You are correct Cody! I was watching a special on George Carlin and Richard Pryor.

If Trump were to give orders to invade Canada or Greenland I'm pretty sure that those orders would not be obeyed.

I absolutely agree that Iran is a horrible regime but let's take note of the very obvious; they are out manoeuvring Donald Trump every single day.

On this, the 25th anniversary of 9/11, I want to make sure that everyone knows about "Operation Yellow Ribbon"
I wrote this blog story nine years ago and I don't doubt for a second that Canadians would react the same under similar circumstances today.
Please take a moment to read it and reflect on the historical relationship between Canada and the United States. Tom Brokaw also did a couple of excellent articles about the relationship between Canada and the US as well as operation yellow ribbon.

This is the only time that article 5 of the NATO constitution was instituted:
An armed attack on one NATO country is considered an attack upon them all.
That is how all 30 (at the time) NATO countries got involved in the Afghan war.

Donald Trump's "promises":

$1K savings check from expiring ACA subsidies… Didn't happen
$2K tariff dividend… Didn't happen
$5K DOGE dividend… Didn't happen

And now the latest one from yesterday:

$5K if GOP wins the House and Senate in the midterms… Won't happen.
Not only would these checks not be issued but there's no way the GOP will win both of the House and Senate.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I think you need to broaden your sources of news. If you only get your news from one place you will be unlikely to get the whole story. I heard what you said and I see how you feel but that is not the whole story.

The current CUSMA agreement has three signatures on the bottom. Do you know who signed on behalf of the United States after saying it was a great deal? Of course you do.

That's either very funny or very sarcastic.

What a coincidence, all of America's (former) allies are changing the name of America to Southern Canada!

Will somebody please tell Donald Trump to change the name of New Mexico to New America?

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It's an economic decision to import fishing rods and golf clubs, not a manufacturing issue.

If your goal is to make America stronger it's really hard to see how making your strongest economic partner weaker gets you there. In the case of the United States that actually self-defeating.

OK my fellow old people…
Last night I saw a great concert!
Jefferson Starship
Kansas
Deep Purple

Of course I wore my purple Joe Boxers, a purple T-shirt
and a purple plaid shirt.

Jefferson Starship blew the other bands out of the water! They were amazing.

Hey Greenland, take a break from your Trump bullshit, Canada will do a shift for you! 🇨🇦 ❤️ 🇬🇱

Donald Trump will lose the war with Iraq because he didn't take the time to understand his adversary but Iran did.

... ditto with Canada. Donald Trump never spent any time speculating what Canada might do in response to his war. Prepare for yet another round of TACO.

"Who would have thought Canada would be part of the axis of evil along with China and Iran."

-Canadian reporter

Oh my goodness, Donald Trump said there would be tariffs coming to Canadian products that it didn't happen???? I'm shocked!

It always seems to me and everyone else in the world that whatever threats he utters never come to fruition.

It's like he always chickens out.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Any deal made by anyone with the Trump administration is not a stable deal. It is subject to change at the whim of Donald Trump.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

These firefighters probably flew directly over Washington state to British Columbia with their fires because of the fact that if they were in the US during their small amount of time off out of uniform they might fear getting picked up by ICE agents and end up in jail for doing something for the direct benefit of the American people.
The Canadian government is not "hunting" Mexicans.


As an aside, I saw on CTV news today at a recent pole indicated that 80% of Canadians "strongly agree" that we should send help to the US to help with an emergency situation if we could.

I know how you feel! Last year in Alberta, where I live, the forest fires were especially bad up north and the wind blew all the smoke south. Our air quality index was regularly at 10.

For a while last year on the Weather page on my phone it didn't say sunny or cloudy, it just said smoke!

200 firefighters from Mexico just landed in British Columbia to help with our devastating forest fires in western North America.

They will not be deported. They will be treated with great respect and thanked profusely by the government of British Columbia, the government of Canada and Canadian citizens because that's how good neighbours treat each other.

Why do we allow so many idiots to post idiotic things on the abuse panel?
I just voted the abuse was not valid in the case of someone who has been here for a little over a month put someone up for deletion with no comment and no explanation. I think you should be a member for at least a year before you are able to use this feature.
I am going to add a link to the page but it will probably be gone because I was the fourth consecutive "are you fucking kidding me?" vote in this case.

You're probably right

I flew on Friday and I'm going back today. I did not see her! Too bad.

Here you go. A bit short though. 😀

Will somebody please tell this Canadian why there is never any fraud committed when a republican wins? There is only fraud occurring if a democrat wins!

Crazy eh?

Are you talking about a FIT kit? I live a five minute walk from the biggest hospital within 100 miles so I just pick her up there and then take it right to the lab there.
If you live near a town that has a a medical laboratory you can get it and return it there too.

A friend of mine had a daughter who slammed her door a couple of times and her dad said the next time that she slammed her door it's coming off for the day.
Well it came off for a day and she slammed it again so it came off for a week.
The next time she slammed it it came off for a month. It never got slammed again!

I always fly "Premium Economy" and drinks, meals and luggage are free. I also get to be the first group onto the plane and the first off because I'm in the front.
There is no centre seat just two bigger seats.
After the first time I tried this I really got spoiled. I don't fly often but when I do I want to be comfortable.
I'm flying next week, just a two hour flight but I'll be comfortable.

It's official. Donald Trump has become the deadest duck of all the dead ducks in the history of American presidents.
All those Republican guys retiring have suddenly found a spine and a pair of balls and they are out for revenge…

Maybe she had a prosthetic hand on and took it off when she saw the light flashing.

Not wearing seatbelts didn't hurt anything for decades either. The only issue was that if you got into a car accident you got hurt.
Having worked in Italian/Pizzarestaurants for decades I can assure you that undercooked pizza is not as uncommon as you may think.

I have worked in a lot of Italian/Pizza restaurants in the last 32 years and I have put out a lot of delicious pizzas and none of them have had potassium bromide in them. Its benefits are primarily financial to the business owner, whiter flour, more volume and extra gluten to strengthen the dough.
If these owners of pizza restaurants don't know how to make a pizza without potassium bromide maybe they should consider a career change.

Potassium bromate has not been used as a food additive in Canada since 1994 due to health and cancer concerns.

Well I learned to enjoy playing with balls when I was young and just never stopped enjoying it. 😀

I have my smallpox scar and I loved my clackers and was very good at "clacking".
My friend's family owned a cottage in southern Ontario and we went there every summer between my age of seven and 12 and they always had the mosquito truck. We chased it around every night and nobody batted an eye at it.
DDT is known to be a possible cause of epilepsy, among other neurological disorders. When I was 14 I developed epilepsy and to this day I take medication for it. Of course it is impossible to prove the cause but there were many things that were ruled out as the cause such as tumors, head injuries and hereditary epilepsy.

Google "why do police turn confiscated cell phones onto airplane mode".
I read it but I can't transfer it to here for some reason.

I should show you mine some day.
