LAST UPDATE | 20 Jun 2022
A MAJOR FRENCH military exercise due to take place off the south-west coast later this month has been brought forward to 2am tomorrow morning.
The Department of Transport has issued an updated marine notice to vessels operating in Ireland’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) this afternoon.
The exercise is now scheduled to take place from 21 June to 24 June and 27 June from 2am to 4pm each day.
However, the notice says the exercise may be postponed, taking place at the same time on another date between 27 June to 7 July, excluding weekends.
Warnings had been issued on Friday by the Department of Transport after they were informed by the Irish Aviation Authority of the exercises.
The warning said that the French authorities advised it would be a large-scale missile and rocket firing operation.
The French Embassy in Ireland said in a statement that it is “in ongoing contact with the Irish authorities in relation to a military exercise planned later this week taking place in an area of the Atlantic Ocean off the French coast.”
“As indicated to the Irish authorities via the standard procedures, the area affected may potentially include a small piece of the southern extremity of Ireland’s EEZ as a security pattern, approximatively 200km southwest of Ireland territorial waters,” it said.
“No French Navy vessels will be in the Irish EEZ during this exercise.
“As a close EU partner, France will maintain close contact with the Irish authorities throughout the period of the military exercise.”
Minister for Foreign Affairs, Simon Coveney, issued a similar statement earlier, in which he said the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) was informed of the exercises via standard procedures and the Department of Transport has issued a Marine Notice to this effect.
“As a close EU partner, the Department of Foreign Affairs will, as normal, maintain contact with the French authorities throughout the period of the military exercise,” he said.
Irish fishermen who were planning on disrupting the exercise later this month have issued a fresh call on the Irish and French government to intervene to stop the exercises.
In a statement, the fishermen of the Irish South and West Fish Producers Organisation said they were notified by the Department of Transport at 10.53am that the exercises had been brought forward.
“In late January 2022, our West Cork fishermen were successful in having planned Russian Naval exercises relocated outside of the Irish EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) by agreement reached with the Russian Government and we are now urgently calling on the Irish and French Governments to provide a similar outcome to our Fishermens’ concerns,” the statement said.
A source with expertise in the area said it was believed the French decision was influenced by the weather more than other considerations – as poorer conditions are expected this weekend.
Sinn Féin spokesperson on Foreign Affairs and Defence John Brady has expressed concern regarding the planned French naval exercises.
“For the second time in six months, we have a situation where a foreign naval service is scheduled to undertake naval exercises in the Irish Exclusive Economic Zone, with the same group of Irish fishers indicating their intent to take to the area to protest at the threat that the naval exercises pose to their livelihood.”
“It is no secret that the Irish fishing industry feels betrayed by an indifferent government that has failed to properly represent their interests in Europe.”
He added that 2 billion of fish caught in Irish waters is not landed in Ireland and that “this state does not possess the means to carry out any meaningful type of inspection of trawlers fishing in Irish waters illegally”.
Speaking to The Journal, Patrick Murphy, CEO of the Irish South and West Fish Producers Organisation said that he wanted to see Coveney engage with French authorities to stop the exercises taking place.
Murphy said that Coveney had previously told Russia - who had planned similar exercises in Irelands EEZ in January - that he couldn’t stop the exercises, but that they weren’t welcome.
However, Coveney had written a letter to his Russian counterpart seeking to have the exercise moved.
“I would think him to do what he did the last time,” said Murphy, saying that he hopes Coveney has a letter written to his French counterpart and asked that he disclose any engagement with the French government.
Due to the exercises, the Department of Transport has warned vessels operating in the Irish EEZ about the military operation.
“The exercises will be undertaken in part of the Irish EEZ. Given the nature of the planned exercises, vessels and crew are advised of safety risks in the operational area,” said a notice from the Department.
Murphy said that he wants to see a moratorium placed on military exercises, saying that they should not take place in Ireland’s EEZ for the next 10 years.
“We’re screaming for a moratorium for this craziness to stop… We said 10 years, so no more military exercises inside Ireland’s EEZ,” said Murphy.
