    Lol. Funny. But the alcohol I like is made in Canada. The "Trappist" ales that come out of Quebec, the rye whiskey that comes right out of Alberta, for examples.

    Sadly, I can't drink much anymore.

    Everyday is an adventure. I’m trying my best to just let it ply out because Trumps policies will hurt his voters and red states the most but sometimes it’s just too hard not to remind everyone Trump is nothing more than an idiot with a fat mouth.

    The talk a bunch of shit and apologize president.

    Except our economy isn't going to collapse, and our govt debt load is much lower then yours now. Face it Americans are weak when it comes to austerity. We are going to squeeze Trump until he squeals or drops dead.

    You want to kill your auto industry go right ahead.

    We already took all the US alcohol off the shelves in Ontario. So no need to send any.

    Not to worry. Trump and his buddies will be spinning it as "Recession is good".

    This is what his apology looks like.

  8. Bullshit. He tried to get along, even when Trump was being unreasonable. Because it was for the good of his country to do so with its largest trading partner. He kept his ego out of it. But when he realized that Trump was just gaslighting him with the fentanyl premise he realized that mere diplomacy wouldn't suffice and called him out with a proportionate response.

    Are you so thick to have missed that?

    And speaking of egos, it is in your country's interest to protect Ukraine, but evidently, Zalenskyy bruised Trump's overripe ego with facts and so he had a conniption.

  9. Heh, and when Trump took him to task earlier at Mar-A-Largo he also had "a proportionate response" which was to resign.

    Maybe you missed that.

    Justin Trudeau, pussy incarnate.

  10. Doof.

    He saw the writing on the wall, and saw that it was in his party's interest at that point that he step down. I regret his decision but it was a selfless one. Selfless: a word Trump knows nothing about. J6, anyone?
