Changed the subject to reflect your preference. The attached reflects the current contents of the cabinet in my hangar at the airport. We Canucks are a welcoming bunch...

Typically Balvenie, Oban, Dalwhinnie, Yamazaki, and Glen Livet, yes. Hot chocolate? Not so much.

A real-world example of the difference is attached. Pay particular attention to the vocabulary. Quoting USA Today this morning: "This was the same phone call, right?"

Canuckian, if I recall correctly. Yes. Still here. 6 episodes a week. link: (NSFW) http://www.nakednews.com/

I didn't suggest anything about a dairy subsidy. I'm not defending our system. Honest debate does also require admission of the detrimental results of unrestricted American over-production; potential dumping of surpluses into foreign markets and the artificially forced suppression of domestic prices. That is correct. Canadians do pay more. Not Americans. Is the suggestion that messing with Canada's dairy regulatory system and demanding greater access to our market is an act of American benevolence?

Don't think Trump hasn't noticed! He's got you in his sights now: "Canada has made business for our dairy farmers in Wisconsin and other border states very difficult. We will not stand for this. Watch!" We've dealt with ignorance and hostility from some folks in your nation long before the arrival of the Bronzed Buffoon. A couple of simple little facts: there are more dairy cows in the state of Wisconsin than there are in all of Canada and Canada imports 5X the amount of dairy products than we export. source: http://www.dairyinfo.gc.ca/index_e.php?s1=dff-fcil&s2=imp-exp&s3=bal And as of this morning, we're back to the game we call "Lies, lies, and more damned lies". "U.S. Imposes 20% Tariff On Canadian Softwood Lumber" source: http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2017/04/24/softwood-lumber-tariff_n_16219018.html Hang on a minute. Could the American's actually be mistaken? Again? "Both resolution panels from the World Trade Organization and under the North American Free Trade Agreement had found that Canadian softwood lumber production is not subsidized" source: http://globalnews.ca/news/3399952/reality-check-does-canada-subsidize-softwood-lumber/ A fairly accurate timeline of the history of the softwood lumber dispute can be found here: https://tinyurl.com/qdbrmda

Who TF is Tammy Larsen? She's a 24-year-old provocateur that gets around. Seen on FOX, CNN and across the internet... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomi_Lahren In the news: https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2017/04/10/tomi-lahren-sues-glenn-beck-alleging-retaliation-over-abortion-views.html

Sure, and many of them are employed as comics, comedy writers, actors or hockey players. They depart for purely economic advantage. Do you know Canadians who emigrate south for political reasons? Perhaps I'm mistaken - wasn't that the primary theme in the article?

"According to records from Canadian Immigration and Citizenship, applications from Americans to acquire Canadian citizenship have more than tripled in the last 20 years. But no one can definitively say why, because the Canadian and US governments don’t track motives for immigration and emigration. Michael Niren, a Toronto-based immigration lawyer, doesn’t attribute the trend to political action. But a graph of citizenship application numbers would show definite spikes in some politically significant years: 2001, when Bush was elected president; 2003, when the US invaded Iraq; and 2007, during the US housing market crash and recession. Perhaps Trump’s tenure will cause another spike in 2017." source: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/apr/19/americans-move-canada-trump-bush-immigration

I was hanging out in my hangar this morning with the news on in the background. Here are a pair of images taken within moments of each other. Canada's CTV and USA's CNN were both addressing "BREAKING NEWS!"

So, you're equating Quebec City to Mosul or Kenya (et al)? It appears you have engaged simply to be contrarian. Thank you, no. I'll pass.

I wouldn't be so hasty to accuse Jakee of trolling. I watch satellite television news from the USA (CNN & Fox), the UK (BBC), and of course my own country (CBC & CTV) faithfully. In my opinion, the attack in London (4 deceased, 31 seriously injured) received significant attention in the USA, with constant updates breaking in on the steady diet of navel-gaze live feeds broadcasting the Supreme Court confirmation hearings and the House Intelligence Committee interrogations in DC. I contrast that with the very modest response from the US media immediately following the terrorist attack in Quebec City eight weeks ago (6 deceased, 19 seriously injured). Another interesting difference is; London - dark guy killed white people. Quebec - white guy killed dark people. A further subtle difference snub that probably went unnoticed outside of Canada, the US President reacted immediately to the London incident with public statements and personal call to the British PM. In Canada, we were honoured to receive... oh yeah, the President didn't respond at all.

Not "everyone." +1

Witness some of the quite undiplomatic language coming out of the UK today: This, from Sir Malcolm Rifkind, the former chair of British Parliamentary intelligence and security committee, speaking to BBC Radio; “That’s just foolish and very dangerous stuff and President Trump better get a grip not only on his own press officer but on the kind of encouragement being given in the White House that makes a press officer make these stupid allegations in the first place." Followed by this; Tim Farron, leader of the Liberal Democrats, described Spicer’s repetition of the claims as “shameful” and said Trump was “compromising the vital UK-US security relationship to try to cover his own embarrassment” source: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/mar/17/white-house-will-not-be-repeat-claims-gchq-spied-trump-?

Thank you. Any secondary sources with a better record of journalistic credibility?

Can you provide supporting citations for the three allegations please? Thanks.

I guess they are not counting the ones launched outside the USA? Canada’s top court on Thursday upheld a lower court ruling in favour of investors who had launched a lawsuit alleging they were misled by U.S. President Donald Trump and a real estate development firm. more here: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/supreme-court-wont-hear-appeal-by-donald-trump-developers/article34247382/

I didn't know about this appointment. I thought he was a very decent candidate when he ran briefly for the party nomination back in 2012. He has served under both Bush's & also Obama. What are your issues with him in this new posting?

There is literally nothing in the world that Trump could do that would change the fact that he beat Hillary, and that's all that matters to Ron. His actions other than that mean nothing. It's just my opinion, but after numerous polite face-face conversations this winter with Trump-supporting jumpers in Eloy, I think a significant portion of his 46% crowd qualify for a similar assessment.

Pardon the interruption, but I must respond to that specific question. Both US Customs & Border Protection and US Border Patrol demand proof(s) regularly. Far exceeding issues of legitimate national security that the average US citizen likely thinks/believes.