Speaking on Morning Ireland, Murphy said that the current climate makes military exercises of this nature inappropriate, due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
“In the climate that we are in now, this doesn’t seem to be appropriate. We have a war as was reported in programs on the continent and we don’t need these military sizes to ramp up any tensions.”
He added that any exercises would have an impact on the fishing industry itself, potentially with consequences lasting down the line for several years due to fish spawning being disrupted.
“This doesn’t just affect you on the three days, this could affect your for decades to come because if it interferes with the spawning cycle, and if the fish don’t spawn, then you have no recruitment into the stocks.”
This means that the amount of fish that could be caught would be reduced, potentially for long periods of time according to Murphy.

Another leftie government falls what a fabulous start to the year. They are all finished.
@Trump24: Left wing, ha ha, do you know anything about politics or ideologies?
@Trump24: you clearly know feck all about Canadian politics. Surprise, surprise!
@Brian D’Arcy: I have no doubt at all that Trudeau himself would call his government left wing.
@Jen McC: everyone is on the left to trump 24.
@Trump24: utter cabbage
@Brian D’Arcy: He’s Liberal not left you fool! Cleary you haven’t a clue! Just like your name States.
@Joe Dolan: well left wing is communists and they don’t deserve to be called human beings.
@Trump24: A glorious facist future awaits you and all you blondest friends
@Joe Dolan: lol. HE OSS as left as you can get.
@FoxyBoiiYT: Not sure what the blonde part means but that would be amazing.
@Maximilian Kolbe: Because ye are all Neo nazist racists
@Basildon Joe: back to family values is what the world wants
@Maximilian Kolbe:
Why are you dishonouring the name of a Saint of the Catholic Church who gave up his life in a NAZI death camp to save the life of a man with a young family posting the worst of American style fascist clap trap. You are a disgrace
@Maximilian Kolbe: bellend.
@donal O’brien: and you are now part of the Gosplan
@FoxyBoiiYT: That would be amazing hopefully it happens.
@Deco Tronq: Indeed he was but soon to be in the past
@Brian D’Arcy: Yes he called his government left wing so that’s what they are but luckily another lot gone to the scrap heap.
@Trump24: great news indeed.
@Maximilian Kolbe: you must be a yank to be so poorly educated
@Trump24: Another turd to mute
@adam page: He’s an attention seeking simpleton.
@Trump24: And you didn’t even vote.
@Maximilian Kolbe: Proper nazi.
@James T.Kirk: I voted in the US election not the Canadian one correct. But as someone from the states I have seen the mess Canada is in.
@FoxyBoiiYT: quick lefty , dye your hair , take your reverse hormones and hope Trumps presidency will collapse
Spent Christmas in Canada, and no one had a good word to say about him. Even former liberal voters. It’s definitely time for him to go.
@Jen McC: Doesn’t mean much. Speak to anyone in the street here and nobody will have a good word to say about FF/ FG but yet every general election they get voted in.
@Ger Whelan: Canadian politics is nothing like ours. The 2 main parties there are near polar opposite.
@Jen McC: I never claimed it was. Just stating what people say and what people actually do are 2 different things.
@Ger Whelan FFG and don’t forget their Proxies
@Ger Whelan: I mean, the polls alone will tell you that the Liberals will be obliterated in the next election. That just hasn’t happened here, yet. When the Canadians turn on you, you’re screwed.
@Basildon Joe: you are a goose,,,
@Jen McC: that is because he is a puppet of Klaus Schwab, Davos & the WEF – this is no secret as Schwab openly stated the WEF had ‘penetreated’ more than 50% of the Canadian gov’t & will continue with other Western nations (same in New Zealand & Keir Starmer was asked directly on British TV if he served Davos or the English people &, without hesitation, the answer was Davos).
Canada has become a complete basket case since he took the position of PM.
Have to laugh at some of the commentators on here who clearly know f-all about what’s been happening in Canada since March 2020 – the Freedom convoy, the freezing of the Freedom convoy participants bank accounts, the Go-Fundme that was set up & subsequently frozen by Trudeau’s gov’t, the removal of children from Freedom convoy participants.
