I'm pretty sure a more qualified girl could've taken the place of the 1 that quit, but probably out of the 600 applicants (for 60 jobs), they were the only 2 girls that applied. I knew 2 girls in high school who took welding. Their fathers were tradesmen, so I imagine they wanted their daughters to have some idea of the trades. When I was in high school, trades work was looked down on & everyone was expected to go to university. nothing has changed really on that front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Jane Fonda was a commie to be locked up USA USA USA You can not commit Treason unless we have declared to be at war - so yes everyone can dispute that... I agree to try and fight it, it was done several times and we lost every time... Some times you have to gather your losses and move on Oh by chance did you see Fifth Estate last night? It was on 3 of the people Harper paid out, not so much on the payout but rather the torture they endured. Knee jerk reaction to 9/11 very similar to the 50's where they just locked people up for no reason Lets get into what he did! He fought against Canada and its Allies and was involved in a battle that killed Allied servicemen. Thats it. He was there and has the scars to prove it. No other discusion needed. He deserved the death penalty not a $10 million payout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserved the death penalty not a $10 million payout. The claims of him being tortured aren't really credible either. Some of his claims had videotaped evidence against his and other were his written affidavits that he refused to take the stand to defend. This POS deserved nothing. http://www.weeklystandard.com/omar-khadr-was-not-tortured/article/493125#! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overall glowing story by writer Stephen Rodrick calls Trudeau “a progressive, rational, forward-thinking leader” who “overcame tragedy to become Canada’s prime minister”, such as the death of his younger brother Michel who was killed in an avalanche and the death of his father, former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. On the front cover, Trudeau is pictured with the words “Why can’t he be our President?” He stares intensely with a slight smile as he leans against a dark glossy table.

If that’s your dream leader, please take him,” tweeted Andrew Scheidl. “Oh for the love of…will you PLEASE knock it off. Hope for the free world? Yeah, he’s a regular super hero. Stop” tweeted Mike O’Hara. LOL! Sounds about as in depth as that fluff piece 60 Minutes produced last year. Mike Wallace would've been all over him. The guy was MP for what 6 years & then runs against a 'Cheney-like' incumbent. All he had was a famous last name. Maybe the US media should look @ what happens when you elect a son, (See Dubya). Quote The overall glowing story by writer Stephen Rodrick calls Trudeau “a progressive, rational, forward-thinking leader” who “overcame tragedy to become Canada’s prime minister”, such as the death of his younger brother Michel who was killed in an avalanche and the death of his father, former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Any mention of overcoming his mother banging Mick & Keef? Sounds like a segment you see the US networks show before an event in the Olympics where the American athlete is favoured. "Susie Smith of Bumfuck Idaho overcame the death of her grandparents in a tragic accident when she was 2 years old..." I think Americans would change their minds about wanting him as Prez pretty quick once they saw him in action.

revrnd Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 The media got what they wanted. They could have covered the other Republican candidates, but no it was all about Trump. And now they're shocked. In Canada it's the same, there are brief moments when the Canadian media is critical of Trudeau's performance. Too bad they hadn't been more critical DURING the election.
