Your views, thoughts or simply opinions. The Economy is not well (understatement). I know there are some here that will try to link the country they are residing in as problems of the USA. Sorry the USA cannot be responsible for 100% of the problems in the world nor should they be expected to help repair all problems.
The Department of Justice has just stated they will release Special Counsel Jack Smith's findings on Donald Trump's efforts to undo the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Did you even read this list?
Have you ever seen anyone being associated with such a list?
People have been sent to jail, for decades, for just #13.
Tell me that it's normal that no one even farts about this.
Ever heard the term "High crimes and misdemeanors"?
That's like 10 on that list. Tell me why this doesn't apply to Trump.
There are going a lot of happy people in Canada when our Prime Minister announces his resignation in about 15 minutes. Canadians are sick of him and the people of the Liberal party are sick of him too. This has been coming for quite a while and things finally came to a head when the deputy Prime Minister/finance minister Chrystia Freehand resigned on December 16.
The end of another Trudeau era. 👍 --------------------------------------- added after 37 minutes

Congratulations to the Candian people ,hopefully you will get a stronger leader that won't hide when a few trucks form a convoy. The writing is on the wall that so many people are so upset and fed up with the way things are going.
You probably think Canadians don't like him, because he's too much to the left, because to you everyone is to the left.
Actually, Justin Trudeau has been very neoliberal, which means liking privatization.
He's like our right-wingers, who destroyed all public ownership and privatized it.
To countries like Canada and The Netherlands, he's to the right.
People are angry at neoliberals, because they solve all problems by making people pay for them privately, instead of solving problems publicly. People are also stupid, because their anger about that makes them turn to the right and vote for conservatives.
Right-wing conservatives make people pay for EVERYTHING privately, and never solve any problems at all. Solving problems is not their thing. They only care about making the rich richer.
If Canada elects a right-winger, they will probably lose their public healthcare, like we did in The Netherlands. They can then expect it to become much more expensive and expect to pay more out of their own pockets.
Looks like perhaps a brighter energy future as well. Which means a better standard of living for all due to reduced energy cost!

yes it's good for Canada.. let's get some oil moving. We have lots of natural gas as well.. you just need to convince your new president that 25% tariffs aren't really a good thing for you as a consumer. It certainly won't bring gas prices down as promised.
I think if the new leader of canada makes a honest effort to fix illegal border crossings, drugs coming over,which are not as bad as mexico but still yet, there is a problem, and if he works with the US about increasing trade, the tariff won't happen. the tariff is supposed to motivate canada and mexico to fix their issues that are affecting the US.
Actually the new leader coming in considers the illegal fire-arms coming North from the US just as a big problem as immigrants going South. So there’s work to be done on your side as well.
If you believe these tariffs are really about the minimal immigrants and drugs from Canada, that is your choice.. I believe it’s just a distraction, like the invasions.. He’s not going to be able to keep any of his campaign promises, but he’s in now.. he doesn’t have to. There won’t be lower prices on food, gas, and housing.. they’re all going to go up.. substantially too.. Tariffs do that.
These tariffs are definitely going to hurt Canada, no doubt, but we survived it last time.. Trump is not only talking of imposing tariffs on Canada and Mexico, but China and Europe as well. That is going to hurt the US economy. I think you’re in for an eye opener. The rest of the world is already exploring new market alternatives. I read yesterday that China is in the process of a billion dollar wheat/soy deal with Argentina, instead of US wheat because they consider Trump too unstable economically to get a deal done.
Yea, and why is it that a short time ago all that money was going to be gone shortly and not enough going in to cover the future retires and such? Just bankrupting it faster is all. Another land mine for Trump to step on. I hope joes dog bites him on the ass every morning till he croaks.
it is good news, but he's shut Parliament down until March, and staying on as interim PM.. probably unfinished business of ripping us off.. numerous investigations against him.
As for leaving? ..after 9 years of downward spiral, everybody has had enough, including his own party. He was forced into stepping down as his party leader. He does not want it ..but has no choice.
let me be very clear.. it will never ever happen.. no offence but most Canadians would consider that a step back.. besides we have a new government coming in that has made that very clear
..but I've heard talk of some blue states up in the north that would consider becoming a province
Yea, i have to say, it mighta scared off castro's baby boy but it is a fantasy for sure. And no real gain. I wonder about what Trump said in his speech this morning about how much we spend to protect canada, had no idea it was up in the billions.
well we all know Trump likes to talk like that.. same as the trade deficit/subsidy thing.. you have to watch what he says.. he likes to spin. I think he means being a part of NATO. Also he forgets that Canada is a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations which has 56 countries in it. The USA is not part of it.
Look who biden is giving medals to,

soros, now what does that son of a bitch need with a US president medal of freedom? he has bankrupted countries, fueled riots and hatred and division all over the world.
If you wondering why Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, flew to Florida to meet Donald Trump, it's because Canada doesn't allow convicted felons into the country.
Uh, not disputing Canada's laws ok.But Trump is not President YET,so he can't make official trips, this was just a friendly visit from castro's boy to beg Trump not to bust the economy of canada. We can drill for our oil if these other countrys don't sell us theirs cheap enough, we can grow our own pine trees, so canada can sit on their lumber. Sell it to us cheaper,or we use our own, control the drugs coming out of your countrys or we make you pay out the ass to sell us anything. problems solved.