Canada & New Zealand were rest beds for Western Dictatorship.
Those who don’t believe what’s happening in the world are either too conditioned to see the reality or more frightening, willfully ignorant.
The fear that people may have been lied to about the pandemic, about immigration & everything else is simply too much for some, their world view being based on deception after deception is too much for their fragile ego’s so, it’s easier for them the roll in behind whatever deception is happening at the time & sling silly, absurd tropes the Mainstream Manipulators program them to repeat.
Funny thing is: those that are trying to warn the rest are actually trying to stop the rise of neo-fedalism & serfdom because that’s what’s coming our way.
@Jim: The “Freedom Convoy”?
Hahahahaha!
That bunch of Fascists – mostly from Dumbfukistan – who thought they could bully the Canadians?
Aw!
Are you still sore that Canadians don’t put up with Trump MAGA bullshit and intimidation?
@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: your perspective is very interesting.
Even more interesting how you define Fascists (I don’t think it means what you think it means).
Having read your comments for months on here one thing is quite clear. You are an out and out bigot & the problem with that is: while you don’t know you are, the rest of us have to suffer your idocracy.
@Jim: respectfully Jim, no.
@Jim: I have relations in Canada.
They were sick to the back teeth of those (mostly American) truckers who thought they were entitled to breach Canadian laws to put ordinary people at risk because they didn’t want to obey regulations put in place to protect the populace during a pandemic.
And then went on to block roads and thoroughfares disrupting the already difficult times of ordinary people.
I’m told that most Canadians would have liked to see them horsewhipped.
Your inability to identify Fascism is your failing, not mine.
@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: wow!
Leftist tool has leftist tool relations.
Shocker.
@Seamus: Yea, Canadians not wanting to out up with thuggery from Americans are leftist now.
@Jen McC: as it should be. Not like this horrible FFg cartel
Shocked he lasted as long as he did
I cannot understand how the Canadian people put up with this eeejittt for so long.
@Nodon: Canada or India?
@Nodon: Why? Fill us in on your extensive knowledge of Canadian politics.
A dangerous woke turd of a man, Canada is a mess because of him.
@Freda Peeple: In what way is it a mess? Please enlighten us.
@Tony: Under his watch Canadians have been priced out of owning a home, healthcare crisis and access to healthcare in general, reckless immigration meaning 1 in 20 people are now from India and growing, yellow vest protests over unrealistic carbon tax increases. Lower standards of living all around and slow post covid recovery. Not to mention his sickly woke agenda. Canada was always known for its high standard of living and great healthcare but not anymore.
@Freda Peeple: don’t forget the state of some of the cities there with open drug use etc
@Tony: Ask the truckers.
@Freda Peeple: Same as ppl under FFG in Ireland. Centre right
@smatrix mantra: yes and we exported close to a million people. Now, we are 20% foreign. People have had their dreams of home ownership destroyed.
No loss, in fairness. A clown.
@honey badger: Says the sheep who seems to spend all day every day waiting to comment on a journal article. Lol.
@Tony: I don’t recall anything you’ve ever written here. Thanks for remembering me, though. x
About time. That said, let’s not be fooled into thinking the cost of living crisis is easy to fix, it goes beyond immigration. Those who offer simply explanations aren’t likely to fix complex issues with their simple fixes. Even then, we have the likes of Musk going nuclear over anyone who opposes skilled migrant visas, which Trudeau supports (as well as student visas). Musk uses skilled migrant visas to hire cheap replaceable labour, billionaire businessmen aren’t here to help you, they see an opportunity. Musk is literally living at Mar a Lago, as Trump remembers the last person he speaks to.
@David Jordan: Woah hang on. Billionaires importing cheap immigrant labour to take jobs (and housing) from natives? Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me.
@Basildon Joe: We have quite a history in this country regarding child abuse and sweeping it under the carpet.
