USA Political Discussion Thread 2025

[carvesg]

Work out this deal and immediately start making plans for a pipeline to the east coast whether Quebec likes it or not, so we no longer are restricted to selling our oil to the US at a discount price and if tariffs are threatened in the future we have other markets to sell it to.

How many times will people have to say ? Only one refinery can handle WCS in the east and it's Irving in New Brunswick.

Alberta would have been able to sell their pipeline project back in the 80s if they would have processed themselves their WCS to light crude , keep the by product to sell and ship what the rest to the refineries back east are equipped to process ( light crude) . It was discussed in the 80s to no avail....nope the mentality seems to be.... You get what i want to sell you and ship you ; which since has became ...we will bypass your refineries little people of Ontario and Quebec to send it to Irving in NB . That's the eastern view on that .

Same attitude with the trans mountain pipeline and its heavy WCS bitumen that bc refineries are not equipped to process and is environmentally risky in case of a spill on the coast from a tanker. The approval process could have been so much smoother if Alberta would process what people want and need but they prefer selling at a discount to subsidiaries or head office in the US.

No premier or PM in 30 something years has forced the oil sand companies to refine some or all their heavy crude for shipping and it is still not in the plans . Nobody will tell me that it was not or still not feasible

maybe you proved their point ,,, can they spell she/her, they /them

Literacy as nothing to do with gender classification.

Literacy leads to acquire knowledge easily and helps retaining a higher percentage of what you learn which allows you to make better informed decisions ... Not always a guarantee of a better outcome but normally it is ...

With the US withdrawl from WHO, I can see panedemics creeping up in the world. Not just Covid, but Ebola and other stuff like measles, chickenpox, which were eliminated with vaccines. With antivaxers not vaccinating, it leads the rest of us to exposure. What is not getting vaccinated today, will likely creep into the world in 5 to 10 years.
The elimination of aid/funds to 3rd world countries means that those people will try to get to the US. So check your ports for foreign nationals. Somehow I think the aid was to keep those countries stable or paid off (like the barbarians of the Roman Empire). Lets see what happens.

Again the tariffs will be to Canada's benefit, to help make Canada more self-sufficient.

A crazy billionaire and a bunch of kids are hijacking the US government. What a motherfucking surreal mess that country is in.

This is not going to end well.

If you had Canadians who could do my job, I wouldn't be here. My employers are required to submit labor assessment surveys that show there are not enough qualified Canadians in the workforce to perform the functions required by my job. They always make sure to highlight that delays in hiring me would cost them money and potentially lead to them divesting from the market place. 🤷‍♂️

Trump is now telling those in Gaza to leave and not come back. The US is going to take over the strip and turn it into a resort.

Looking forward to the ethnic cleansing meme coin.

Depends which dictionary you use. From what I understand, Webster hated the Brits and so decided to change the spelling of words to make writing them more 'efficient'.

No need to defend your misspelling.

Which is why I referenced the British Oxford dictionary, straight from your lords and masters. 😉

And, as usual, Americans use the spelling straight from the original Latin, which the Brits themselves were using through the middle ages. He didn't have to change the spelling at all. He just used the original base that the British themselves also used for a long time.

So, as I always say, get mad at the British for that.

Now we're like a nice apartment over a fucking insane asylum.

Gaza-Lago. It’s going to be beautiful. Lots of sun, flavourful food, golf courses, history, etc. Can’t wait to sign up for a time share.

And here I was expecting another 2-state non-starter outcome that hasn’t ever worked and likely never will. Probably just a starting position in this case, and surely has the region’s leaders WTF’ing worse than Turdeau and the Premees on tarrifs. This one’s going to be interesting.

Several different sources....one a report from border patrol part of a video...it had different numbers than in this Toronto Sun report probably because this one was based on a fiscal rather than a calendar year.

I get it. You are a dedicated California Democrat. Anything outside your mainstream media sources which lied to you about Bidens mental capacity for more than 4 years is not valid and you will still keep the faith.

oh and while Im at it this is the party you support and the basic reason why Trump won the election......found a site which shows clips from the DNC election for Party Chair hosted by MSNBC. It is hilarious that the party of identity politics with ludicrous voting rules even they do not understand ended up electing two straight white males as chair and vice chair and the party of defund the police needs the police to throw out all the protesters.

Its a clown show reminiscent of a high school election. Luckily you guys will NEVER learn and will continue to lose. You will continue to believe that Kamala lost because of racism and misogyny when it was just because she was an unlikeable terrible candidate who had no actual vision and just promised more of the previous 4 years and could not ever answer even a softball question. Trump was handed the Presidency.

The host's laugh is annoying...luckily most of the time she keeps quiet.

I believe the Dems lost because of Pub cheating, so there goes your theory. Too many burning ballots , disqualifications and the hack of the voting machines....its all really fishy. I'm hearing things.

Oh, yeah, much better to have this kind of screaming, deranged harridan in charge of anything.

Elon is now rummaging through everyone’s personal tax records.
He’s leading the charge against….unelected bureaucrats.
Ah the irony.

Does it remind you of a certain German party modus operandi from the early 30s ?

They keep picking from the same play book anyhow

Im sure youd like everyone to just pretend nothing is happining and keep their mouths shut so your chosen masters can abuse the system without molestation.

But shes just the start; suggest you get some noise cancelling headphones if you want to maintain your blissful ignorance.

Suggest you seek her out as a mate. Listening to that voice should drive you further over the edge.

The world has to ask why not one Arab, Muslim, Middle East nation wil take in Palestinians, or allow them citizenship. Keeping them in constant poverty, and allowing Hamas to launch attacks on Israel seems to be their preference over Palestinians ever developing Gaza into something resembling a functioning state.

All the crazy shit happening down in the US with Emperor Musk and the people on this board are insulting each other??? For heaven's sake, look at what Trump is allowing Musk to do.
