He's definitely in the age group from which most of these posts relate to.

Not sure why anyone would be proud of being the opposite to progressive.

OK.. Back to the thread.. though this is more the effects of what el Chumpo has done. Mark Carney, distinguished economist, ex governor of the Bank of England (RBA equivalent) and now Canadian PM has made a candid speech at Davos: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01-21/carney-blasts-trump-canada-davos-world-economic-forum/106252354 OK, he has struck deals with China and Qatar, both not high on the human rights records, but importantly, Canadian pension funds are invested heavily in US government debt, and if they offload it and stop buying it, el Chumpo may need to increase those tariffs a little more anyway. Lucky Canada has successive governments that have taken a fairer slice of the wealth from the resources, unlike successive Aussie givernments that seem hell-bent on giving ours away for almost nothing in comparison (then compare to Qatar, Norway, and even Alaska, which are even better at retaining wealth). Imagine the leverage we would have if we accunulated the wealth from our resources properly. Anyway, Carney's speech I think officially heralds the beginning of the end of US domination.

Leave lovely Susan alone. She is a pilot - didn't succeed commercially, which I guess is why she went into politics. (I haven't watched this, but I remeber reading an article in The Age about it).

Here is one article: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01-21/turton-warns-north-korea-has-combat-ready-troops-in-our-region/106246654 I'd ignore him until he responds to a post.. then you know he may be real.

I resisted the urge to answer to avoid thread drift... Ahh, it's not just me 😉 I guess sooner or later the orange one will grace this thread without the drift. I know some want sooner, but I don't with that on anyone until their time has come to a natural end. Out of respect to those listed above on this thread, I will leave it there. (Also out of respect to those listed above, I would prefer a separate thread when the oramnge one kicks the bucket).

It is a copied news release, not an original piece.

No thanks

I suspect the orange idiot will be gone soon

Not a Latin speaker Jerry but they can definitely be cilly sunts.

South Australians pronounce it "Lay-go". Weirdos.

In the lexicon of parents with young children, "LEGO" means "lounge room landmine"

All the best Jerry. Hope you have a quick recovery. I've felt the weight of mine too... Especially the other day when I hadn't warmed up the engine enough and it stalled on the bend at the top of our driveway. It's a rising right hand bend so I had to put down my right foot, which meant I couldn't use the back brake. Fortunately only slid back a metre or so on the front brake before stopping, thought I was going over the edge for a second.

Although my phone as no real links to my social media, I am hesitant to visit the USA, which pains me a bit because a good mate has recently contracted Parkinsons and I would dearly like to visit him.