Why is it a crime to have friends over? People that consider this a crime are just jealous they don't have that much clout. Besides, Castro's boy went to see him on his own, so if a world leader knocked on your door, would you send him away or invite him in?
Learn something about your own law, please. It's called the 'Logan Act'.
It depends on who the world leader is, if I would let them in.
In any case, the 'Logan Act' wouldn't apply to me,
because I have no access to influence to peddle.
And I'm not an American, of course.
I don't think the logan act would apply here. Trump is authorized. he is President Elect, and a former President.
He is already receiving briefings from the white house to help the transition efforts and etc. So if he is getting top secret intel and all other forms of info from the white house, he apparently is very authorized to discuss his plans once he gets into the white house. The news has not shown us that any documents were signed,no settlements reached.castro's boy went on his own to visit with Trump.
Former presidents have NO OFFICIAL DUTIES.
They do have some special rights, but not to represent America.
He is NOT authorized to do that, until he is inaugurated.
The White House is a NATIONAL political institution.
Trump doesn't have a right to get briefings, but it's customary.
Until he is inaugurated, he has NO RIGHT to represent America.
well, Trump is doing a better job now than biden, Putin wants to sit down and talk about ending the war. Um peace? Odd he needs to talk to someone when he can pull his own troops. but anyhow, there is talk of peace already, talk of canada working on the illegals over their border issue and so on,before Trump even gets in. He has also mentioned getting rid of day light savings time which I fully support. I think day 1 is going to be a great day, can't wait till day 2,3,etc
just going by what i have read on various media sources.Besides, the more I look at it, the more it seems he is just doing what Abe Lincoln did to the southern states back in the 1860's. Killing 1000's just to reassemble a union.
it never occurred to me me to put an American civil war on the list.. mine only had Panama, Greenland, Mexico, Canada and the global economy.. busy days ahead.
also.. I thought your Abe Lincoln analogy might be a little one sided
Trump is not doing ANYTHING YET, because he's not president yet.
He is however, planning to do a lot of horribly damaging things.
You will notice them, as soon as he gets a chance to implement them.
Meanwhile, the Republicans are creating absolute chaos again in their own party, kicking out the umpteenth speaker. And how many of Trump's picks are now associated with crimes, including sex crimes? I lost count.
To add to what list oh you mean the witch hunt list against President trump the one that nothing is proven and charges are being dropped yeah I know about that list what a waste of taxpayer funds --------------------------------------- added after 3 minutes
The Logan law might be the next one we overturn
Just like Meagan’s law now known as MAGA law
it is my understanding that Trump told old castro jr that if his country couldn't survive without ripping the US off for 100 billion in trade deficits then canada could just become the 51 state ! At least the canadians wouldn't need a passport to come down to get healthcare. It is my understanding that alot of dr.s offices up north have canadian cars sitting in the parking lots because they get tired of waiting for the "free" health care.
how long do you wait for a appointment? for example. you are sick and need antibiotics? Or perhaps you have a kidney problem and it could be cancer, how long before you finally get the "free" surgery?
I can’t speak for the whole country.. but for the most part, Canada’s health care is set up like a triage, the more critical your situation is .. the faster you get in. For example.. if I’m sick with the flu and need to see my family Doc.. they can usually book me on within a day or 2, and they’ll tell you if things change or get worse ..to go straight to the hospital to emergency door. But again depending on your ailment, you could sit in the hospital for a few hours., If you go in complaining of chest pain, or it’s something life threatening.. you will be seen immediately.
I’m in my 60’s and have had 4 surgeries in my life.. the longest I had to wait was for wrist surgery.. about 2 months. A friend this summer had his appendix rupture while he was camping. We almost lost him.. He was a couple of hours from a hospital.. but the ambulance came and rushed him in.. He had emergency surgery same day and all was good. His wife will tell you our healthcare is awesome.
I think our healthcare gets a bit of a bad rap.. it’s not perfect, that’s for sure but, it’s not as bad as you think… and it’s free apart from parking, the parking fees go directly to the hospital for snow removal and such. It sure beats the hell out of fighting with an insurance company on whether you’re even covered or not.. after paying into it no less.. and come May 2025, all Canadian households making less than 70K a year get free dental.. yes Free dental.
if it's fixable it would get fixed.. the plan covers everything except cosmetic and implants.. but extractions, fillings, partial or full dentures are all covered including an anesthetic. I don't think pain pills are covered tho.. that's a different plan
Waiting for an appointment at the doctors office? We don't.
If needed, I can see my doctor the same day. If it's serious,
the doctor will visit you at home. My doctor has a bit weird system,
where I just walk into the office at 8:00 and put my name on a list.
Then I can wait until I'm called, or I can just walk back home for a while,
because I live about 500 ft from the doctor's office.
For a kidney problem or cancer, we hardly have any waiting lists.
It only takes the time needed to do the tests and to decide on the treatment.
It was like this when we still had the social healthcare system and that is still
the same under the privatized healthcare system.
What changed was how much we need to pay for it ourselves.
A lot of medication we now pay for ourselves or it's within the deductible.
And dental care is no longer in the basic insurance. There is no use to get insurance for dental care, because the insurance is almost always more expensive than just paying for it yourself, unless you have bad teeth, requiring constant care.
Extractions by a dental surgeon are covered by basic insurance, including the anesthetic. So, everyone is having their extractions in the hospital.
Dentures are also mostly covered. The result is that many poor people just let
their teeth rot away, until they all get extracted in one go and they get dentures.
Well 1 thing is for sure, come January 20th, the democrats will have to get used to calling him the 47th President of the United States. if world leaders want to talk to him, they can come here or talk on the phone. Trump has plenty to do here at home and doesn't need to be going everywhere else.
Did you call Biden the 46th President of the United States?
I can only remember you calling him lots of other terms,
or downright denying he was the president at all.
Democrats have no problem accepting reality, you lot have.
