Yes, he definitely doesn't like anyone saying anything negative
about him.

I caught part of a speech he just made yesterday and I am amazed that
no one either on his staff or from the news networks says anything
about the blatant exaggerations and outright lies he tells to make
his plans sound like a good idea. He was going on again about how
the USA is subsidizing Canada to the tune of $200 Billion to keep us
from going bankrupt and he seems to mix up the words 'subsidize' with
Buying goods from us. As I've said before, we have a trade surplus
with the USA (not that high) only because of all the oil you buy
from us at lower than world prices and if you don't count the oil,
you actually have a trade surplus with us, selling us more goods
than you buy from us.

It sort of seems like he has a lot more control over what is
reported on the news down there than I would expect, although I
haven't heard too much of it really. I base my assumption on the
fact that if news services down there were calling him out, our
news would pick up on that and tell us.

Could be.. although I'm not sure which party would work out best for us.
Poilieve (Conservative) talks a good fight but it is believed he is
a lot more like Trump and may go along with a lot of what Trump says.

Carney (Liberal) is talking some good points but is, at heart, still
a Banker who has never been elected to anything, so he's no politician.

By 'Banker' I mean a Major Banker as in he has served as the Governor
of the Bank of England and then as Governor of the Bank of Canada.

The MORE liberal parties are saying that Carney is too Conservative,
which wouldn't be a shock, and it will be interesting to see how
he handles things if he does get elected. We will have that election
within the next month they say.
