My GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFAHTER on my father's side was a CANUK and was stationed at Minot AFB, ND and traveled to Canada on bunches of occasions to get the VERY NICE WHISKEY....AHHHHH!!!!!
Any time. I was at NORAD during the 1st Gulf War and hated being there. I tried volunteering to go over but the commander wouldn't let me leave - he said I was needed too much (I was the sysadm for the warplans machines called WWMCCS at the time - now JOPES). We were 185% over-manned - he just didn't want to let me go. You don't need a lot of warplans to fly A-10s at night and shoot every one of the brightly-lit tanks with night-vision... Funny how that works when they are in the sun all day long.
I filled out my "dream sheet' (for those that don't know, that is a doc we used to fill out to ask the USAF to send us somewhere) and actually looked at Minot. Then I put bases in Turkey, and Worldwide remote extended - send me anywhere as long as you want. They called it a dream sheet because you were usually dreaming that you would get the assignment you wanted. I actually did.
I got Ankara, Turkey and was able to help out with Provide Comfort (helping the Kurds survive the Turks). I actually got out of NORAD after only 10 months. NORAD was cool, but it was a major PITA driving back and forth every day from Peterson AFB to the mountain, and then going thru the security. If you had your badge under your coat you would be eating asphalt at gunpoint. The Security Police loved that.
I KNOW EXACTLY what you mean...I was ONLY at Minot for 6 months (through the winter of '70-'71 and then got orders for VIETNAM...Critical Career Field--->SECURITY POLICE...ALMOST my entire basic training class ended up go SPs and then Vietnam...
Just a lil' side NOTE: if the US Air Force (Military) NEEDED A CAREER FIELD manned they did NOT care how they did it...wanted to go into cypto but NO GO!!! AHHHH THE MEMORIES!!!!!
Have a good 'um!!!! Hoisting one in you're honor...A Cabernet'!!!@@
I'll never forget running into my ex-girlfriend a couple years after college. She was bragging how she was moving to Toronto with her rockstar boyfriend for the free healthcare and was going to start a family with him in Canada.
About 5 years after that I saw that she moved back into her mom's house in Massachusetts and was a single mother.
Stay safe up there Fren! We're cheering for you to take back your country!
Am I understanding this correctly? They showed up in person without any advance arrangements? Who does that?
Whitehats Handlers TOLD them to come and expect a different outcome, not leaving with heads hanging in shame. When this much stupid happens what else could it be?
Or a very sad case of excessive self-importance. Carney may have assumed his glamor and Canada's importance extended to Trump's attention. I mean, Business Travel 101 and all that...
I would say half of everyone I know working for large Canadian companies, tell me the companies already have plans on moving to the US. Not maybe. They are already in motion. Robotics, energy, auto industry, specialized manufacturing....
This is good news, for the US, not so much for Canada-but you all have your issues. Carney needs to go ASAP!! If you all become the 51st state, then so be it. But Canada has a lot of Liberal/Commies/Leftists in the population. Unless they just seem like that.
When the USMCA is renegotiated, predictably dissolved in favor of two bilateral trade agreements – one for Mexico and one for Canada, all of the U.S-Canada trade sectors will be part of the enlarged free trade negotiation. As a result, there is absolutely no motive to engage in trade discussions now.
♦ President Trump’s position is essentially to talk about the details when the USMCA is dissolved; hence, the ambivalence.
Politico is noting the Canadian trade team simply doesn’t understand this. “[D]espite months of back and forth, the terms for a deal have not yet been set, a senior government source said, with the White House informing the Canadian side that Trump is more focused on securing deals with other partners like India.”
From Politico:
(Politico cont..) […] Earlier this month, Canada conceded that any deal with Trump is likely to include tariffs.
Carney’s government wants stability around the tariffs Trump invoked using Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act.
They are crushing Canada’s auto, steel, aluminum and forestry industries. Trump also plans to hit imported copper with 50 percent tariffs starting Aug. 1 — with semiconductor and pharmaceutical imports likely to follow.
Canada ultimately wants the tariffs eliminated or lowered to a fixed level that doesn’t fluctuate, the senior government official said. “If we know what world we’re going into, then we can have better plans and policies to attract investment.”
Canada’s premiers say the unpredictability is punishing the economy.
“Private investment is not growing because everybody’s on pause,” Quebec Premier François Legault told reporters last week. “They are waiting to see what will happen. I’ve been in business — it’s about the worst thing you can have is uncertainty.”
And this is why Canada sends a delegation in desperation and nobody is there to answer the call.
"Ladies and gentlemen. I'm here to talk about your piss-poor border management. Now, I may offend some of you with my speech... I don't give a shit!" Tom Homan... Probably.
Canadian here; we are enslaved by out corrupt government.
Average Canadian pays 55% of their income towards taxes.
Cost of living has gone up 40% in the last 3 years.
They've added 20% to the population using temporary foreign workers which is the equivalent of illegal immigrants, but they're not illegal.
They own our media and elections are phony and corrupt.
Please liberate at your earliest convenience, many patriots here ready to join.
For some of us, the best, most important, most hopeful words in the Q drops are:
q556
Most Canadians are like those who live in many of the blue states in the US.
Patriots, trying to wrestle the steering wheel from the bus driver headed for the cliff with the bus full of souls.
Great Analogy!

I still remember the old Air Force saying (regarding Minot):
Why not Minot? Reason - freezin'.
TANGO YANKEE for the memories!!!!!!

I'll have a scotch for you. BTW, I wanted to be a B-52 tail gunner but I got computers instead. Better in the long run but it sure would've been fun.

"free healthcare" lol
Nothing is free.
Quite a hilarious turn of events for your ex though
Euthanasia is free.
George Washington Has Entered The Chat!!
I have some thoughts about dealing with the King of England and his minions...
Would you like to know moar??
Am I understanding this correctly? They showed up in person without any advance arrangements? Who does that?
Entitled welfare cases. Im not liking canada much these days. Knowing their lifestyle was paid for by us.

Canada will be crippled by tariffs soon. This is how Trump breaks them into being a 51st state. He is going to prove they can't survive without us.
I think there will be a plan to deal with their own immigration issues as part of becoming a state.

As long as they don't bring the Frenchies with them.
How true!
These companies will have no choice. They can't compete in the market at a 30% rate.
How does canada have any of that? We were told nafta traded lumber and fisheries for tech. We got the tech.
They FA
Now they FO.

Nice to see these clowns experience a SMALL FRACTION of how Canadians feel EVERY DAY - IGNORED!!!

Here's what Carney was doing at the Vancouver Pride Parade just a few hours ago

who said, the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money?
Margaret Thatcher, the Iron Lady.
Ha Ha! Screw that Pedo-Globalist POS.
Wait until they feel the Trump effect awhile, they will give him whatever.
Should have let them meet with Stephen Miller, and televised it. Would love to watch Miller hand those cucks their asses.
With Homan as well - to talk about the border.
"Ladies and gentlemen. I'm here to talk about your piss-poor border management. Now, I may offend some of you with my speech... I don't give a shit!" Tom Homan... Probably.
That would be one hell of a tag team!
Exactly. I love when he starts his speeches similar to that. He did it at CPAC last time and I caught it on OAN.
The way Zelensky should have been treated.
Bring out the industrial leaf blower and blow them right on out of here until they get their minds right, lol. FAFO
This is downright funny.
Keeping in touch with luttnick lol. Yeah just long enough to be told to go fly a kite.
Well Bye!

They have had months to talk. They are just trying to get another extension. Fuck them in their fat Canadian assholes.
Bye Felicia.
Art of the deal.
Canadica sounds good to me.
