CTV heralds Carneys “strategic partnership with Sweden “

Oh please. Carney has his wife at the UN speaking for “ children”.

But this is the truth :” King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden has no formal political or executive power; his governance authority is solely ceremonial and representative. Sweden is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy, where all political power rests with the people, the Parliament (Riksdag), and the government led by the Prime Minister”

This “ mini me Trumpism” of Carney et famille is tiresome.

Don’t even start me on Minister Jolys “ economic benefit “ of a Saab warplane over the F35 .

I drive a Saab. Good car. Bankrupt company. Which has as much to do with anything, as these bloviating liberal laurentian elites have, on Canadian defense policy

Carney is playing the US file horribly. Our believed 'moral superiority' over the United Stated will hurt Canadian workers short and medium term. Just honour the F35 contract and move on

I also believe that if we continue down this path of horrible economic, defence and foreign affairs mismanagement, Canada will likely become part of the United Sates. Trump will be long gone but some president in the future will view Canada as a national security threat. A bullet won't be fired.

Agreed! Can we just get the F35 already!!

Drugs law are racist ?

BC politicians are … beyond reason.

They are insane in that province!

Im saving up to buy a Lilley subscription. Im retired in rural

Ontario but poor Brian lives in Toronto with 30% or more property tax increases.

But my post Now is on “racism”. Not drugs that’s absurd.

Racism in my lifetime :

Australia. “ white Australia “ immigration policy in the 1950’s. Aussies hated “”damned pommies “ ,”useless Italians “ and despised bloody Abo’s . The Australian wine industry is now a marvel worldwide.

Malaya ( as it was then) Malays hated the Chinese. ( Malays were typically lazy and laid back. Chinese hardworking and industrious and made Singapore a jewel.

Oh Canada.

English Canada abused French Canada with relentless perfidy. “ Pepsi’s”.

The terrible assassination of a Quebec minister was a direct result of vicious racism imho.

Typical Montreal west island young males spent Friday nights chasing “squaws” on the south shore Kahnawake Mohawk Territory

Then in Ottawa Ontario the Canadian reaction to the Lebanese Syrian heritage of Paul Anka was only positive when he became a USA pop star. Residential Ottawa was a racist cess pool at that time.

Of course we could discuss Japanese and Chinese internment in Canada.

Drugs. Sure

It could be argued that FN kids are guilty of cultural appropriation, and drugs are a non-FN thing at the production end. Lunacy ,meet insanity.

John Powell's avatar

Lunacy meets insanity. Good line. I’ll use it with permission

They have a lot of delusional people in high places in BC. Enabling addicts to continue their habit is not what they need. They need rehabilitation to help them get off drugs.

Trudeau broke this country and Carney is just continuing with the assault.

Wow-it seems that many detest our next door neighbor, the USA. Some indisputable facts people.

First USA is a Republic, not a constitutional monarchy, so there is ZERO comparison. Next, USA has a Constitution which has been upheld in most of the USA's history. Try reading something other than the CBC, Toronto Star, Canada's so called Charter of rights is not worth the paper it is printed on, and try searching out the Canadian Constitution Foundation , for one. USA has a population of 350 million people. Their voting system is completely different than ours-they hold elections known as mid terms every 2 years. They have an electoral college. Canada has a population of 41 million. we have elections, how about every 10 years-according to which party has at least 51% of the vote. and I am likely wrong on that-so do some research if you care. USA has two parties Democrats (left) and Republicans (right). in other words Democrats and Liberals-much the same values, etc. include NDP, and Green in that bunch. Quebec is different-and I won't even go there. And, as for colonialism by that woman-whomever she is-she is out of her league and has no clue what she talks about, period. Thanks Brian Lilley for your great work. Too bad that at least 1/3 of Canada's population do NOT VOTE, but they complain a lot, and have NO right to. Why-they could care less about the country. That's my rant. Suck it up, buttercup!!

LC's avatar

I'm sorry but PM Carney is a complete A-hole my thoughts only. Vote Carney out next election before Canada is completely sunk into to much debt owing.

Its only the unclassified and if anyone thinks the dirts in the unclassified I have a used door to sell them. Trump did everything in his power to keep this covered up, now people believe he just woke up and said no big deal let them see everything . Because what has been kept under wraps and still will is the part Israel played. When that comes out you have something to cheer about. And why anyone for one moment think Carneys any different than the guy that destroyed Englands economy I have a matching door like the other one to sell too

K Brooker's avatar

Yikes! Can you get your TDS and anti-Jewish racism under control! You sound like a raving lunatic.