@Sun Rise: Right.. That makes the imported grooming gangs in The UK alright then. Sympathising with kiddie fiddlers is going to bite you in the hole. You’re a top class sick clown.
@Basildon Joe: Musk called on the UK government to hold a national inquiry into pedophile gangs, as he seems unaware there are several local enquiries into historical sexual abuse in Rotherham and other towns, which was started by the Conservative Government, and continued by Labour e.g.
As for your claim that, in the 6 – 7 months since the election of a Labour government, the gangs aren’t prosecuted or jailed, this is if course complete nonsense.
@Basildon Joe: I see Stephen Yaxley-Lennon’s rhetoric regarding grooming gangs doesn’t extend to members of his own EDL organisation that perpetrate the same crimes…
“Senior member” of English Defence League jailed for sexually abusing 10-year-old girl’, The Independent, 27 february 2018,
@Sun Rise: who’s we? We’re you involved in abusing children and sweeping it under the carpet?
@Basildon Joe: There isn’t a disgusting facist trope that you won’t jump all over.
@FoxyBoiiYT: Shut up. You’re alone in your views. Leftism is a dead duck. Get used to right wing life from hereon in, son.
@Basildon Joe: Some more EDL BNP paedophiles I found:
Jack Renshaw, Richard Price, Simon Sheppard, Kane Hutchison, Ryan Fleming, Harry Vaughan, Martyn Gilleard, Darren Francis, James Siree, Stephen Payne, Ian Hargreaves, Carl Tofts, Gerard Kendrick and Peter Gillett (abused multiple children, one under the age of 12). Here’s Gillet posing with Paul Whiteside, of EDL, who has a dodgy history (L):
https://i.imgur.com/xfdjtt2.jpeg
I could go on, but there are so many.
@Sun Rise:
@Sun Rise: that is a whole different thing and you know it.
The r*pe gangs in the UK have been operating with impunity for 20+ years & Starmer was part of the group that covered it up & decided that not all child r*pists should face prison time.
He & his ilk are protecting the r*pe gangs operating In Britain – it is nothing like what you are referring to.
@Basildon Joe: A study out of the US has shown the vast majority of your paedos are Republicans.
As has been known anecdotally for a long time.
@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere : source please
@David Jordan: Now name all the Muslim PDF grooming gang members in the interest of equality. Funny that you U turned straight into names of white PDFs but not the Muslim/Pakistanis who are the majority in the UK grooming gang scandals across tens if not hundreds of UK towns. Are you Islamophobic or something? :)
@Oh Mammy: You should look up those who are charged with sexual crimes. Almost invariably you will find they have religious roles, are from the right-wing part of the political spectrum, or both.
Here is a database that gathered that information over the space of about a year, and then analysed that data.
https://www.whoismakingnews.com/#who-are-the-real-predators
Here is another site that created visualisation of that data.
https://dataviz.fyi/
If you do care about any problem then you have to be prepared to identify the source(s)/cause(s) before it can ever possible be solved.
If you only care about tribalism then you will deny, deflect or otherwise try to distract.
Which will contribute to the perpetuation of these crimes against children
@Basildon Joe: “Starmer let those gangs run wild because they did not want to offend the Muslim community and be labelled racist.”
You are wrong about Starmerd, likely because you have fallen for Musk’s poisonous campaign of misinformation.
Starmer “began the prosecutions of the Rochdale grooming gang” when he was director of public prosecutions and reformed how his office “investigates sexual abuse to ensure more perpetrators are brought to justice” (Goldberg, 2025).
While authorities’ fear of being labelled racist was a real issue in these cases, as Goldberg notes, the evidence shows Starmer actually worked to address these problem, not perpetuate them.
When CSE case was initially dropped in 2009, he later supported chief prosecutor Nazir Afzal in reopening it, leading to nine convictions. Afzal himself confirmed that “Keir was 100 percent behind the decision to publicly admit that we had got it wrong in the past.”
