—Harper on Trump
Harper on Trump:
• “I must admit to being shocked by some of the things he said. They’re just not so.”
• “When we talk about subsidizing Canadian defense, I don’t know what he’s talking about.”
• “I have a real problem with some of the things Donald Trump is saying…it doesn’t sound to me like the pronouncements of somebody who’s a friend, a partner and an ally, which is what I’ve always thought the United States is for our country.”
• “Whether or not we have Mr. Trudeau as our prime minister is our choice as Canadians. We don’t tell you who to elect as president of the United States. And so as much as I’m glad to see Mr. Trudeau leaving, this is not Mr. Trump’s decision.”
• “I know Donald Trump would like to believe that he’s pushed Mr. Trudeau out of office, but let me assure you it was a Canadian public opinion and ultimately Mr. Trudeau’s own party that pushed him out of office.”
Very strong moment for Harper
Maybe he should have a talk with Danielle Smith to help her grow a spine –
Federal politicians are spinless for not suggesting electricity exports as leverage
There’s a suggestion making the rounds on Twitter that Poilievre should appoint Harper ambassador to Washington. It struck me as a fantastic idea. Though with these remarks, justified though they clearly are, I’m not sure that would work.
He also criticized Justin Trudeau. He ran as a centrist but is far-left, and he caused a lot of economic damage. Canada needs to remove inter-provincial trade barriers and find more markets for Canadian oil.
Doug Ford is doing a great job too. I’m sure a little of Canadians are wishing they had a chance to vote for him – move over Pierre poison here comes Doug Ford –
I wish John Crosby was still alive and politically active. I would love to watch him defend Canadian sovereignty on US news networks.
that would be great!!
