The New Coffee Room

Lol, but ouch! That probably hurt for days and ended up a pretty shade of purple.

He’s a good looking young man @jon-nyc

@Horace Wow. Calculus. How excellent. You’re a smart one!

@LuFins-Dad said in Trump and your expectations:

I think clear pardons for any non-violent offenders and case by case beyond that. I actually don’t mind the Gaza stuff, I think I see where he’s going. The Canada thing is weird, but as much as I love Blondie and Renauda (in a hunting and fishing kind of way), I don’t mind the reminder that even our close allies are still competitors and that not all of our goals line up.

Competitors? No, I disagree. We can’t compete with your country. You folks are huge by population, by economics, by manufacturing, by military, by everything. It’s Mr. Trump who’s now making us out to be a “competitor” like it’s a battle or something. To me, our countries have always had a symbiotic respectful relationship.

One of ours was like this. It was always when the other humans were away.

I think it’s all about enjoyment of music and learning something fun from a 6 yr old’s point of view. Something she’ll sit down at not just to practice lessons but to play with, experiment with, develop her ear for, sing with. It was way too formal and painful when I was a kid. That old wooden upright. My 65 yr old friend has a keyboard her daughter once used and I noticed girly pink flower stickers on it. If I had a redo as a parent, sure, why not? It’s all about enjoyment of music.

Your generation will be shaping the future 89th. In your country, in mine, everywhere.

No 89th. Way too many mosquitoes and then, well, there’s polar bears.

@89th Noted. Sorry.

Well good luck to all of you in America. I’m hoping there’s someone in your country who can stifle this man.

@Tom-K Hi
What you said of the cartels and Americans .. I thought the same yesterday. There are many Canucks down there too.

A Leader Supreme. His life goal. Modelled from Putin.
A delusional narcissist.

Sheesh. I gagged a little bit @jon-nyc . Perhaps cancer or something will take both of them out.

@Doctor-Phibes Doug Ford just sacrificed 15,000 souls in Ontario. Let’s hope they get coverage soon. This is likely pennies to Elon. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ford-ripping-up-province-contract-with-starlink-1.7448763

Right now I’m sure Canadian canola farmers are making their decisions of what & how much to plant this year. They will suffer.

I’m just learning how complex the cross border beef industry is too.

@jon-nyc I’m sensing there are many worried Canadians, the newcomers, the under/unemployed, the woke, the young ones, .. they fear the conservatives. Trudeau cradled so many.

@Renauda I’m sure many Canadians on both sides saw Carney speak. Yup, Poilievre should be worried.

@jon-nyc Okay, deal done. Take our Geese. Every single fvcking one!

@Renauda More than likely, I think Trump saw a clip of Mark Carney speaking, and squirreled off reacting, thinking, wanting to engage with him after Trudeau exits. Or perhaps a Canadian bank denied him a loan once, twice, 3x back when and he’s still pissed. As for American banks, they’ve had a presence in Canada since the 1970s, early 80s. My mom (a former Chase corporate lender) helped open their YYC branch. I’d trust our federal government (whoever is running the show) to safe guard our Canadian banking, that includes personal banking. We’ve a pretty solid system. Trump isn’t the only person/country wanting a piece of it.
