Messrs Chrétien and Harris are absolutely correct.
Canada needs its CANDU nuclear technology and must keep foreign interlopers (🇺🇸) out of that sector.

I love the whole "I don't have kids in school anymore, I shouldn't have to pay taxes that go to the public school" argument from people.
It's the classic "I got mine, fuck you."
I have no kids.
I never want kids.
Take more of my tax money and put it towards schools and not cops.
Thank you.

Noel Casler worked with Trump for years:
"Trump snorted Adderall all thru the day on ‘Apprentice’ he also ate UK. Sudafed like candy. But at night & at parties he switched to cocaine & high-end Methamphetamine that was hand-delivered by Bikers. The point is he was always high. That hasn’t changed."

I bought in. I always remember the story told by Catherine Ford (a former journalist with the Calgary Herald) about having a chance to invest in "Trivial Pursuit" when it was in its infancy and she turned it down. I don't want to be telling a similar story when Gander takes off.

Free trade was sold as prosperity. Forty years later, we’ve lost industries, leverage, and much of our say.
If a deal isn’t worth the paper it’s written on, why act bound by it? #cdnpoli
