. Brought into Canada, through already in place arrangements with New Zealand, and it would’ve gone through Canadian inspection on the way in, and inspection in New Zealand before it left etc…right? These are two different things. Apples and oranges. (YouTube & USDA recalls 30,000...

    Canada’s Military current state & equipment

    Washington went into last week’s trade talks with Canada looking for more than relief on dairy and alcohol. The administration wanted Ottawa to complete its F-35 purchase, buy American radar planes as part of joining President Trump’s Golden Dome missile defense project and grant the U.S. a...

    The Donroe Doctrine

    The rapid demise of Canada-U.S. official relations, marked by fury in one nation and indifference or bewilderment in the other, suggests there will be no quick reconciliation or return to something resembling normal. In the span of a few days this mercantile dispute – seeded by the new American...

    A new proposal by President Donald Trump to open a 90-day, tariff-free quota of up to 300,000 metric tons of imported beef for grinding, ⁠aimed at boosting supply and lowering ground beef prices in the U.S. claiming the imported meat will be sold at 25% below current market prices… …which has...

    What was never on the table was a zero-tariff deal, according to three senior Canadian officials.That is something the prime minister first acknowledged last summer but never forcefully persuaded Canadians to accept. All along, he insisted that U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods were illegal and...

    …& Yet it was Carney that swooped in at Trumps request and brokered the Sweetheart deal between Qatar and Jared Kushner when he got in over his head with a real estate deal at 666 5th Ave. Carney is on both sides of the fence here. Brookfield Asset Management later reached a deal in 2018 to...

    Iran War. . . USA Up 2-0 in the First Period

    9/11 was Settler violence? Blaming the attacks on settler violence oversimplifies Al-Qaeda's extremist ideology, which aimed to force a total withdrawal of American influence from the Middle East and overthrow secular Arab governments, but ok. Anyway, Iran left the door open to diplomacy on...

    Iran War. . . USA Up 2-0 in the First Period

    I did miss that whole thread that started and ended the same day on a Wednesday just over three weeks ago that only yourself posted into. Still missing it. Do you have an opinion on the CBC with the use of the term terrorist or terrorism since we’re coming up on the anniversary of 9/11 in the...

    I’m not sure how official that really is, outside of Trumps MAGA-Stan with their cartographer in chief. The renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America" is official only for the U.S. federal government and does not have any international recognition. I’m still waiting on the renaming...

    The North American Free Trade Agreement struck in 1987 forbid any export taxes on any goods traded between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico — a clause that was maintained under the current Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement…that Trump doesn’t want to renew. The negotiations between the American and...

    The Donroe Doctrine

    Trump has decided to ignore international law by blowing up boats in the Caribbean, installing friendly puppets who will allow the U.S. to seize their resources and is now attempting to use economic coercion to try to force Canada to give up its sovereignty and accept a status as a kind of 21st...
