Unfortunatly he no longer holds that position and instead,,,,Most recently he served as a special advisor on trade policy to Canada’s Deputy Minister of Finance. Our Deputy ministor of finance " Chris Forbes" is now deputy minister of envirement and climate change, and we all know how that is unfolding,,,lol,,,It seems your link is not updated...

So tighten up the border, like every single Canadian wants. It really is a simple equation. Not sure why the media and "experts" can't figure it out.

Experts!? One word that is overly used for the sheep to get in line and believe what their pontificating on. Most of us go to school, or secondary degree and earn a trade in our respected fields.
Why not use the word professional? Think about it.

If they did I would vehemently ask not to be referred to as an Expert!

So you and I have no idea if this expertise fellow will be nominated for the job. Given Turdos track record he will pick some former pizza delivery dude that is a second nephew to his ex wifes sister.

Canadians will pay for the Big Mouthing Trudeau did about Trump when he lost in 2020.

Trudeau's baggage maybe worse than any of Trumps complaints, if information could be posted.

Trump is not going to screw us if we get rid of Trudeau.

I-5 through BC to Alaska, Fence east of Alberta.

Quebec gets Jagmeat Singh as President and Trudeau as his Bum Boy.

Lol, is that what he promised you? America First doesn't include "except when Trudeau is not in power". Trump will continue to do what he thinks is best for the USA regardless of whose the prime minister.
