  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

And people thought a woman would be too emotional to be president.

....Donald is obviously in a fragile state of mind after all the criticism of his demolition of the East Wing.

He should release the Epstein files to distract people from it.

Aftermath
  • Ontario pulled the ad by October 24 after backlash, with Ford defending it as promoting alliance: "Canada and the United States are friends... President Ronald Reagan knew that we are stronger together."
  • Carney expressed readiness to resume talks, calling prior progress "constructive."
  • Critics in Canada decried the $75M spend as wasteful amid provincial debt exceeding $400 billion, while U.S. outlets highlighted it as provocative diplomacy.

So now Ronald Reagan is super smart and had a handle on economics? He's the "trickle-down" guy right?

Do the fine people of Ontario (where my dad's side of the family is from and some still live) really want "Reaganomics" lol?

See, this is where there are communication breakdowns... I spent a substantial portion of the past two decades hearing people crap all over Reagan for his economic policies that favored the wealthy and the business owners, but now when there's an opportunity to highlight a policy divergence between him and Trump, it's time to start invoking "the wisdom of Reagan"?

While we're invoking Reagan, how about we say that Ketchup and Relish should be counted as vegetables in order cut school lunch funding to meat federal nutritional guidelines more cheaply?

This is where the "Trump derangement syndrome" accusations come from, where people will cite politicians whose policies they absolutely abhor, simply because they think it gives them a "slam dunk" against a current politician they hate.


If they want to call Canada's bluff...sure, we'll make sure our next president is exactly like Ronald Reagan lol


They can tell protestors "awww shut up" to the applause of a bunch of old stuffy white guys"...things will be so much different
