Trudeau under preasure to get NAFTA done.

Is that gentleman standing beside Chrystia in the photo, rolling one up?

.... Now we have an incompetent federal government that has lost the allegiance of provincial counterparts.....

Simply not true on the NAFTA issue. All Provinces, regardless of ruling party, are solidly behind the Federal Government to protect Canadian interests against foreign attack.

I’m not disputing that. Maybe read my post again. The disintegration of this country will come from internal struggles and a govt with no true authority over provinces. External struggles are what bring us all together. I was arguing two separate but intertwined topics.

Does anyone know her qualifications?

Even if its a fake picture ...the question still stands.

Former journalist.

Unfortunately the pictures are real and was taken in Washington DC.....this is the type of person we have representing us on the international stage now.

If that picture is indeed true, my respect for the Governing party just died a little more again. I am now even deeper in negative respect territory. This is what happens when you place people without qualifications and credentials into jobs they aren't qualified for....only in Government!!! It all started with the swearing in of a quota based cabinet. If we've learned nothing from this....I guess the idiom "we get the government we deserve" will never ring truer.

Can I borrow a couple of phrases from Remembrance Day?...

"NEVER AGAIN" and "LEST WE FORGET".

We re really judging people by pictures of their casual dress? Let's see what kind of deal we get maybe.

To me it's taunting the people of the other negotiating country.

A lack of respect and professionalism and before anyone accuses the other country of doing the same...do we have to stoop too?

It was during a trip to Washington DC to discuss NAFTA so VERY unprofessional.
Attending a few panels to discuss how terrible American leaders are as well were also unprofessional moves.

These actions show us that they don’t want NAFTA to succeed or don’t care if it succeeds.

These civil servants have to remember who their bosses are and represent us to the best of their abilities.

"...best of their abilities"? I EXPECT MORE THAN WE'RE GETTING FROM THEM.


Look....that ****en T-shirt was specially made....I assume it is a one of a kind.

You can't sugar coat this shit!

O88, that rant isn't directed at you. I just used a snippet of your post.

Its not only the ones in leadership positions. You just described the majority of the gov workforce.
