More racism and bigotry coming from the BC Conservative Party. In this horrific post, Katy Merrifield, the Conservative Campaign Director, shows us all what kind of campaign she wishes she could run. The Conservatives put on a moderate front, but every day, who they are becomes clearer. #bcpoli

Me too! Lorne Doerksen can try to make the party appear more sane but it’s a smokescreen. Plus, he’s only an interim leader. What if somehow a more radical leader is voted in by the party?

I believe there were tweaks being made to how quotas were managed or accounted for, but the US made unreasonable demands to autos & other issues that caused us to walk away. This fight is not about the dairy mgmt system. The amount of over quota tariffs is a convenient # to complain about

Fort Hood Shooter’s Execution Will Be Public and Streamed Live, Pentagon Says
If carried out, the public execution of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan by firing squad set for Dec. 3 would be the first in modern U.S. history.

FYI, both US and Canada have TRQ in the USMCA. Imports under the agreed amount are tariff free; over the quota have tariffs. It’s to protect our dairy farmers from a much larger country dumping their products and potentially destroying local farmers.

If I vote green in my riding, the conservatives will win. It would be like voting for Jill Stein and the US got Donald Trump.

There is something seriously messed up with the national and BC provincial party members who vote for bigots and liars to lead their parties. The majority of Canadians are centrists. We don’t like far right or far left politicians.

The other one I see parroted a lot in social media comments is the lie about “ripping off US farmers “ by charging high tariffs. 100% lies that the MAGA cult eat up. So maddening

Canadians are confronting the reality of an obviously unhinged president better than the Republican Party, about 30% of Americans and a shockingly large swath of U.S. news organizations. My column on our insipid trade war with Canada: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Sorry, but I'm rooting for Canada in this insipid trade war our president started. At least they know how to treat a petulant child like Donald Trump.

As usual, the US president’s “truths” are 100% lies. American banks DO operate in Canada. The Gulfstream jets were approved by Transport Canada.

Agreed. I’m feeling very angry and emotional as well but don’t want to comment on social media in anger and fear to give the aggressive USians more ‘ammunition’.

We are inching ever closer to either becoming a complete authoritarian shit hole or splitting into two or more separate countries. I am thinking splitting will be better. Let the idiots have their red states. Of course, provisions will be made for those who wish to relocate out of the shit states.

It’s bargaining chip, which is what it always has been to get steel, aluminum , auto and lumber tariffs removed /reduced. And if Trump slaps on tariffs later, booze comes off the shelf again.

Such irony, considering US prisoners are forced to work for pennies, if they’re paid at all. And the US has one of the highest incarceration rates in the world. Often, people end up in prison because they can’t pay a traffic fine
