  1. Every bully’s excuse…”Well, I was just joking around. Gee! Don’t know why they’re upset.” 😠

    1. Who cares stop crying. You sound like a bunch of whiny Americans always complaining. Does his words really affect you that much?

  2. You’d think he would learn to just keep his mouth shut……..another suit with an i.q just south of a bedroom slipper…

    1. Oh, Honey. Just look at his boss.

      We’ll be voting, and then we’ll keep our finger’s crossed. Hey Neighbors, maybe cross yours, too?

    1. Leaderless Country: Where would you get the idea Harjit Sajjan came from Afghanistan? The guy is a Canadian born in India.

  3. “Everytime canadians show up in uniform, they’re doing is a favor. Hows that work?”
    Fighting YOUR war.

    1. minotar janes lol. Exactly. But to be fair…You do also start some of the problems. Canada can’t do anything without American support. Lol can you imagine that?

    2. @Not Entirely Apathetic Oh please do tell what service you’ve done? Especially in the Canadian forces, i’m guess none. So you can get back to playing video games cupcake.

    3. There’s never been anyone except the enemy who weren’t bloody happy to see Canadians show up to fight.

      Speaks volumes about Navarro, that does.

    1. Andre Salazar: Problem is you first have to get Navarro’s nose out of Donnie’s a$$hole where he spends most of his time.

  4. If you’ve ever seen this clown on the news you know he’s not to be taken seriously. He’s a broken record stuck on stupid. When you pull the string in his back all he ever says is, “but CHYNA, but CHYNA”. You couldn’t trust this guy to effectively water a cactus.

    1. Maybe they should have just taken the cowards way out and only used drones like Obama. That guy used so many drone strikes he literally ran out of missiles at one point.

  5. Navarro would be wise to keep his mouth shut and be thought a fool…..rather than opening it up and proving he is ! ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️🇨🇦🇨🇦

    1. Yes but there are many fools in the audience of listeners. It’s they who breathe life into his words.

    1. I’d like to see him stand on Canadian soil and make those comments to the military. I doubt he has the nerve to do it.

    2. @Live Life Our soldiers would probably apologize because our military is a big joke. I’m surprised our government hasn’t dismantled it yet.

  6. I don’t think Canadians mis-interpreted you words. We are far from stupid, besides Canadians are peacekeepers and every military force appears to be clean-up crews for American military….they have a bad habit of making a mess and just walking away from it, been doing it for many years.

    1. We were proud peacekeepers for decades but we spent the last two wearing out our military materiel and troops fighting America’s war of ever expanding scope. We’re currently rebuilding the forces. Hopefully we can get back to peacekeeping instead of military adventurism on behalf of ungrateful allies.

    2. The era of peacekeeping is long gone. The world is becoming too much of a powder keg. Peacekeeping doesn’t work anymore. You need to be committed fully militarily. Our military is so underfunded and under-trooped it’s sad.

    3. Canadian troops have not always been peacekeepers.They were very effective fighters during WWII,and actually advanced farther in to France than any other allied country,including the Americans.We don’t have a huge military,but it knows it’s job well.

  7. Yeah, we all know about Peter Navarro’s military expertise: he spent three years in the Peace Corps, lounging on the beaches in Thailand and sipping Tom Yum Siam cocktails. Like all the sniveling cowards and shirkers in Cadet Bonespurs’ gang, he likes to think he’s an expert on war.

  8. Navarro: the economist who claims expertise over Fauci in a pandemic, is also claiming expertise (insulting Canadians) in military concerns? Ego driven blowhard.

    1. Carol Fraughton he’s not even an economist. At best, he’s an ex-economist, and as an economist, he had a reputation for being the flat-earther of economics.

  9. Another WH clown fool who knows sweet bugger all about anything put in a position that he isn’t qualified for. Vote Blue.
