Waaaa he hurt my feelings waaaaaa waaaaa . Stupid Americans coming on here and interrupting my trolling waaaaa .

Sorry, Dumbo. Did I also interrupt your trolling?

Start a Cdn vs American thread somewhere else.

Why are they even on a "Canadian Content Forum"?

Ask an American on this forum if there is a snooty Canadian stereotype or not.

Oh? So you're not, after all?

"It's my thread"

I apologize for infringing on your copyright.

I've been called a lot of things, but snooty ain't one of them.

Hey Murph,

I'd reply to your private message to me, but I don't know how so I'll do it here...

I'll take your words to heart, but with all due respect, I bang to the beat of my own drum....as evidenced by my avatar. :)

Here is a story from the Canadian website the National Observer. It talks about fake news from a Canadian perspective - but it cannot ignore the huge influence the US has on what is told to Canadians. Most will find this an interesting read.

How vulnerable is Canada to fake news? Very. | National Observer

The National Observer is a "de Nile" rag and is itself the working definition of "fake news".

We used to refer that stuff as "propaganda", pre-Trumpistan.

Thank you for verifying the source! If you think it's fake, then it must be trustworthy! You're tied with MF now. Good on you!

Roasts and cabaret girls. An important event for presidents to go to. It would seem that him not attending might have global implications.

You might think that I'm being a smart ***, but I am serious. Are you presently receiving treatment or taking any medications for depression, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder? It just seems that your posts are all over the place. No focus, full of hate and very confused. I know that you are going to post something in order to strike back, but I truly hope that if you are not currently being seen by a professional, that you or your family will get you the help you seem to need.

It's sad to see people this way.

I hate to see otherwise intelligent people enabling an evil son of a bitch like Trump, on a public forum.

Seriously, Are you suffering from any of the above? ... or are you just a stupid git, after all?

What the hell did you do in the Forces, anyway? You couldn't have led troops. Your judgement is so sh1t poor that no one in their right minds should follow you.

Numb Nuts spouts off constantly on Twitter with lies and baloney. He's too mentally weak to accept that others have the same rights as him.

I see. It is a Feb 2017 article, so I doubt that it is posted all the time. It may have been posted here somewhere, but it is only 2 weeks old.

I heard on CBC Radio tonight that there was a Trump protest at the Hudson's Bay store in Toronto. Nobody showed and nobody cared. Since the CBC is a fake news outfit there obviously was lots of people there and everybody cared

The funny thing that Trumpites can't seem to grasp is that since the inception of CNN, and with the explosion of the web, these organizations aren't "news" orgs. They're infotainment channels and web pages. Everybody but Trumpites seem to able to grasp the concept.
So why all the whining about who is and isn't being allowed at some press conference? Seems to me it's not the Trumpites crying about it.

I have Tuesday off. I'm going to head downtown with a sign that reads "Stop Yelling at Trump Tower. Other buildings are trying to enjoy their day in Peace."

Enjoy your right to be autonomous on these forum, the Liberals don't like the press and they don't respect Canadians way of expression. IF they have a choice this forum will change as well. I don't belong to the CBC forum, but if I should join, I would have to post my first and last name, so they can monitor me and strangers can google me to find out who and where I live!! But it could also be that they people on that forum always have to be sweet and humble and pro JT!! The Liberals want to control opinions of people, that is clear with some of their motion and poor attempts at implementing bills.
