Wow. How stunning and brave of Greyhound. Unfortunately, they have no right to see any warrants, nor to impede ICE in their duties.

The actual "MS 13" was added to the photo to make it clear what the actual tattoos mean. Like adding a caption. But the meaning of the tats is rather clear. As is his history of abusing his wife. Or don't we believe all women any more?

What does the number mean, the number of 'cars' on the train she pulled last Saturday night?

"Meanwhile, foreign investments accounted for more than half of the U.S. total investments since Trump entered office – roughly $3.3 trillion. Foreign investments in U.S. industries came from the United Arab Emirates, Japan, Saudi Arabia and India. Among those countries, the United Arab Emirates invested the most, committing last month to a $1.4 trillion investment framework targeting U.S. based industries over a ten-year period. The other countries that have agreed to invest in U.S. products and industries include Japan, which has committed $1 trillion, Saudi Arabia, which has committed $600 billion, and India, with $310 billion." https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/foreign-domestic-investments-totaling-over-5t-under-trump-adds-451k-jobs-americans Apple alone for $500 billion from a total of $1.8 trillion from private investors.

I would call the deportation of thousands of illegal alien criminals a large win. Also effectively closing the entire southern border to illegal crossings is a yuuuge win! Oh, and attracting trillions of dollars in foreign investment to the US. And starting to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which Biden disastrously drained for pure partisan political advantage. But yeah, other than those very minor details, nothing to talk about.

Wow. So ALL of Europe has managed to pony up about as much as one country, the US. "slow clap" Now tell me why they cannot defend themselves, nor even lay a smack down on Russia? They have ten TIMES the GDP of Russia and far more industrial capacity. So why are they so niggardly in supporting a fellow European neighbour?

Attack the gays? Nothing to do with the issue. Most gay folks are very aware of and confident in their gender. Otherwise, how could they be, well...gay? A gay man is attracted to men. Probably not trans-men with either no willie or a strap on. Ditto, gay women are attracted to women. Probably not trans-women who still HAVE willies, or have had them lopped off. IMHO, the gay community is well fed up with being lumped in with the rest of the rainbow mafia.

You mean China and Russia and Poland and Germany and Japan?

Life sucks. They had years to go home voluntarily, but chose to stay in the states. And paid the price. They can get treatment in their home country..

Yes. A negotiating tactic, nothing more. As is evidenced by how often and deeply they get cut. But that is for another discussion. Now that Canada has a government , it remains to be seen how negotiations go. I wish PM Carney and his team the best. There are a few Liberals that have some smarts- thank God they got rid of Freeland at least.

Not quite that simple. A lot of Canada's economic woes are self inflicted. There has been too much immigration, too much navel gazing about Native peoples' issues, too much over regulation, and not enough hard work.

What happened is the race polarized. Support drained from the minor parties to the major ones. The Libs are up 1.3 million votes or so. The Conservatives up a million. But the minor parties are hurting. Lots of 'strategic voting' helped the Liberals to win agains the Conservatives. NDP supporters largely held their noses and voted for Carney.

It really touched a nerve, but as time went on the fear was abating. The Conservatives were rising in the polls, but at the same time support for the far-left NDP was cratering. Looks like the NDP share of the vote is down by something like 70% over the last election. Smart people know that Trump was just BSing. But in all honesty I wanted him to shut up. It was borderline funny the first time as a way to dig at Trudeau. But like your old uncle who tells the same jokes at every family gathering, it just got irritating.

Can't argue with your logic. Hard to be opposition leader when you aren't in the Commons.

Singh has lost his seat, and has resigned as NDP leader. Polievre is currently behind in his riding, by a substantial margin, and may also lose his seat. Might cost him his job too...

Thanks. IMHO it goes both ways. Hard for one of us to be prosperous without the other. Living next to the US is mostly a benefit, gives us access to the largest consumer market in the world. At the same time, it would be better to diversify our trading partners to create more competition. Also, we are 20 years behind in maximizing the use of our natural resources. It has to stop. And Canadians have to stop being so wishywashy and emotional. Nothing wrong with being aggressive and successful, yet too many of my countrymen suffer from "Tall Poppy Syndrome". And too many reflexively describe their identity as being simply not American.

Not alone, but it was a big factor for sure. I don't know whether it was part of a strategy to help Carney, or just being mouthy and unhelpful. Whatever, the Liberals were able to use it to fear-monger their way to power again. TBH I am not happy with him now...

Sadly Tug my friend, we have neither freedom of choice or freedom of our healthcare. Both are rather heavily regulated. I am just praying that Carney doesnt follow the worst of Trudeau's idiotic policies and pandering. He is definitely more intelligent than Trudeau, hopefully that translates into a more pragmatic way of government.

We can only hope that Carney 2.0 more closely resembles. 2008 Carney than the 2020 version.

Well, crap . Hoping for a different result, but there ya go All I can say is congratulations to PM Carney and let's get to work restoring prosperity and patriotism in Canada.

56% is a clear majority. And the number goes even higher if you limit it to illegals who commit crimes (other than crossing the border). Still bitter about the election, are you? Must be humiliating to see your candidate and party bested by an "orange moron".

No, the wilds of Aichi. Father in law was a Toyota exec before he retired.

Wife is from Japan, married 33 years. We split our time between Thailand and Japan, probably go full time in Thailand in 2 or 3 years.

You sure about that? The majority cross the border at a place with no port of entry. An illegal act AFAIK. They can apply for refugee status at an American consulate or embassy in Mexico. In any case, Trump is doing what the public wants. Support for deporting ALL illegals is something like 56%. A clear answer from the people.

God forbid. He is a lizard. And he is benefitting from two things- his "honeymoon period" is still not over, and the over-hyping of the 'danger' from the USA. Given time, both would fade away and his fundamental globalist tendencies would be revealed. But to be honest I am worried that people will fall for his shtick of "...but Trump!". Still have a week though...
