The broligarchs are right here my guy.

Come on, you can’t be that ignorant. These are not the global elitist’s I’m referring to, obviously. These are self-made billionaires from business, they’re not getting wealthy from tax dollars from climate carbon scams, or trying to shutdown farming around the globe, or destroying the petroleum industry, or laundering money through Ukraine, or forcing unnecessary vaccines on the public.

Nah, they're just tech billionaires that pay to get access to the president, set their own rules, tax breaks and control information.
Nothing to see here. Just a couple of good old self made business men.

You’re missing the point entirely, or just ignoring it because you also will just argue anything against Trump.

American middle class voters didn’t vote to stop massive amounts of tax dollars from flowing into Tesla, Google, Amazon or Facebook, they voted to stop the flow of American tax dollars flowing overseas to organizations run by elitists, or to immigrants who were getting $6000 a month while they struggled with their bills.

Bezos did a 180 on Trump. Was against him last run. His Washington Post printed more bullpoop russiagate fake news than anyone and that had a huge influence on the election.

hahahaha 18 years of ice making in Operations and many job offers south of the border little champion...NHL facilities too. But, above your head all good. There is demand everywhere for properly trained folks with all their ice tickets...but excellence isn't really something I'm sure you can comprehend driving an electric vehicle...

It was looked at before but they just aren't cost effective yet or have the kinks worked out. But hey...bring up a climate change narrative...that should work lol.

Dude comparing the two is illogical. When I was in operations with the municipalities we looked at moving to electric ice machines but similar to road vehicles the kinks just aren't going to be worked out for years and again they just aren't cost effective or doing anything better for the 'environment' lol like you have been brainwashed to believe. In actuality...electric vehicles have a larger carbon footprint globally based on the mining and what it takes to make and maintain them. But it's not your narrative I get it. You actually believe the climate crisis exists so you are just one of the millions that have been duped. Literally everyone I know who bought in to the electric vehicle fad is going back to gas-powered vehicles. It's a phase that will die out. There is a reason why the big 5 vehicle manufacturers are rolling back their electric car divisions by the billions...uptake is getting so low as folks aren't buying into the bullish!t any longer. It's all unfolding either you can see it for what it is or just continue to be duped like you have been for apparently so long lol

Some facilities have gone to electric ice machines yes but most have the infrastructure and cost/budgets to maintain them. They require a sh!tload of maintenance and battery replacement costs are still through the roof just like road vehicles. And I think like road vehicles it's a small fad that will die off.

hahahaha remember in the late 70's with the Global Cooling climate hoax scare which never came about? All the Hollywood types and Political pundits were lobbying against 'Global Cooling' including that idiot David Suzuki. Another climate scam that never came true...

Being in Mexico the last 4 months living amongst them it's clear most Mexican's do not like Americans due to their arrogance and how they are treated. When I tell people I'm from Canada I always get a smile.

They ask me what I think of the US tariff threats I said as long as we (CAN/MEX) keep working together we'll be okay.

Ship Mexican goods by sea and vice versa, they have amazing busy ports on the east and west.

This sh*t show will end up hurting the US if it goes through, I hope it does.

I think some are finally waking up to reality, that we must diversify, and come together as one against a common foe. First Nations being one of those groups.

This is very encouraging news…

I'm no Trump fanboy, he's clearly a flawed human being, we all are, but you can't argue with his love of country. He's a political outcast who can't be bought, that's, in part, why the establishment hates him so much.

As for the "convicted felon" moniker, what a bunch of complete BS. He was convicted of falsifying business records for lying about banging a porn star and then paying her to shut it. Even respected Democratic senator from Pennsylvania John Fetterman said it was complete BS and politically motivated weaponization of the DOJ. Had it not been Trump these charges would never have been brought forward. He banged a porn star, he didn't murder anyone.

Can't make 'er up dude.

So good to see him pull out of the Paris Climate accords and the WHO hopefully Poilievre does the same.

Within the next decade Canada will cease to exist, it will become three or four nations. Unless it becomes part of the United States to form a super nation.
