Not sure what Svennoj post has anything to do with what we were discussing.  Do you speak for all Canadians or do you just speak for yourself.  I have no clue about Canadian government besides what I can easily read but my comments are not about your government its about YOU in general who seems to be very acceptable about a foreign president demeaning your country and trying to make it ok just because the current group in power isn't what you like.  As Svennoj stated, he and his wife do not see it as you do so I am going to assume a lot of other Canadians do not as well.

Now I see your problem, I am not focusing on putting down Trump as I have not said anything personal about him, instead, I put down Trump policy of Tariffs without negotiations.  Its just interesting you feel the need to defend Trump personally but not talk about the individual policies or tactics which is what I am talking about.  Are you defending the tactic of throwing around tariffs like a bully club against your nation.  Are you in defense of his statements demeaning your country and acting as if you are just another third world country. It doesn't seem like you have this national pride that the conservative party you support is talking about because you continue to look for ways to defend what Trump does no matter how it affects your country. 

You say you do not know what Trump dealing with China has to do with Canada and I specifically stated Tariffs.  Are you not seeing the correlations between throwing around Tariffs without fully understanding the cost or do you believe that Canada cannot reciprocate the same tariffs and there will not be a cost to American consumers. Or are you saying that Canada will just take it on the chin do nothing and not retaliate.  Its as if you do not understand what an example is or you just willfully ignoring the subject we are discussing because you want to defend Trump so much.

Who cares about the chatter about making DC or Puerto Rico a state, I was just being cheeky like you were in your last comment.

If you believe Trump was making a joke maybe it was you who do not understand the difference.  If I called your mother fat, that could be considered a joke.  Some people might laugh at it and some will take it personal but the key is that when you throw out such jokes you can always lean one way or the other depending on your audience.  Works all the time and I guess you drank the kool aide.

You - I don't care what you and SvennoJ were talking about, I have my own agenda besides that.

Also you - I don't really know jack about Canada, but I have a problem with you, so I want to sidetrack this convo.

You - You're just one person so you don't speak for most Canadians.

Also you - SvennoJ somewhat disagrees with you, so he speaks for most Canadians.

I'm interested in what SvennoJ and I were conversing about, not whatever You are on about exactly.

Hmmm, my whole conversation on this topic has been with you.  It was you that brought Svennoj into the conversation then get upset, very odd.

Did not say I did not know jack, just that like anyone who doesn't live in another country, I can only be as informed as the information I read about another country.

Yeah, you are just one person but most of your arguments clearly made reference this is how Canadian think.  Then we get a Canadian who thinks different so maybe its just mostly your opinion.

If you do not care what we were talking about, why do you keep responding.  You can just not respond and than the conversation would end.  If you have no answers for the questions I asked that is fine.
