Sure, just curious...

Well it wasn’t meant as either actually. Just a case-in-point example we could all relate to at this here hockey talk message board.

But it also was most certainly NOT meant as an insult.

You See…..I knew an outright compliment from me to you would flummox you into a medical emergency…..

Interesting - Nevada exporting all of that gold to Switzerland :O

Quietly, DEI has become DEIA.

I guess if you're in a wheelchair you can fuck off with that woke nonsense.

Some folks get it

My experience with foreign aid comes from meetings with CIDA and the Australian Ambassador when I was in Jamaica and then watching foreign aid funded projects unfold in Belize.

CIDA's policy was to spend as much of their Jamaica project budget as they possible could in Canada. All their supplies from stationary to heavy goods was bought in Canada and shipped down on Canadian carriers. Very likely none of it returned to Canada and was gifted to the Jamaican government.

Australia, Jamaica was base to much of their diplomatic work throughout the Caribbean, most of it agricultural programs, a lot of that was advisory or educational funded programs. His biggest role seemed to be announcing loans had become grants at the conclusion of each program.

Belize was interesting as I saw the other side of it. As one put it, Belize's goal becoming an independent nation was to open up wider pool of countries to beg from. The Jamaica Gleaner article on Jamaican independence comes to mind where an official in the British Foreign Office was quoted as saying "we'll gladly give these countries independence once they can speak the language and walk upright. They are costing the British taxpayers a fortune."

A foreign aid project to rebuild a highway would be announced. If work began, it would start in the middle of the stretch of road to be rebuilt. That way if money ran out, and it would as politicians lined their pockets giving themselves the work contracts, and the road not completed, they could always go back and ask for more to finish what had been started.

Democrats Melt Over Trump's First Week

Democrats and members of the media are not alright. Only eight days into the Trump administration and the left is running out of adjectives and Nazi analogies to express their outrage against a White House that is moving at record speed.

Jam-packed panel discussions are littered across shows on CNN and MSNBC of leftists claiming that Trump is deporting grandmothers and rolling back civil rights. Meanwhile, the American people watched rapists, murderers, and violent criminals get rounded up by ICE while illegal border crossings have hit a record low. Hamas is releasing hostages, Russia is talking about ending the war in Ukraine, and Iran is warning its proxies not to provoke the United States.

Hey Democrats, take a breath. You have 1,453 days left in this administration that is doing exactly what a plurality of Americans elected them to do. There’s some grass outside that needs to be touched.

In case you didn’t notice, our good friend Doc is very proud of America, today.

Meanwhile, the MAGAlomaniac POTUS is trying to fuck his country over.

Doc cleaned his local Pharmasave out of the their KY.

He ready for Trump.

Trumpy Poo?



Canadians will vote Conservative in response.

Trumpy Poo will be gentle with Conservative Canada.

If that is the case, and I saw a similar story last week so I'm not convinced,

Diplomacy from those in power vs the pandering he received from Trudeau.

Smith arrived with an agenda and a well thought out way to present the mutually beneficial relationship and where there are imbalances.

Trudeau's trip was a sudden knee jerk attempt to shmooze form a neutered lame duck who has spent years bad mouthing Trump in a feminine lisp.

Trump Tariffs still on the books for February 1st

https://globalnews.ca/news/10981769/tru ... ite-house/

Speaking at the first press briefing of the new administration, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said she had discussed the issue with Trump and does not believe the president has wavered from the Feb. 1 start date for those tariffs.

“As far as I’m still tracking, and that was last night talking to the president directly, Feb. 1 is still on the books,” she said.
