It is a practical matter. Practical matters don't mean crap anymore though. There will be a battle and lawmakers will be at it for a long time.

I don't think so.

The President is the Commander-In-Chief of the armed forces.

What he says goes. Period, full stop.

Hope so. They aren't needed and their negatives far outweigh their positives.

Pretty sure they can move to Canada and enlist.

Trudeau seems to revel in his transgender military. I heard they're actually promoting the idea of trannys in service.

According to Lady Gaga, 45% of transexuals between the ages of 18 and 24 have attempted suicide. So let's put them into a high stress environment where it will be difficult or impossible to administer timely treatment, and just see how that works. That's what Obama did last year. Now it's corrected, and these people can do their thing elsewhere, just like people who have food allergies, or hearing loss, or bad eyesight, or any number of things that keep you out of the military.

Being transsexual is a MENTAL disease. So you are for having people with severe mental illness in the military?

NDP defence critic Randall Garrison said Trump's ban is based on ignorance and hate and predicted it will weaken military cohesion.

He called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to condemn the "despicable directive" to show that Canada respects human rights and stands up against discrimination.

"It is wrong and must be called out," he said in a statement.
Because back in WWII, when these guys landed on the beaches at Normandy on D-Day, there was no military cohesion? I love these guys who call for condemnations and censures. It's the puzzy way of making it look like you're taking action without really doing something.

Quote:
"Service to one's country is of the highest honour. Transgender people who are currently in the military and those who wish to serve are, in many ways, the bravest of the brave."


Whole lotta WTF right there. Just wait until they try to "open a dialog" with some Muslim zealot. We'll see how brave they really are.

After the fact transgender ? Go right ahead. Enlist and serve.

Before the fact and want to put your unit (pun intended) at risk during your transformation and have the .Gov on the hook for your operations and medicine ? No.

Anyone that can't see how these things differ, I've got nothing for you. BTW- the military is full of guys and girls that have mental issues. As a leader, you learn to deal with them. Dealing with transgender during transformation is not being fair to those leaders or their charges.

What that fool does in office directly affects Canadians as well. We're your biggest trading partner. It's been a mutually beneficial relationship for hundreds of years. He's jeopardizing that.
It's hard not to hear what he's up to.....it's on our news everyday.
Now the idiot wants to fire his attorney general, or anyone else that disagrees with him, talk about God complex!....

.......and by the way, I don't like ours either.

I'm sure they can find an under the desk job somewhere.

I guess he should have sent a telegraph in Morse code if we are to ignore the trending forms of communication.

Obviously tweets get the job done or know one would know about the issue.

Castro's son Justin gave $10.5 million to an American soldier-killing terrorist because that makes total sense. Trump may or may not fire Sessions, but since he *hired him*, he can *fire him* and hire a guy who won't immediately recuse himself from pretty much everything. However, I think it's more likely than not that the whole supposed dust-up between Trump and Sessions is carefully crafted to give the impression that there is a problem. The effect of it has democrats now defending Sessions, and that's when the other shoe drops. You think Trump is a fool. I assure you he is nobody's fool. Oh, also, renegotiating NAFTA is a great idea. We should have unilateral and mutually beneficial trade agreements between individual nations. Overarching multi-lateral trade agreements are fraught with all sorts of corruption and behind-the-scenes deals that benefit a few powerful people. And if, for whatever reason, Canada decides they just can't do business with the USA, I'll just leave it to you to figure out who gets hurt most.

good call. Canada doesn't like Trump, so Canada should shut off all trade to show their displeasure. do it today, don't wait. shut down the Windsor Bridge, all crossings of commercial nature (tourist money still welcome of course). you'll have Trump begging in 2 weeks. that'll show him, and us.