Furthermore, Starmer overhauled how sexual abuse was investigated to improve prosecution rates and made it easier to reopen old cases that Police failed to investigate, and the CPS failed to prosecute
The academic research and the many inquiries held shows this failure was linked to a complex institutional failures that went far beyond any one person. Cockbain and Tufail (2020) showed how “responses to CSE in general have suffered widespread and well-documented problems.”
Furthermore, the following enquiries were held into CSE:
1. The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) – announced by then Home Secretary Theresa May in July 2014 to examine institutions including “the police, the courts, the education system, the BBC, and the NHS” (Cockbain & Tufail, 2020)
2. The Jay Report – Professor Alexis Jay’s independent inquiry into CSE in Rotherham in 2014
3. The Casey Report (2015) – also focused on Rotherham
4. The Office of the Children’s Commissioner’s Inquiry into Child Sexual Exploitation in Gangs and Groups (2012-2013)
5. The Home Affairs Select Committee inquiry into localized grooming (2013)
6. The Office of the Children’s Commissioner’s Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse in Familial Settings (2014)
7. Parliamentary inquiry into the effectiveness of legislation for tackling CSE and trafficking within the UK (2014)
8. Ofsted’s thematic inspection (2014)
9. The DCLG Select Committee inquiry regarding Rotherham (2014)

A good news story
Good riddance to bad rubbish, awful dose of a man
Is there any truth to the rumours that the Canadian truckers are going to give him a guard of honour and twenty minutes of sounding their air horns as he leaves?
@Dvsespaña: people are deliriously happy about this over here.
He was just another trust fund socialist, like what’s in our Dail.
Worst PM in Canadian history with doubt a doubt. It’s a very happy day in Canada I hear.
good riddance..another woke clown gone ..
Trudeau, just like his old man Pierre, was one of the worst, if not the worst, Prime Minister of Canada in history. Since Trudeau came into power, the GDP of Canada has dropped by nearly 4%, meaning that the richest province in Canada would be the second-poorest state in America. Unemployment is 7.5%, youth unemployment is 13.8% and the national debt has nearly doubled, with yearly budget deficits of $40 billion. The poverty rate has increased to 23% and multinational companies are fleeing the market due to high taxes and the highest operating costs in all of the G20. Trudeau has also destroyed the healthcare system with his insistence of doubling down on the failed model instead of privatising it. 65% of people have a longer wait time than 18 hours and 38% of people don’t even have a GP.
@Frank O’Hara: And with those facts you’ll still get people supporting him.
@Frank O’Hara: Oh dear!
Who told you this?
Your religious advisor?
Except for the 1st year of the pandemic, which affected all – Canada’s GDP has been growing since Trudeau assumed office, averaging about 3% a year.
@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: That’s a lie buddy. Enough with your nonsense. The GDP of Canada has dropped by 3.8% compared to its 2019 levels. Stop denying reality. Everything I said can be checked out both on Reuters, CBC and on the Bank of Canada’s official fiscal reports. Notice how you haven’t tried to even challenge any other points because you know them to be true. You said to yourself “hmm, which of these am I most likely to get away with lying about if I try to defend Trudeau?” You took a stab and said GDP, well you’re out of luck buster, so please sit down and be quiet.
@Frank O’Hara: GDP has increased every year since 2019 except for 2020, which was obviously due to Covid. It has now recovered since Covid and is higher than it was in 2019. And GDP also increased every year of Trudeau’s tenure before Covid
@Kevin Kerr: I want you to search up something very simple Kevin. Look at the per capita GDP of Canada in 2019 and then look at the per capita GDP of Canada at the end of 2024. I literally cannot explain it any more simply than that. Look up those two numbers and then tell me whether it has declined by nearly 4%. Spoiler alert – it has and if you deny what the Bank of Canada said themselves in their yearly fiscal report, you are denying reality plain and simple.
@Frank O’Hara: no, I won’t look up the per capita GDP as it is the first time that you’ve mentioned it. Why not just say, sorry lads, I meant per capita GDP and not just GDP as I originally referenced, instead of being so patronising?
