    Canada’s nasty. They are. They’re nasty," he said. "I love the people, but they’re nasty. Nasty leadership.

    So you love nasty people, is what you’re saying. We already knew that

      Actually, we’re not nasty. We just aren’t going to back down to a pedophile. And I don’t care what deal is reached, I’m still going to avoid anything American.

      Just because he has a lot of practice doesn’t mean he is good at it.

    Trump is taxing Americans on products coming from Canada. And he’s calling Canada the nasty one?

    Carney’s teleprompter failed at a Canadian speech and he chuckled and said something like “Unlike other world leaders, if the teleprompter breaks, I do not think it is a conspiracy”. Then came the “nasty” comments at LV. Ooohh…trump be fuming because he hasn’t the ability, or intelligence, to come up with a response. Best he can do is schoolyard name calling.

      The big threat was simply a jest referencing Trump. Hit the big toddler’s ego and he throws a tantrum. It’s really that easy.

    I mean, I agree for different reasons. Carney is a useless center-right neolib who only seems to care about oil, Doug Ford is the equivalent of a mob boss who only cares about self enrichment, Danielle gets turned on by JK Rowling’s speeches, and Tiny PP wishes he could be Trump

      Being called nasty by a pedophile

      Reminds me of a quote:

      “Your boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what you cheer for”

        Probably not. But on the upside, because that’s in Metric and not Freedom Units, the bodyguards won’t know where to look for me. They’re search radius will be off.

      As a Canadian, it would be nice to be able to target shoot with larger calibers rifles. Can’t even rent a .50 BMG at the shooting range anymore because of our current government.

      All in the name of public safety, eh.

          Excuse me? I want to use my .22Lr Kriss Vector that I purchased and got to use once before they bloody banned it. Why are you frustrated?

          Also In my original comment i said rent, not purchase, have you ever been to a shooting range?

            Why are you wanting to use an anti-material rifle at a range for?

            Do you enjoy the pain of the recoil?

            Feigned indignation to what a nation deems not necessary for living in polite society is a pathetic excuse for advocating for the civilian use of military weaponry even if you are renting it.

            I agree with you they went too far but saying you want a .50BMG rifle in a civilian role is just insane in my view.
