Let there be no doubt, Trump is the symptom, not the problem. Vance is the President in Waiting (I predict he will be POTUS after the November elections), and he will be far worse then Trump ever could be. Trump is knee-jerk, Vance is cold and calculating.

But the good news is, based on the mud-slinging the Republican party is doing, they are really. really afraid they will lose the Senate AND the House in November, and they are trying to shore up support in America for their failed policies. They really, really need this trade deal, and Carney knows it. Unless they get a trade deal before November, the American political scene will look very, very different.

Like I said, nothing but hot air. The Avro Arrow fiasco sent a clear message to every University engineer and science grad, and every Canadian company. I know, I was there. We learned: Rule number one, your future is in America, Rule number two, if you think otherwise, see rule number one. The Canadian government will never stand behind you, it will always pull the plug. The last fifty years of public and economic policy may be as far back as your mind can grasp, and even longer than your memory can trace, but history and my memory go a lot further back than that. Fifty years isn't even a life span.Neoliberalism is for children. Reality is for adults. History never falls into neat classifications and sound bites.

I don't know why you're being so self-righteous when you're just another STEM unc who doesn't know what they're talking about and refuses to learn. Nothing about your behaviour says, "mature."

You'll learn what neoliberalism is in three years when your kids put you in a home.

When you decide to wear big-boy pants, then maybe we can have an intelligent adult conversation, but throwing insults and vitriol around just puts you in the same league as Trump.

Uhuh, Trump is when you use terms right then make fun of someone who won't.

Like I said, when you start wearing big boy pants.
