You made a fairly innocent mistake and got booed. Happens to all of us. Own it. Admit you blew it - don't pretend like you were calling Trudeau a cat lol. Literally not one single person believes you.

Canada's media: Trudeau's visit to Trump front page news all day. Praised
US's media: Trump being visited by Trudeau an unimportant side note

This. When people find out I am Canadian I am usually asked about maple syrup or hockey. Now that Trudeau is the PM, I also receive comments about how lucky Canadians are to have a real statesman in charge.
After this morning, I had a lot of friends express in no uncertain terms that they wouldn't kick JT out of bed for eating crackers, and how lucky I was to have a 'hot' PM, even though I've been in the US for over a decade and really have no clue what's going on in Canadian politics..

Gotta love when lawmakers don't hide how they really feel about women.

Quote:
“I believe one of the breakdowns in our society is that we have excluded the man out of all of these types of decisions. I understand that they [women] feel like that is their body. I feel like it is a separate — what I call them is, is you’re a ‘host.’ And you know when you enter into a relationship you’re going to be that host and so, you know, if you pre-know that then take all precautions and don’t get pregnant. So that’s where I’m at. I’m like, hey, your body is your body and be responsible with it. But after you’re irresponsible then don’t claim, well, I can just go and do this with another body, when you’re the host and you invited that in.”
And even better, this law they're trying to pass that would require a woman to give her doctor the name(s) of her sexual partner(s) and then get his written consent to obtain an abortion, the claim that it originally was about keeping men responsible, but nope, they took that part out of the bill.

Quote:
In an interview with The Intercept, Rep. Humphrey said the initial aim of the bill was to ensure fathers paid child support, but that language, he said, was removed from the bill.
So much for taking responsibility, that part is only for the woman to worry about, I guess.

So we're just openly shaming women for having sex, and treating them as subhuman incubators. Lovely! It's always good to know that corpses and fetuses have more bodily autonomy than do living women.

Crazy story. I wonder if the Donald would have cared about the Russian ties if the FBI and others hadn't threatened to expose the lies.

If the intelligence services ever actually do discover Trump himself has ties it's gonna get real crazy!

I would be shocked if Trump wasn't involved. He's the one who had the most to gain. Flynn is the fall guy IMO.

Rumours as Flynn was in trouble suggest it might be Petraeus who replaces him. He just keeps hiring the best people.

Buried further in the bill -- host will go to prison if she refuses to get an abortion if the man demands it.

Haha, what a s--t show. Can't wait to see how Spicer, Kellyanne, and Miller try to spin this. Only three weeks in and this administration continues to find new ways to embarrass itself every single day.

Wonder if Trump is crazy enough to put Bannon in the position.