@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: well my son has lived there for over ten years and says exactly the same thing. He has private insurance to the hilt and still waiting 6 months plus for a scan. His wife who has a tumor at the base of her brain has never met her consultant in person, he phones her instead. Property is beyond the reach of most ordinary people, a leg of lamb costs 100 CAD, it’s gone to hell.
@Kevin Kerr: So you concede that you are denying reality then buddy? I have you given you simple instructions for you to wrap your head around and you are openly saying that you refuse to follow them. Gee whiz, there’s no saving some people. Anyway, there’s nothing more that I can say. I shouldn’t have to do your research homework or spell every single thing out for you to understand. If we are talking about the quality of life for Canadian people, anyone with two braincells to rub together would grasp that it’s GDP per capita that we’re discussing here.
@Frank O’Hara: you really are a vile man who truly believes himself superior to others, typical zio psycho
@Frank O’Hara: you don’t get to give me instructions, as shole
@Kevin Kerr: And you don’t get to have a hissy fit when I give you simple instructions and you refuse to follow them because they don’t fit the statement that you made. Got that buster?
@joe moody: Boo-hoo Joe, let me get out my tiny violin for you. If speaking factual information suddenly makes me superior (in your own words) then I’ll happily plead guilty.
@Frank O’Hara: “since Trudeau came into power the GDP of Canada has dropped by 4%”. This is your opening statement above, and it is incorrect, and therefore I challenged it. You then proceeded to get pretty sniffy with me and another commenter who challenged it, saying that you were correct, and suggested that I look up GDP per capita – why would I look up GDP per capita, when you explicitly said GDP? You then said anyone with two brain cells would know what you meant – laughable stuff!! I come from a finance background – if you’re going to quote a measure, make sure you get your terminology correct. It’s basic stuff. And as for your comment to Joe that you are speaking factual information, you’re not, that’s the whole point here. Grow up
@Frank O’Hara: you are far to up your own ass to see the glaring issue you have with communicating..
Trump has them all quaking already, brillant to see.
@Robert Bell: Yanks are quaking at the prospect of increased prices from Canadian tariffs
@Jack Hayes: And the Canadians are considering switching off their hydro-electric supplies to the northern US states if Trump carries through with his tarrif threats.
@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: Canada will lose. For starters, no military, to defend herself that is.
@Oh Mammy: So you think the US would invade Canada to impose its tarriffs?
How do you think that would really work out, e en if the US military would go along with it?
I could see Trump being impeached for a 4th time first.
@Robert Bell: if nearly 40% of Canadians can’t get a doctor or can only get one sometimes, with their model then Ireland is really screwed and the people were warned plenty. Ireland is a dark country let’s not pretend. it’ll get darker yet ..
Such a brilliant politician, the bold Brendan O’Brien can’t even muster up a few fairytales about him.
2024 one of the hottest on record… I guess comments are closed on that article in fear anyone with half a brain would call out this as utter tripe! With the exception of a week in May and a mild December, most of the year was wet and cold. It wouldn’t make the top 4 of the last 10 years never mind since records began. Comedy gold!
@Jack: I’ll choose to rely on Met Eireann’s recorded data rather than your feelings. Thanks all the same
@Jack: You don’t understand numbers. Fair enough
good man Kevin, go for it, it’s your choice !!
@FoxyBoiiYT: you’re a numerical genius 420!
@Jack: I know what you mean. My comments here haven’t been getting 1,000 plus up votes, which means that the world population is declining rapidly. How else could my brilliant comments not be getting 1,000 plus every time!!!
@Numinous20111: you appear to misunderstand.. go educate yourself.
@Numinous20111: he’s right, though, it’s a load of bollocks
Shoulda gone for the black face
It is quite clear, if you look to the east or west, Lefty wokism is dying, quite fast, we rejoice
Perfect example of the quote:
“The road to hell is paved with good intentions”
He went so far left he chased people over to the right.
@Kieran Menon: Specifically, what did he do?
@Kieran Menon: were his intentions good though?
@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere:
Introduced medically assisted dying. Threshold was very low. Homeless people, people in severe pain(not terminally ill) & citizens with depression were encouraged to kill themselves.
