I believe that Trump’s idea of taking over Gaza is insane!
Any resolution there at the end of the day should ultimately be between the Israelis and the Palestinians.

(Couldn’t agree more)
Trump will not threaten Canada
These are the people I do call, the half-baked Canadians. U.S. President Donald J. Trump actually likes us Canadians.He just despises Justin Trudeau and his Liberal Party crooks, as they remind him of the malicious DNC in his own country.
With the threat of tariffs on our exports he stirs the dislike of most Canadians against our present federal government. And that is just fine with me.

What an absolute shame Eastern and Central Canadians kept voting for Trudeau. It’s also a shame environmental terrorists care more about whales than humans in B.C. The pipelines through B.C. and Quebec would be finished if Trudeau hadn’t blocked them at every turn and we could have simply shut the taps off to the United States when Trump issued threats. Oh well, you guys elected a clown, OVER and OVER, and now we’re living through his circus … with absolutely no leverage. It’s unreal.

If the US President follows through on his threat to tear up NAFTA, then Canada has a few options.
We can live without being a member of any trading alliance, as we did in pre-NAFTA days, or we can join some other alliance.

The stagnant EU is one possibility, but it represents just 5 per cent of world population, 15 per cent of global GDP, and the war in Ukraine has left many European nations on the verge of a recession.
By contrast, the rapidly expanding BRICS alliance already represents 55 per cent of the world’s population, 42 per cent of global GDP and its members include some of the most robust, fastest growing economies on earth.
True, Canada has foolishly placed itself at odds with BRICS largest members: Russia, China and India. But history has shown that such relationships can be repaired.
Who knows?
It might even give Mr. Trump reason to reconsider his ultimatums.

(We certainly have to expand our trending partnerships somehow.)
