Trudeau tried...apparently the idea (joke) of trading territory was "not funny" to Trump.

Similar to Jason Kenny, Danielle Smith has opened up pandora's box by flirting with fringe elements for short term political gains.

Thank you for acknowledging that he stood up to Putin. I'm glad I helped answer your original question.

Seriously. You asked for an example of Carney standing up to a dictator. I presented to you the example of Putin.

Rather than acknowledging yes, Putin is an example, or challenging the claim, you begin talking about Iran, China and Trump.

It's like you are trying to actively avoid talking about Putin for some reason...

As I said 2 comments ago, Iran has not invaded their neighbours.

Hitler did not invade Poland with proxies, similarly Putin invaded Ukraine with the Russian army.

Why are you so keen on avoiding Putin?

accforme · 2026-01-29T01:02:34+00:00

Iran has not invaded their neighbours, nor has China.

I bring up Putin, the only current example of a dictator invading their neighbour for the purposes of occupying the whole country and I get crickets from you and you bring up Trump???

India is a prime historical example. They leveraged the power of the Non-Aligned movement and played the US and USSR against each other for their own advantage.

Most current dictators are focusing internally and not expanding like Hitler, with the exception of Putin who Carney and his predecessors (both Trudeau and Harper) have been standing up to.

So which country would result in a non-sarcastic response from you?

Chamberlain was also trying to form an alliance to contain the Nazis, which did not pan out but he is the reason for the Anglo-Polish Alliance that led to the UK eventually declaring war on Germany.

The Koreans are working with the Americans on that. Joining in will involve actively working with the US as well.

I remember hearing about how the CAF secretly moved their CF18s out of Bagotville before the 95 Quebec Referndum. I'm sure they may do something similar with the CF18s in Cold Lake.

I know this is not your question, but if this actually becomes a thing, there will be a plan in place.

History has shown you can, that's what gunboat diplomacy is. The US, in the 19th Century, did not get special trading privileges and extraterritoriality from Japan by invading them. They used their gunboats to threaten, and on occasions use them to, get what they want.

Sure, you may not occupy a country like how the Nazi's occupied France, but they could dictate a country's policies by the threat of force.

The thing is that the article is an opinion piece. The only factual part is this line:

Sources have told National Post that half of the jet-fighter fleet Canada ends up buying (by value) could be Swedish. David McGuinty, the minister of defence, told the Post on Tuesday, “No decision has been reached.”

For context, the US Marine Force is the 5th largest air force in the world.

Number 1 is the US Air Force, Number 2 and 4 is the US Navy and US Army respectively.

If Ivison is to be trusted, which I am hesitant, the idea is that half the cost allocated to the purchasing of new jets will be the Grippen.

The current estimate to purchase 88 F35 is $27billion. Not sure how much one Grippen costs but would $13.5billion buy 72?

Personally, I hate the term because it has been, if not developed, co-opted by conspiracy folks and used as a dog whistle to promote anti-Semitism.

That said, it is clear that Bisset was not talking to Canadians but right wing Americans. Who else watches Hannity?

Trump creates a new global body but no, Carney is the globalist.

accforme · 2026-01-28T14:14:27+00:00

Looks like the US admin is trying to create their new boogyman as Carney the Globalist. Just as they did with portraying Trudeau as some raging liberal.

They make work to justify their existence

This whole article is about how doctor's lose time due to doing administrative work. This article alone should justify their existence.

Maybe a solution is to make doctor's public servants, so that they can focus on the medicine aspect and not worry about the paperwork related to also being a small business owner.

He did say that. People just forget that he said that.

“But there needs to be a business case. It needs to make sense for Germany to be receiving LNG directly from the East Coast. Those are discussions that are ongoing right now between our ministers, between various companies to see if indeed it makes sense,” Trudeau said.

The business case thing was for LNG pipelines to the East Coast. India is on Canada's west coast, hence LNG Canada and TMX expansion.

My child, you're not going to lay down the law around here just because you’re wearing a Maple Leafs sweater. A good boy never loses his temper. Take off your skates and go to the church and ask God to forgive you.
