Trump, possibly, has become the best recruitment incentive for the Canadian military? Applications have soared since he started his annexation threats.

We went from “Trump will bring down prices so fast if elected” to screw it triple egg prices is nothing let’s make it 5x and add 25% to everything else as long as we can make racist comments at work again.

Hey, I’m not saying that people who wanted the price of eggs to come down were right to vote for Trump.
I’m saying that people who wanted the price of eggs to come down did vote for Trump.

It’s incredible how many people I see earnestly claim, “He never said he’d bring down prices quickly, it’s going to take time, you need to trust him”
But presented with multiple clips of him saying prices would be lower day 1, immediately, etc. they say “Well clearly he meant he was going to begin working on it day 1!”

I’m sure that his plan to bring down egg prices will be along in two weeks. For now, it’s just a concept of a plan and not ready for sharing.

It was avian flu all the way down, who knew!?
I completely agree. Trump is a blowhard bully. If you give in you show weakness, so he pushes harder. The only thing that will make him change is a large S&P correction followed by a whole bunch of quiet conversations from members of the GOP.

Far better to publicize an exception. “Normally Canada doesn’t allow people with this history acceptance into Canada. But given it’s the president of a close ally, we’ll make an exception.”.

Well Trump did ask us to tighten our border security.

He has stated his plan for reducing prices and interest rates. Reduce restrictions on oil drilling.. When the black gold starts to flow eggs will be a $1.50 dozen.
I am pleased that, despite the low popularity of the Liberal Party, two very accomplished individuals are the leading contenders to succeed Trudeau as Leader/PM. Some background on them for those who are not followers of Canadian politics.
“Both were undergraduates at Harvard University (magna cum laude in economics for him, magna cum laude in history and literature for her, along with winning the Rhodes Scholarship). Mr. Carney was backup goalie on the hockey team and belonged to one of the elite “final clubs” on campus, while Ms. Freeland wrote for student papers and organized protests against those sex-segregated clubs.
After Harvard, Mr. Carney worked for Goldman Sachs in London and Tokyo for three years. Ms. Freeland moved to Ukraine – she was fluent in the language from being raised in her mother’s Ukrainian heritage – and wrote for The Washington Post, The Economist and the Financial Times.
They both attended the University of Oxford for graduate studies.
Afterward, Mr. Carney returned to Goldman for a decade, working in London, New York and Toronto, before joining the Bank of Canada as a deputy governor before becoming governor of the Canadian central bank in 2007. He acquired a reputation for shepherding Canada through the financial crisis relatively unscathed, and in 2013, he was poached by the Bank of England to head it.
Ms. Freeland’s professional star rose high and fast working abroad, too. After Oxford, she was a senior editor for the Financial Times in London, and then served as the paper’s Moscow bureau chief in the late 1990s, where she covered the oligarchs shaping post-Soviet Russia. She returned to Canada to become deputy editor of The Globe and Mail in 1999, and later occupied senior roles with other global media organizations, along with writing two books.”

This is the first I have heard of this situation. I have no opinion on it
Claiming that she supports killing 20,000 Palestinian children and wants more dead for her taking a pro-Israel position* does seem harassing.
Criminally so? I’m not familiar enough with Canadian law to say. In the U.S. this could easily fall under libel as well.
It does not seem threatening unless there’s something worse that Engel said / did than what’s in the screenshot.
*Full disclosure: I’m not familiar with this gal, so I’m kind of guessing at the situation. I might change my mind if her posts were more vile than what I described. But if she didn’t explicitly say that she supports the killing of Palestinian children no one should assume that. War is ugly and you can support one side without supporting every single thing that side does. I’ve given examples before.

If she wanted to make a case of libel in a civil suit, I have no issue with that. Not sure she would win, but that would be a rational response.
I see no threats in any of his posts. Calling him reporting this story intimidating police is ludicrous IMO.
Yeah certainly not threatening based in what’s in the article. If there’s more… maybe? I’d have to see it.
Are Canadian laws similar to the U.S. here? What’s likely to happen?
I don’t know Canadian laws. That’s why I was curious what the Canadian posters thought about this.
I don’t think I’ve heard of either of these people in my life.
