Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
Interesting that trudeau basically bought the media in the weeks leading up to the signing, given the objective you just quoted isn't it.
If you think about all the areas the Trudeau liberals are and will be requiring damage control, immigration is just one piece of the pie.
We should really be in the Canadian politics thread with this.
Or even the un migration pact thread i started a few weeks ago which didn't get a single response.

To keep their events from looking like private meetings, the Clintons have had to resort to letting ticket prices drop to clearance prices so that at least some seats are filled.
“Ticket prices were plummeting shortly before the event, with the cheapest seats selling on Stubhub for single-digits – $6.55 Canadian dollars, or less than $5 (U.S.),” the Daily Mail announced. “Now, the couple are taking drastic action to avoid another embarrassment on the next stop on their ‘An Evening With the Clintons’ tour. They have slashed tickets by up to 60 percent – and even offered them on Groupon to try and entice more fans to come and listen to them speak.”

President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw all US troops from Syria has been met with strong criticism.
Mr Trump made the announcement on Wednesday, asserting that the Islamic State (IS) group had been defeated.
But major allies, including senior Republicans and foreign powers, have disputed the claim and say the move could lead to a resurgence of IS.
US troops have helped rid much of Syria's north-east of the jihadist group, but pockets of fighters remain.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who is one of Mr Trump's supporters, called the withdrawal decision a "huge Obama-like mistake".
And the UK government pushed back on the president's assurance that IS had now been defeated.
The Pentagon said it was transitioning to the "next phase of the campaign" to eliminate IS but did not provide further details.
President Trump, who has long promised to pull American troops out of Syria, said on Twitter that it was time to bring them home after their "historic victories".

Senator Elizabeth Warren jumped into the race for president on Monday, announcing she is forming an exploratory committee for 2020.
The Massachusetts Democrat, known for her critiques of big banks and corporations, became the first major candidate to declare her intentions with a video posted online on New Year’s Eve.
“America’s middle class is under attack,” she said. “How did we get here? Billionaires and big corporations decided they wanted more of the pie and they enlisted politicians to cut them a fatter slice.”
Warren, 69, is entering what is likely to be a crowded Democratic primary field seeking to take on Donald Trump. Those considering bids include a slew of fellow senators such as Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, Kirsten Gillibrand and Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, the former vice-president, and former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg.
In her four and a half minute announcement video, Warren stressed the economic populist message that has brought her to national prominence.
She mixed old family photos with charts showing the declining middle-class share of income and the gap between black and white household wealth, and discussed her upbringing in Oklahoma and her family’s struggle to make ends meet after her father had a heart attack that left him unable to work.
“Working families today face a lot tougher path than my family did,” she said. “Our government’s supposed to work for all of us, but instead it has become a tool for the wealthy and well-connected.”
Warren did not mention Trump by name in the video, but it showed images of him along with allies Kellyanne Conway and Steve Bannon and Fox News personalities Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity. The video says: “The whole scam is propped up by an echo chamber of fear and hate designed to distract and divide us – people who will do or say anything to hang on to power.”
I imagine a good portion of Bernie supporters will never forgive Warren for selling out her principles in support of Hillary last time around. The same group which abstained from voting or even voted Trump to spite the Democrats.

Liz Warren, Nancy Pelosi are scums just like the people they criticize. They will be even more detrimental to US than Captain Orange.
I predict if market continues to tank like they did in Oct, Nov and Dec, impeachment chatters will gain even more ground especially when the House change ownership. Rich people will let him play so long as their money is not on the line.

I hope he calls a national emergency so countries like Canada will have to issue a travel warning for the states. The national emergency will have to last years because that's how long it will take for the wall to be built.

even though I think that Trump is lying through his teeth in his speech, that democratic response is so terrible that's it's not going to sway any border wall supporters

So what you are saying is trump can't come up with any new idea's and he is just copying the dems?
Why do people keep comparing him to other people? can't he stand on his own 2 feet?
Just pointing out the blatant hypocrisy.
The media was fawning over Obama while he deported twice as many illegals in his first term.
2020 should be interesting as the democrats continue to shed all of what little common sense they had, purely out of spite.

trump had control of the house and Senate for 2 years. If he thought the wall was so important he should have done it in the first 60 days but he was too busy golfing and posting sick burns on twitter. When is trump going to stop using Obama as a crutch ans stand on his own 2 feet?
