Yep. A lot better than this “beer.”

Back in the early 80’s I opened a bar at Ball State. Started selling imports way before imports became popular. A good customer loved another Canadian beer , Molson. He called it “Mothers Milk.”

I have no idea what beer you are talking about with this "Molson". There never has been a "Molson" in over a century, maybe longer. Molson is the mother ship company (actually Molson-Coors).

And I think the #1 selling beer in Canada now is Bud, brewed in Canada by Labatt, which is owned by Anheuser-Busch. I do wonder if any of you has ever done a side by side taste test to see if they are the same or different though.

I have never thought that Canadian "mainstream" beers were any less watery than mainstream American ones though. The big ones like Molson Canadian, Labatt Blue, are just as light tasting as Bud or Coors or Miller. I think there was a time when our 5% alcohol content was higher than some US beers?? Probably to keep it from freezing as fast when ice fishing.

What I attempted to say, apparently confusing you, was the numbers were cherry-picked to manipulate the truth. The rationale for fewer actual deportations is that ICE is deliberately holding people for much longer. Non-criminals and families are currently spending an average of 60 days in immigrant jails, nearly twice the average stay ten years ago, and 11 days longer than even the convicted criminals. Between Oct. 1, 2018, and the end of September 2019, the Trump administration initiated more than 419,000 deportation proceedings, many more than at any time in at least 25 years, according to government statistics compiled by Syracuse University's Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse.

Bull crap. All sides "cherry pick" the numbers. As they say, statistics are a dubious business. The Trump admin is not doing catch and release. So yeah, they are detained much longer. So what. Catch and release is a disaster. They are not allowing them in in the first place.

You can easily look it up but here's a fact check for you. Facebook has clearly noted that the post violates their factual information guidelines. Next time do some research other than what Trump says. He always lies.

I don't do Facebook, too many weirdos on Facebook. I was serious when I asked to you to show the picture, I wanted to see what you were talking about. Apparently it was some stupid meme a Facebook weirdo posted and it got a few views before it was taken down.

I was actually thinking of a different photo that went viral causing much faux outrage. Thankfully debunked by Politifact.
You'd think you should be able to view Pres Trumps Tweet but you can't, it's been removed. You see, they remove not only things they say are a lie, they also remove things that are true. If they don't like you they might erase you altogether.

The idea that Twitter can tell the POTUS they won't let him speak, and tell 330 million people we won't let you hear what he has to say......well, that's a whole 'nother thread for sure.
Trump correctly tweets that Democrats mistakenly tweeted photo of child migrants being held in 2014 https://www.politifact.com/factchec...correctly-tweets-democrats-mistakenly-tweete/

You're full of crap. Democrats don't lie. Check the fact checkers. :)

Whatever happened to "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,..." engraved in bronze on the base of the Statue of Liberty? America, like Canada, is a nation of immigrants. Immigrants built America. You or your ancestors were welcomed but now you are fearful and want to close the door.

Before you lecture us on what our ancestors intended, perhaps you should learn the difference between an illegal and an immigrant. Those who fail to understand the difference have nothing to contribute to the conversation.

Indeed. I’ll also add to that in saying we are a nation of “citizens”, not immigrants.

Yeah, we get illegals, too. They all come up from the States. We should build a wall and get the U.S. to pay for it.

Well you are wrong. Gasoline prices move up and down for many reasons. But if you want to isolate all price movements to Biden then you need to be sure to give him credit for the next time they drop because the OPEC countries start fighting and increasing production. It’s ridiculous.

on the other hand in Canada I can definitely blame Trudeau for a portion of our higher gas prices and that is because there is a direct measurable carbon tax imbedded in our prices up here. I disagree with it but at least it’s transparent. But I don’t blame him for the rise and fall of gasoline prices due to global commodity prices moving or for big oil gouging around long weekends and trying to say it is natural supply and demand.

Fuel prices are speculative, not usually reactive unless it is an unknown event (oil rig explosion, etc). Biden's plan is a known event. My son will probably be out of a job over this. He is a safety coordinator for a large company that builds pipelines. His company has 1000's of employees and I suspect most will lose their jobs

Oh, really. You guys in CA love the illegals when they are harvesting your vegetables, cutting your lawns and fixing your dinner.

Yeah, you get right on with that. If the Mexico wall is any indication, it will never get built either. You guys are all talk and no follow through. So much winning. ;)

Oh, grow up! If you bothered with the link it's from Politifact, checked and verified from several unbiased sources. Facebook was the source of the original picture in Woody's mistaken claim. Facebook has since recognized the suggestion that it was taken in Obama's tenure was untrue. Get it?

Politifact? That may be worse than fb!

You do what you gotta do. Your circus - your monkey. I'll try to resist lecturing you about it.
 
Well, shucks. This thread has had a good run guys! I enjoyed it and thanks for playing. Spirited forum debate without cursing or name-calling - awesome! 'Til next time, back to boating topics.

Well, shucks, we done been told!

Guess the libt@&d just did what they do best and decided for everyone what they need to know/do.
 
My son played travel hockey out of Chicago, played for the Highland Park Falcons. His 14U team won the National Championships. All during his hockey career he played on a few select teams in the off season. They always played teams from Canada. It was great. 17 minute periods, real hitting. We always kicked their asses. They hated that team from the US came up there and beat them at their own game. I loved it. I was one of those dads that rubbed it in to those canuck parents.
Our US Women hockey teams have started beating the Canadians and in the last few NHL drafts US players were selected in the top 5 and top 10.

I don't see any Canuck playing football in the NFL hehehehehehe.

I remember playing hockey games up there when I was a tab bit younger.. It was always intense and they always had homer refs. There was true hate between us and that made it fun.
