Our last great Prime Minister speaks!

Harper swatted down Trump's claim that the U.S. is subsidizing Canada, attributing the "modest trade surplus" to the fact that the U.S. buys so much Canadian oil and gas at a discount to world markets.

"It's actually Canada that subsidizes the United States in this regard," he said.

Harper said the shared defence of North America through NORAD is also not a subsidy. "The United States does that because it's in the vital interest of the United States," he said. "Do you want Canada to be a neutral country?"

Ford furious with the Trudeau liberals for their lack of leadership, something that should not come as a suprise

We need the federal government to step up with a solid plan for securing our border, and to make sure they get their two per cent NATO commitment," Ford said."We heard a number thrown out there, $1.3 billion for our border protection. I have yet to see anything, nothing at all," Ford said, adding that federal Public Safety Minister David McGuinty "needs to come out of hiding" and publicly lay out Ottawa's plan.

They know what kind of dud they have in Pierre Pomeranian.

That’s a really weird article to use for this argument . “See tons of people are getting jobs who were unemployed and being supported by the government , but the wage only grow 2.5% ”

Would you rather have half as many new jobs created but those that were paid 5% more ? Cause overall that’s a lot less “wealth creation” overall

Job creation is awesome; sluggish wage growth is not. That wealth creation is gonna trickle down anytime now, just like Kenney said. Any time now. Annnny time.

This has to be the most myopic, uneducated comment you've made Mel, and that's saying a lot considering the delusional blitz you've been on the last couple days. Talk about living in a bubble, yikes.

It certainly wasn't clear how ideological and misguided he is.

Money is always earned by someone.

Even when you sit at home and cash those goverment cheques, someone earned that, you didn't, some did.

Money well wasted.

Got to start somewhere! But no that's not me, any graphic designer who would accept something for exposure, is probably not the graphic designer i need.

First, it may impact their policy decisions, and two it would reduce the faith in the independence of the central bank. Some semblance of independence is central to a central banks ability to function.

He was independent when he was the governor though. And hilariously, Poilievre is the guy who wants to interfere with the Bank of Canada. Surely you can’t stand that, wouldn’t support that purely based on partisanship?

And there’s no conflict between having been the governor years ago and being the PM today. Those are all entirely ridiculous assertions you ve made there. The best part is, he was appointed by Harper, and everyone thought he did a fine job navigating the Great Financial Crisis. Maybe he drags the Liberals a little to the right, and that’s why the CPC is so worried.

You know why that wasn’t clear though, right? Because he’s a professional. I know it seems bizarre in today’s world, but there are people who can do their job and their entire identity is “F Trudeau” or some other hyper-political view.

You mean the universally-revered leader, respected by even your hero Donnie Trump, who stepped down on her own accord to spend more time with family?

Yeah, attacking her isn't the flex you think it is. But you do you, it's classic Mel.
