CARNEY’S EUROPEAN FLAIR
Environmental activists must be very upset about Carney’s carbon footprint. After all, he spends so much time in the rarefied air, he doesn’t know what it’s like on the ground. He’s in Europe more often than he’s in Canada or the U.S. If he wants to be European so much, why doesn’t he resign his position and move to Brussels. They seemed to like him a lot last time he was there. There are much better ways to spend taxpayers’ money: Immigration, housing, health care, etc.

(He does love his European travels, probably because they swoon over him)

DON’T GO SOUTH
Remember when it was (and still is) dangerous to go to Russia or China on the possibility of just being arrested and thrown into their prisons? Now, it is also dangerous to visit the U.S. Since President Trump came back into power over a year and half ago, over 500 innocent Canadians have been arrested, imprisoned and detained by American authorities. This fact is just another reason on top of all the illegal tariffs levied against Canada that Canadians should avoid visiting the good-old U.S. for their own safety and wellbeing.

(But were they all innocent as you say? It’s just quite possible they were detained or arrested for legitimate reasons and will have the opportunity to go through the legal system. If you think Russia or China does that then your anti-American hate has clouded your judgment)

DEATH STREAM
I hope the Department of War realizes that livestreaming the execution of the Fort Hood shooter may do far more to inspire violent anti-American terrorists outside the U.S. than deter violence by American residents. U.S. residents already know that there are serious consequences to killing American soldiers. There are many, especially outside the U.S., who doubtless see him as a martyr. Livestreaming his execution will only serve to inspire them. Videos of his execution will doubtless be distributed by violent anti-American groups.

(Agreed. It’s a bad idea)
