But he legalized marijuana and sex with animals! Who cares about the economy or selling chunks of land to china? Those things are only relevant from a white euro centric patriarcal point of view! It’s time to change, and as we all know, ALL change is ALWAYS good, regardless of the outcome, and that’s because it’s 2019.
I hope every Canadian to the right of:“Pumping 5yo boys full of hormones (and taking them away from their family if they disagree) is brave & stunning” is ready to be called a far right nazi for a while.
Sadly true. Most people with brains in Canada are keeping their mouths shut or talking quietly amongst themselves in fear of being completely crucified on social media or elsewhere.
It has definitely gotten my wife and I more firmly on the train of retiring early and getting the heck out of this country in 5 years - too bad we have to wait that long for my early pension.
I had the necessity of visiting the Canadian Office in Taiwan this morning, an ordeal normally preceded by a maximum of dread and trepidation.
Normally any visit to the CTOT that doesn’t conclude with Security escorting one off the premises can be counted as a positive.
My last visit, the officer with whom I was dealing managed to come out with not only the “Sir, I don’t make the rules” but also a “Sir, I’m going to have to ask you to calm down” all within the first 2 minutes of the proceedings. A Personal Best for me up to that point in time, if I do say so meself.
Unfortunately, today, not only did the entire appointment complete with none of the principals becoming even slightly agitated, not only did the agent immediately agree to assist me, I had, in fact, received the requested documentation via email before I even got home.
Interesting stuff about the CTOT. I thought you were updating this thread to comment of Trudeau’s visit to the White House. Interesting exchange between reporters, Trump and Trudeau.
Q Will you help Justin Trudeau get a meeting with Xi Jinping at the G20 next week to talk about the detained Canadians?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well, I don’t know that he’s trying to meet. Are you trying to get a meeting?
PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU: We’ve got a lot of things to discuss.
Q He wants one, but Xi won’t meet with him.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well, otherwise, I’ll represent him well, I will tell you. We have a meeting set up with President Xi, and it’s obviously on the big transaction that we’re talking about and negotiating. Our people are actually speaking now, and we’ll see what happens with that. But anything I can do to help Canada, I will be doing.
Q Are you planning to bring it up with President Xi when you meet with him?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Excuse me?
Q Are you planning to bring it up with President Xi when you meet with him?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: I would. At Justin’s request, I will absolutely bring that up.
Trudeau calling Xi’s office asking for a meeting, and Xi’s staffers replying to him:“Fuck off, little potato” is the most Trudeau thing I can think of.
I love you, man, and Jah knows I’m no fan of Prime Minister Selfie, but if you’re taking joy in a story because Cheeto Jesus and Emperor Pu are the cool guys, well…
Not really, I actually feel bad for the Canadians over in China that have been caught in the middle of this and now are facing a death penalty. Truth is Xi and his regime over in China are brutal, Trudeau decoupled himself from Trump’s admin and China noticed that and took advantage (and will continue to do so as long as a rift is notable).
So, as you say “Emperor Pu” is definitely not in the “cool guys” list. I’m sure Little Potato would be much happier with Obama to deal with. Cheeto Jesus and Trudeau got off on the wrong foot, I think that is something everyone can agree with. Is Trump a “cool guy”? He’s a troll, I think he’s a hard worker, I don’t think I would call President pussy grabber a cool guy though.
According to Trudeau Canada doesn’t have a nationality. No nation??? Then what is the purpose of its constitution? Legal government? How do you expect laws to be respected?
If this is from a long time ago, didn’t he say Canada had no core identity? This is quite different from saying Canada doesn’t have a nationality or nation.
Of course, you may be referring to something different that I don’t know about.
It is a state but not necessarily a nation. A nation is a community of people with the same culture and political identity. If you are interested in the nuances you can google “nation state” and “westphalian sovereignty” and read the Wikipedia pages.
Remember I washed my car in December, then just drove back home, next morning, of course I could not open the doors, it was all frozen. A n00bie mistake, the average Canadian obviously knows that, but a naive citizen from Western Europe did not think through. Still a funny memory though
