Not Mr President Not President Trump Alternative to being disrespectful it could also be seen as 'hey, we're buddies, so we are on a first name basis' lol Edited November 30, 2018 by Shift-4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 One thing I noticed in the signing of this new deal, Trump didn't look happy signing it, while Trudeau look happy and the Canadian lady behind Trump looked very happy. Must be a good deal for Canadians.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was another one from Real Time that I liked: "Orange Julius Caesar", which was coined by one of Maher's guests, a black guy with a big 'fro, who is professor at some university .... ...that being said I can lay claim to "Captain Combover" which is my own contribution to the cause. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other two guys in the back are the lead negotiators for the US and Mexico, Robert Lighthizer and Ildefonso Guajardo. They're the ones who did all the real work and it's why they all look happy, especially Freeland, who proved to be the equal (or better) of her counterparts and gave up very little. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Trump also make some remarks about her at one point too? I'm sure she hates being in the same room as that man (I use the term loosely). Like most sane women would.

This has to be the defining moment of the entire G20. Two thugs high fiving, and getting their jollies with each other. Kinda like, hey you did it, I didn't think you had it in you. Meanwhile the worlds greatest leader ever, won't even meet with these two, and call them both out. Wonder why??

Aguila Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) 12 hours ago, Warhippy said: That shows growth. After numerous drops in stock prices and the market as a whole it shows growth. That is inarguable. The line now is higher than it was in 2008. The subsequent rises and falls show retraction followed by growth So, flat? Not hardly. A poor market to invest in? Sure. But, and this i a very very important thing to remember. The market is not indicative of the growth of this nation but a snapshot of the day for companies listed on it. ALL of the essential canadian services have grown since 2008. Nobody invests in the TSX for the same reason people don't invest in coal anymore. Markes that don't tend to make appreciable gains, like the TSX are never sound investments. The TSX has always fluttered between 15 and 23 on the indexes with occasional month to month blips but nothing worth speaking of. You're really arguing in to a corner on this one. Sorry. No growth for us. Investors will often invest in the index of a particular country if they like that country's prospects. The tsx composite index hit a high in june 2008 of 15155. Today it dropped below 15140. The US DOW hit a peak in October 2017 of 14198 today it's 25138. That's a gain of 77%. There is no way to sugar coat that aspect. But as I admitted previously, maybe selling our homes to foreigners is a viable way to keep our economy moving, or maybe it's like burning the furniture to keep from freezing. Trudeau needs to lay pipe and lots of it. Edited December 1, 2018 by Aguila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the radio yesterday farmers were talking about the US having oversight in our dairy industry. I'm hope that isn't true, as of yesterday there was conflicting stories on that.

I wasn't aware of what you just posted but yes I agree during negotiations these comments are totally unnecessary but not surprising. I'm not at all a liberal supporter but I do have a lot of respect for Freeland. @Jimmy McGill and I have discussed her position/work thus far a few times. Imo she would make a better Prime minister then the one we have. Edited December 1, 2018 by Ryan Strome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has more of a get it done type of attitude and I think she'd be able to accomplish some social goals (e.g., wage equality) in ways that involved less public signaling over it. I think most people are OK with the things Trudeau has done on social policy when you look at the ideas individually, but there can often be something very annoying about how he presents it, even for me and I'll vote for him again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
