Actually, the opposite is true. Practically none of them are heading down to Florida anymore.

So?

An IQ test or proof of knowledge in politics should be mandatory before having the right to vote....

 

Then 75% of lefties would lose their right to vote.

Can you not see that is costing the US a lot of money?

Don't care.

Just now, Mike_Hunt said:

Don't care.  

After all, what's money when it comes to the question of the economy? Not just that...what's money if Mike Hunt doesn't care? Because the major economic system of measurement out there is the Mike Hunt Emotional Engagement Index.

Congratulations to our Canadian friends! You'll now get a PM with vast experience in international economy and dealing with large corporations.

An added bonus is that Melania (presumably) doesn't wanna bang him, which, as we all know, was the main reason why Trump hated Trudeau.

 

PS. Be sure to send Trump a thank you note. Without him this would not have been possible, so at least he did one thing right during his 100 first days!

 

There is very little chance Trudeau would be attracted to her in any way.

Just admit it, you can't afford to travel.

In a departure from tradition, PM Carney did not firstly thank his family and friends, instead he opened with, "Thanks, Don. I couldn't have done it without you".

That would be so good for the US !! Including the runners for office.

Australian federal election Saturday May 3.

 

It's almost certain a leftist government will be voted in again. They were floundering in the polls prior to Trump taking over the White House.

 

Like Canadians, Australians don't like bullies.

You would be disqualifying all of Trump's MAGA base.

Ah, the evil cabal of globalists. The faceless group of masterminds moving and dealing in the shadows, never seen, never named.

Or is it the plot of the next Bond movie....🤔

 

Both.

 What long-term insight into Australian politics do you base that opinion on?

He can thank Donald. Had to be a Liberal once the idiot's antics from across the were revealed.

Trump got the result he didn't want by his stupid rhetoric.

Carey is an extremely qualified economist who will have a very stable, long serving cabinet behind him which, due to his limited "political" experience, he will listen to.

Having said he has little "political" experience you do not become leader of your party, PM and head of the Banks of England and also Canada without a fair modicum of political knowledge to get those jobs and keep them!

 

Well done Trump and all the best to PM Carney!

Canadians seem excited by the prospect of owning nothing and being happy. Lucky they are an irrelevance on the world stage, like Cuba without the weather.

You sure about that?

 

The economy of Canada is a highly developed mixed economy, the world's ninth-largest as of 2024, and a nominal GDP of approximately US$2.117 trillion. Canada is one of the world's largest trading nations, with a highly globalized economy.

Yes and in this election the small parties were squeezed by the two major parties.

It seems symptomatic of the world today - Polarisation US/ China - Republican/Democrat - Black/White no room for a middle ground. I watch a lot of news channels one of which is Al Jazeera, another is CNN  - CNN have a punch line for a thing called "at the table" - they say it's a place where people with differing political views  "talk to each other" THEY DON'T - they talk AT each other from their own view point. I also watch the BBC which claims to be "unbiased" it isn't it looks at the world from the "western perspective".

 

Polarisation will cause nothing but trouble but I think it's here to stay.

What a ridiculous and non-factual statement.

At least they have a stable leader of their country, while all you have is the idiot Trump!

Which country is better off and happier. 

Go on Canada make the USA one of your provinces!

What's on the agenda now? 100 million Canadians by 2050, 100% green energy, tax the rich?

The ‘word stage’ significance of Carney’s win is he can now pursue his stated aim to align Canada with Europe, the UK Australia and New Zealand and reduce reliance on the U.S.

Nations acting together against U.S. threats rather than individually.

 

As Carney has stated, we are now in a new world order, the response needs to be to that new order.
