    1. Not everyone wants to be a mercenary. Your pathetic little ventures in the Middle East are coming to an end, get over it.

      And this is most likely going to be the last war Canada genuinely fights in, and its a defeat.

    1. @Lux mid Canada went to war with China? Do you mean on the side of China against the Japanese during WWII, or what?

  1. Insulted is the understatement of the century! “He’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, Donald Trump is going to just disappear.”

    January 20th, folks. Counting the days. Like a miracle, he’ll just disappear.

    1. @A. James , you might want to figure what fraction of a percentage the virus effected? Before the virus outbreak, the economy was never better, tell me otherwise please.
      He is narcissistic, but that didn’t effect his performance.
      As for the environment, the standards are still much better than just 20 years ago.
      The wealthy pay 80percent of the taxes and will not take their money to other jurisdictions. The wide spread civil unrest is the Liberal idiots.
      I didn’t say he was the best person for the job, read my post again.

    2. Just remember everyone if you have the chance cough into your hand and shake hands with trump or his trumpettes

    1. Bonita Armstrong: No, no, keep her! She’s great for downtown Vancouver businesses – I think she buys a lot of shoes, lol.

    2. Bonita Armstrong it’s up to Canada to send her south. We’re the ones dragging our feet on this

  2. More than 40, 000 Canadian soldiers fought in Afghanistan, 158 lost their lives and more than 1800 were wounded, those great men and women have more courage and bravery in their finger nails than Navarro will ever have in his whole body. 🇨🇦

    1. Although I attend Remembrance Day faithfully every year. I no longer attend Canada day. Canada stands for nothing, I would never encourage my sons to volunteer to serve this country under hateful ungrateful Liberals and majority of the Canadian populace ( fewer and fewer attend Remembrance Day every year , indifferent , busy playing video games or just sleeping one off) you know what I’m saying is true.

    2. @Bob Thibodeau No, I don’t “know” any such thing, and I don’t agree with your hateful depiction of the country. I’d invite you to leave, but I doubt you’d be happier elsewhere with everything going on in the world. Many Canadians still observe Remembrance Day, even if you choose not to.

  3. Bush invoked article 5 of the NATO treaty, Canada fulfilled its obligation as part of NATO. This guy is a quack and does not know anything.

    1. And you lost, your presence made ZERO difference in the ultimate outcome. Either send 100,000 soldiers or don’t send any

    2. @Robo Redneck and the states should have learned from Vietnam.. to fight a gorellia war in another country is a messy business…

      Think this guy was ticked over Canada not joining the 2nd gulf war. After all the money spent.. lives lost… just pull everyone out… hell could have bought land for the price nations payed in war materials and logistics… moved the population and patrolled the area…

      Give them a reason to stand up… give them food.. healthcare… school… security… trying to control a whole country does not work… but the money spent by allies could have bought the whole darn nation

  4. If Mussolini had Navarro, he would have been hung from a light post at least a month earlier. And Navarro would have been hiding in a wine cellar in Sicily.

  5. Judging by the looks of you, it appears that you have a limited amount of time on this planet. Canadians don’t need to know your irrelevant opinions when you have both feet in a soon to be grave. 👋

  6. I’m a disabled American Army veteran. Unfortunately I can’t speak for those who support this farce of an administration, but for those that oppose it, I’m so sorry our fellow comrades in arms from Canada have been disrespected by this foul excuse of a human being.

    1. First off, Thank you on behalf of Canada and its military and to your fellow countrymen and women for your sacrifice and contribution to our freedom that we hold so dearly.
      Secondly, thank you for acknowledging this Creton for what he is. This look at me wanna-be is not and should not be in the position he’s in when he inflames and insults our courageous
      men and women in uniform and disparages those who have put their lives on the line or have made the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you again.

  7. I’m an Afghan, the Afghans appreciate Canadian contributions & the ultimate sacrifices.
    Navarro, on the other hand, he never found any relevance in his life & looking for attention. Watch his interviews, he always try extra hard to make a point, but always fails.

  8. Navarro is a defective personality who has great talent for damaging international relations. I don’t think he realizes the damage he has done. Canada doesn’t have to be an ally of the USA.

    1. @Heidi Mueller We don’t have to be as close with them we currently are. (Although, I personally agree with you)

  9. The worst insult Navarro can come up with is that Canada is “much more kind of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren”? Most Canadians would take that as a compliment.
