Much more likely he views her as just another visitor from Canada who has come to kiss the ring.

Both things can be true.

Yes, but you are giving one hell of a benefit of the doubt to Trump.

Will you guys be able to get 3 more pages out of Trump's two trolling sentences about Canada?

That would be easy if a survey came out that 60% of Trump voters were in favor of invading and annexing Greenland and Canada.

I can try...
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

51st state thing?  Whatever.

But he's repeatedly threatened to put 25% tariffs on Canadian goods - which would drive us into an immediate recession.  Forgive me if I'm not concerned about that.

Remember that picture of my Premiere I posted?  She even said "get ready for the tariffs" after meeting Trump.

I don't believe that he understands that Canada has provinces.  He keeps talking about all of Canada as "the 51st state."



This is a picture of Trump with Danielle Smith, Alberta's Premiere (and also Kevin O'Leary).

So I think he knows we have provinces - he just likes to annoy us.

I'm not going to pretend that Trump knew who Smith was - but 100% he knows who O'Leary is.  He's a fellow reality TV host with a similar gimmick to Trump.

I think that boat accident already kind of removed any doubt that should've never been there in the first place.

Hopefully Sunday's ceasefire will stick and the suffering can be diminished, though Hamas' 'surrender' is 15 months too late.

Shows you what a doubly evil organisation it is, to carry out the first massacre, knowing full well BB's revenge would be brought down upon their own Palestinian neighbours, killing in untold numbers.

:unsure: Not sure that tells me that I should think more poorly of O'Leary, who I already don't like.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Yeah, I think what's happening here is Canadians heard a lot leading up to the trial about how horrible the O'Leary's were. But it turned out that the evidence supported that this was just a terrible accident and that regrettably the victims of the accident had a significant role in causing it.

BB may not have read the whole article before posting it.

I think you're on to something. I read the whole article and just kept waiting for the other shoe to drop and excoriate O'Leary.

Then the article ended.
