The mayor is representing a large number of citizens who are opposed. If he wants to mount a legal challenge he should not use public funds as he does not have a mandate to do so. Polling shows a majority are in favour of the expansion. The man is over stepping his authority in respect to use of public funds.

Let them play with the dogs in a closed room.

Wonderful that the US domestic economy is strong, but it is you who has interpreted incorrectly and is so arrogant as to attack anyone stating the obvious. 70% +of the US economy is based upon the service sector and is not particulary resilient. Inflated healthcare costs represent 17% of the GDP. 11% is government. Only 17.6% comes from industry. Financial services like banking and insurance do not create wealth for the nation, yet you carry on as if it is creating national wealth. China's industrial sector accounts for 36.5% of its GDP. That's why it is a powerhouse and it can markets to other regions like Latin America and replace US industries. - Exports represent 11% of the US GDP. If the export market is reduced by 10% it will have a significant impact. - The US domestic economy relies on cheap imports that it transforms into more valuable finished products. If the USA loses access to those cheap imports its domestic ecomy will be negatively impacted. Trump loves to attack Canadian lumber imports, but the reality is that the USA does not have the capacity to replace the Canadian lumber. It doesn't have the sawmills or the non impact forest areas to cut. When the USA cuts down trees today, it negatively impacts watersheds and puts communities at risk for flooding and other manmade catastrophes. US consumers won't pay the higher costs of US lumber. Trump complains about Canadian aluminum, but the USA can't replace it and Canada can easily sell to world markets. Trump says he doesn't need cheap Canadian oil that is bought cheap , refined and then sold back at inflated prices to Canada, all done by US oil companies . Good. Canada should keep the oil and let the US midwest go without because the pipelines are from Canada into the midwest, not from the rest of the USA into the midwest. The US farmers depend on cheap fertilizer from Canada. Let them buy the contaminated potash at 2X the price from Russia and pass on the costs to consumers. Tourism is 3% of the US GDP. Watch it shrink and see how many of the 9 million employed in the sector lose their jobs. In order to have need for a service based economy there must be an inflow of wealth and that will not happen if the world stops transacting with the USA. Consider what happens if the world moves away from the domonance of the US banking system and its US control and instead moves to EU or Japanese banks. No more US influence. The USA is forcing that change,

Get a grip. People torment. animals and a dog will respond when tormented. I would give my dog priority over you. Yes, I would. It is more loyal, a better friend and more reliable. I owe you nothing, except for respect for your personal space and legal rights. ANything else is an imposition. Defenceless children my arse. Many of these kids taunt and tease injured and elderly animals and then people like you come along and proclaim the little sociopaths as innocents.

The US aircraft are flying for US interests not EU, so try again. The USAF isn't protecting Canadian airspace, the RCAF is. When there is a scramble, its RCAF aircraft going out not USAF.

Absolute nonsense. The stretch between the Centara and down to the Hyatt is very busy. The beach is very wide and long, so it looks lightly populated, but it isn't. This is the busiest its been for at least the past decade. I take my afternnon walk at 16:30 and people are out in full force doing the same.

Huh? There are speeding motorbikes on the alleged bicycle paths.

What spigots? US has not been funding the EU. The reality is that Russia did not pose a threat to many EU members, or Canada. The constant intrusions into Canada by Russian nuclear armed aircraft was a threat to US security not Canada. The USA needs the EU and others to protect its shipping routes. The USA economy is trade dependent and if it cannot import the materials it needs, its economy flounders. Time to start considering the ramifications if the rest of the world stops purchasing US products and/or stops selling to the USA at preferred prices. All that is needed to cause the USA economy to tailspin is a reduction in its exports of 10%. 5% will result in layoffs and loss of tax revenues. So does the USA. Only the USA's Trump is threatening to default on its debt. US consumer market is dependent on China. If China stops selling to the USA, Walmart, Costco and others will be empty of products. The Chinese are a lot stronger and more unified that the USA. They can go without fancy things. Deny an American his pork rinds and the trailer parks will erupt in riots. How will Europe Replace Russian gas - They have done so with Gulf Arab imports. Canada is about to change its energy export policy and we may see one of the world's largest oil and gas reserves made available. Should Europe Even the Tariff Playing Field- How about the US removing its trade barriers? The US has some of the toughest. Is a European Army Practical Yes.It can be structured as per the existing NATO protocols. At the very least Germany can train with France and the UK. What Social Benefits need to be Cut to Pay for European Defense -None In Light of the Cowardly Nature of Western European Youth, Should the Eastern European form a Separate Military Bloc- They are already integrated with the western EU. There is no Eastern EU now other than Romania and Bulgaria, and they are backward states to begin with. Whats Does Germanys Reversal of Class Interests in the Recent Election say about the future of Leftist parties in Europe- The social progressive movement remains strong and will not disappear. How Does the Green Agenda affect European Power generation and Industrial Expansion - Have you read the Green proposals? Some are quite intelligent and forward thinking. They focus on resilience, efficiency and sustainability. If the USA doesn't participate and respect others, it will not have a seat at the table and will have little influence.

I do not. I also avoid tiktok.

Hasn't X shared info with ICE in the usa?

AN members only demand that if perp is Black, Chinese, Indian or Israeli.

Trailer parks across the US south have let loose collective flatulence in your support. As soon as residents can waddle on over to the recruiting station they will enlist.

USA is the only country to have invoked Article 5 of NATO agreement. It needlessly wasted NATO resources on a failed war. Billions of $$ wasted. NATO members should ask for their money back and compensation for deaths and injuries.

Ferry closed down years ago. btw Hua Hin has been packed with visitors since November.

So far, they have been consistent. It is not like Trump is going to doing anything to contain expansionist russia.

Get new dentures or have an enema.

Even worse. You claim that because you have bids there are no problems. Brilliant.

Wait until some traitor sells the electronic codes to China.

The existing laws state that this man must be treated as a refugee until the required legal process is completed. Until the claims are substantiated he may be given liberty. Yes the treaties and laws are F-ed up, and yes successive governments are useless on this issue, and yes he should be locked up and thrown out. However, anytime a government tries to respond, hundreds of thousands turn out to protest and peple like corbyn, abott, church leaders, immans and labour unions assemble to block the changes. The problem is the lack of spine in the UK. One thing trump is doing well has been to stop the massive inflow of migrants into the usa. The UK can learn from that.

a ketamine-fueled buffoon charged with purging the civil service. Beautiful prose

Know why they have dirt roads in Afghanistan? So NATO troops can be wasted serving US political adventures. The French were good enough for the US to rely on them in Africa to contain the Islamic jihadists.

They can't do much. The Thai authorities have to respond to a complaint, and they rarely do.

Doubtful. Try arrogant.

Trickle down economics and initiating massive budget deficits in large part because of tax cuts for a small group.

Not at all, You are claiming that you have many projects in the pipeline. Wonderful for you, but it has no relevance if not taken in consideration of the total numbers. If the total number of projects and their values is reduced, then it means that others are not enjoying the same success you are bragging about and that does have a negative impact.