Approx 50,000 people since 2016 opted for Medically assisted dying in Canada.
Don’t think Justin had much of a hope.
According to child s€x trafficking survivor, Anneke Lucas, his father Pierre was the most psychotic abuser she had. Pierre Trudeau wanted to k1ll a child for s€xual gratification.
Pierre himself had a murderlust – Justin hadn’t a chance.
@Seamus: NO !! ROBBING THE TRUCKERS
That **gob**shite irrepairable damage to the once great country of Canada. One The plus side, at least he had matching socks with Leo!
Hoping for treason charges.
@Graham: LOL
Libertarian crypto populist incoming.
@Basildon Joe: ‘Woke’? In what way? presuming you know what ‘woke’ means but don’t tell me … you have ‘your own definition’ LOL
@Basildon Joe:
Essex girl is hit by a car and lies dazed in the road. Passers by rush to help, and a man thinks he had better check for concussion.
“Now listen carefully, dear, how many fingers have I got up?”
The Essex girl screams, “Oh my God no, I’m paralysed from the waist down”!
Great day for the people of Canada, They seem to be all trying to get out of Doge. The lefty Tractors are falling like a deck of cards. Western world is waking up.
Time for the US to take over
@Jonathan Hanlon: Funny
@Jack Hayes: Shut up. Leftism is a dead duck. Get used to conservative life you muppet.
@Jonathan Hanlon: They tried an invasion of Canada, oh back around the 1814s or so.
The Canadians burned the White House to the ground.
The Americans – wisely, if such a term could ever be applied to an American – left them alone after that.
@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: are you on here all the time talking to yourself on multiple accounts because nobody is bothered about you in person?
This year is only getting better. He ruined Canada.
@Dan Murphy: How?
What a great loss to man….’peoplekind’. A more contemptible political figure is hard to imagine.
@n3rd worldorder: until you look at anti disability Harris and see that he’s exactly the same kind of man, a weasel and we know its Tru, Do
Must have something to do with him saying he would comply with The ICC arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu.
Good riddance.
Little Castro is gone
Good ol’ black face, smarmy little git.
The best thing about people voting for Fianna Fail in their droves, is that the line with the Catholic Church is still there, and getting stronger, it is time to get back to family values
Wonder if his replacement will also make a habit of dressing up in Blackface?
Funny how the lefties forgave his racist acts!
@Paul: are the lefties in the room with you now? Eejit.
@Ian: they probably are, they imposition themselves everywhere else, even though they just piss people off
He destroyed Canada, it’s such a shame.
@Pavel Shipilov: No, Canadians that voted him in destroyed Canada.
@J Cronin: y’all voted me back in!
@Pavel Shipilov: How?
@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: elected!
Adios, Justin Castreau. What a manlet that guy is.
The end of woke in nigh
Penguin.
Always a “reset” needed with these guys.
The language is deliberate: a signal of deference and obedience.
Trudeau’s unpopularity is no accidental. He has successfully fulfilled a very specific purpose.
In government for nearly a decade so probably naturally ran its course.
@John Moore: The most sensible comment here.
@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: a good Christian,
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0j1z14p57po
Trudeau’s government introduced medically assisted dying in 2016 – the same yr as California.
Since then California – population 39m – has had about 4,000 medically assisted deaths.
In Canada – population 41m – there have been over 50,000 medically assisted deaths.
The main reason is Canada will kill the homeless & people with depression.
Trudeau is no loss to world politics.
Captain Woke.
What’s all that aboot eh !
2025 could be the year of common sense.
10 years! People have been released for murder less and they Don’t get a huge Pension to go with it! Politicians NEVER PAY.. Despite the Dam Unreasonable Taxes and Privatisation Crap they Force on their own people! RTE TAX anybody???
Bye pric k
I’m on the road again
Got my Michael Collins account
I’m on the road again
A most excellent example of self satisfaction and hubris The end of his tenure, his destructive work complete, thus nothing left to achieve. The end of a most terrible epoch.
