Trump terminates trade talks with Canada because of Ontario anti-tariff ads

When he's gone, who's next? Is Trump a moment or the beginning of an era? You think JD Vance doesn't have plans to be the next President? I think its dangerous to assume things will all go back to "normal" in another 3 years.I think we're dealing with a President who has belligerent intentions towards Canada and is constantly looking for excuses to escalate. It may get much worse before it gets better.

Conservatives eager for election. Who knew?They've been eager since they lost the last two.

The big rant is nothing more than a huge mis-direction to take peoples' mind of the other disasters unfolding under his "leadership". Health care, housing, environment, education etc.Electing judges sounds great, but what does it really mean? It means Ford wants to politicize the appointment of judges to bring it under his control and to turn it into a partisan battleground. Just like it is in the US. Just like he's trying to do with strong mayor powers - another copy of dysfunctional US institutions. There's no benefit to the community, only to big money who want to control everything and who use Doug Ford as their populist front man.In general judges do an excellent job working in an antiquated, overloaded and grossly under-resourced justice system that cannot possibly deliver what its supposed to. Partisan politics will not fix this.

The numbers aren't surprising. Nobody on the planet believes Doug Fords lies about why he's calling the election. The party faithful will toe the lie of course, but the rest of us aren't stupid enough to believe it. It's a waste of $200 million bucks on a power grab. Plain and simple.

How's that working for Doug Ford now that all trade negotiations are terminated?

Your memory is defective JJ. Or inventive. Prior to the US election in November the vast majority of polls said it was too close to call. Here's an interesting article. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj4x71znwxdoAlthough last November here polls were showing a commanding lead for Poilievre, who seemed to be a shoo-in for next Prime Minister. Maybe they're as inaccurate as you say.I don't buy this conspiracy theory about Village Media's liberal bias. "As we all know" lol! Just the usual right wing trash-talking about news media.

Ford uttered threats. A serious criminal offense.He should be arrested, charged and jailed until trial.

I don't like my tax money being wasted on an utterly unnecessary election. This "mandate" thing is pure baloney, and everyone knows it.I'd rather see the election held at its scheduled date. That way if Doug is doing a lousy job dealing with Trump we can get rid of him, and if he's doing a great job he can win a third term. Why commit to another 4 years now?

Doug Ford does not represent 90% of The People. Don't fool yourself like he does.

Your propaganda on Canadian forests is incorrect. They are in fact net emitters of carbon.

The deficit and the carbon tax are Trudeau policies. The Finance minister can't control the Prime minister's decisions. You may have noticed she recently resigned her position due to Trudeau's policies.For instance who would you blame for Ontario going into debt a further $3 Billion to mail out vote-buying cheques? Doug Ford or his Finance Minister? (Bet you can't name the FM without looking it up)

Whether Ford insists or not, the claim he needs an election to get a mandate is a lie. Pure and simple.And just cuz you say it over and over doesn't make it the truth. We all know what the truth is.

Chump change for President Musk. He couldn't care less about $100 million. This is a futile gesture that only hurts people in remote communities. The money (and more) will just end up in the hands of Rogers and Bell anyway.

Absolutely no connection to Trump whatsoever. That's just ludicrous.

We should trust anti-Liberal propaganda on Elon Musk's X. Its all factual and unbiased after all. No foreign influence trolls there.(sarcasm)

Russia has a very radical and strong leader. Are Russians better off? It's great if you're an Oligarch I suppose. The rest of them don't have much say in determining their own fates - its "do what you're told or be killed".
