Conrad Black: And just like that, the Trump 'threat' disappears
Conrad Black: And just like that, the Trump 'threat' disappears
The real threat was the combination of Trump and a simpering sycophant Trump wannabe as prime minister.
The threat is reduced with Carney.
A quick search shows that Conrad Black was convicted of "felony fraud and obstruction of justice". Donald Trump pardoned him. So the man is a convicted fraudster with close ties to Trump. There is not enough salt on earth to take with that man's opinion.
Conrad Black is human garbage. That's what passes for news at the National Post.
Conrad Black is a POS.
Couldn't agree more.

I thought that name sounded familiar.
Trump never uttered one word implying an aggressive act against the independence of Canada. He said that he thought the Canadians would do better as Americans after a voluntary federal union, and it was refreshing to hear him repeat this past week that if Canadians were Americans they would not only benefit from lower taxes but better health care, as well as being able to dispense with the defence budget altogether, since it has come so close to eliminating it anyway. Two whole generations of Canadians have been force-fed the fraud that Canada’s health-care system is superior to that of the United States; 80 per cent of Americans receive a level of health care beyond the dreams of any Canadian who does not go to the United States for medical treatment.
Conrad Black can go fuck himself with these misleading statistics.
My brother living in North Carolina needs to pay $1400 a month for health insurance coverage for his family, and that gets paid whether it's needed or not; and we've all heard the horror stories of actually trying to claim health insurance; there's a reason that Luigi is being seen as more of a folk hero than the "terrorist" that some paint him as.
And as for "Trump is just making a sales pitch for a united North America", Black framing it as a friendly offer sharply contrasts with how Trump himself has been framing it; all vinegar and no honey. We'll be "cherished", huh? The same way he cherishes current states with budget cuts and reckless firings?
Conrad Black is disingenuous at least and a dishonest and unreliable narrator at best.
As stated in another comment Conrad Black was pardoned by trump. So he's interested in making trump ok. IMO lemmy shouldn't link to national post.
Also i imagine what magats would say if a foreign head of state called him governor.
Fuck you conrad black, you are a piece of shit, who's had everything handed to you on a plate, and still turned out to be an asshole.
Also, why would we not have to not have to pay for defence? Would we not have to pay that part of our taxes?
Or would Harper, Poilievre and the CPC be in charge again, when our defence spending was at the lowest it had ever been? Because Trudeau raised it 32% higher than where Harper and Pierre Poilievre left it.
I only know the name Conrad Black I had no idea of his political leanings so I started reading the article, and I thought that this must be some form of satire, just slowly getting to the punch line. I continued reading and thought it was taking to long to make it a joke.
I came to read the comments and see that it was no punch line.
Conrad Black rescinded his Canadian citizenship so he could get inducted into the British House of Lords. He's a piece of shit who'll do anything to benefit himself. Fuck him.
Oh that pos yeah I know who he is, I did not realize he wrote rag articles.
What a bloviating batch of bullshit.
Conrad Black should be shot with a ball of his own shit.
Fuck off you criminal nepo baby. Looking out for other criminal nepo babies.
Ah Conrad Black who hangs out with Jordan Peterson, Smith, and Fucker Carlson is here on the American asswipe newspaper to misinform the public once again.
I hope Carney keeps doing things that trigger Mr. Black.
Convicted felon Conrad Black.