Claudette Leece's avatar

Anti Zionist you know the ones eliminating babies. As for Trump give him time, he is destroying the US. The country he says he loves

Trevor Marr's avatar

#tds is your diagnosis. Turn off the #Leftist #MSM.

Trevor Marr's avatar

Carney has treasonously further destroyed the once great relationship that Trudeau had already worked hard at destroying previously.

10000 jobs is a bit optimistic but being able to build a Canadian military aviation sector again is gold. Plus, Gripen is the better fighter.

John Powell's avatar

PS to all who read Brian Lilley and enjoy his work

Not pissing off America really is a sensible strategy

And ( ad nauseum ) I really like crude and rude New Yorkers who walk the talk and keep their word. Trump is such.

His cabinet is awesome.

As for Lilley and the Sun!

Batra. Goldberg . Warmington. Even Kinsella . Charlebois. Agar. These are an awesome group of columnists. Lilley has a rightful place in this group.

John Powell's avatar

Really? Saab js a better fighter than f35? Not to start an argument but ? Really? If you are expert on such things please share your expertise.

The Avro Arrow is long gone. A memory. It would make more sense to ask bombardier to build a jet warplane .

But it doesn’t.

F35. End of.

Here we go. Trump boot licking.

Fact. USA military power and expertise is unmatched in the world today . Prove me wrong ?

You can’t.

Canada has depended on the USA economy for at least five generations. 90% of Canadas population lives within 300 km of the USA Canada border.

The depth of manufacturing expertise and the level of software and hardware integration in the USA military is unmatched by Sweden. As resourceful and expert as the Swedes are, these are facts:

Sweden military force : 25,000.

Swedish airforce : 8000

USA : 2 million military including national guard.

USAF: 500,000

Swedish Gripens in service : 98

USAF f 35 : 1250.

Usual disclaimers.

John Powell's avatar

And Paul? Grok:”Military hardware varies by country, with the United States, China, and Russia leading in overall spending and quantities of advanced equipment, while countries like India and Saudi Arabia are major importers. The US has the largest navy and highest number of fighter jets.”

SMH. Lilley writes for the Toronto SUN. Not Star. Finland? Where thousands of Russians enter and participate in a temporary Worker program? Finland manages the Russia situation without Carneyesque charades.

Boot lickers? Good Neighbours. Try it sometime.

But your position that USA is a nation state controlled by Putin ? As wrong as Lilley purported by you to write for the Toronto Star. You must be a liberal “ influencer “ . Oh well.

It will never happen like the battery plants etc. The Liberals don’t do anything but screw over regular Canadians.

Paul making personal attacks doesn’t work. It makes you look small and irrelevant. Facts. If you want a snapshot on what’s wrong with Canada and the western world listen to this :https://www.facebook.com/share/v/17hYJw6nup/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Paul. Update. https://youtu.be/QQnv4N38zSA?si=ci1SP6ucIutk8oU3.

If you are the Leader of a Country and you are not working to benefit your own Country, then, my guess is that you are a satanic, criminal, leftist, pedophile?

don morris's avatar

Karl Gustaf military rifles were among the best in the pre-WW1 era. I didn't know and don't care that Sweden still has a King, and I feel the same about England and their Royals. Doesn't Canada have a contract for the F-35's signed in 2023? How much will it cost us to break that contract? I guess the only negotiations now are concerning what portion of the contract can be handed to perennial Liberal favorite Bombardier, as it was for the F-18. The direction this country is headed in, we might as well start negotiating with China for their Chengdu J-20 or J-35. I'm sure they would give a piece to Bombardier.

Many weak moral Government, MSM, Big Business, Academia Sport, and Hollyweird individuals will have some Epstein ‘splainin, to do?

Fran's avatar

I dont know know about drugs, colonialism and/or racism but a couple of things are true:

- Draconian persecution of drug users does nothing than fillup prisons with small time figures and middlemen. Bosses get away with billions.

- The war on drugs is fundementally ineffective as a policy instrument to prevent drugs entering the country and affect the levels of addiction.

- The war on drugs fundementally boosts profits for illegal drug cartels

- Money wasted on the war on drugs could be put to more effective use

- Drugs are demand side problem. Trying to solve the drug problem on the supply is fundementally flawed.

James Turner's avatar

So they're going to release Epstein's records?

Well, don't get your hopes up. There's a stipulation in the verbiage that says "all unclassified documents".

And who gets to determine what that means. The public will never see the full, unredacted report. We need to just accept that, and move on.

JGP's avatar

The whole point of giving away drugs to addicts is to kill them and reduce the "carbon footprint" of our society. It's evil from every direction.
