Hard days in Ottawa.
The hostility betwixt the United States of America and northern neighbor Canada was a turn few saw coming. Canadians, generally good-natured and kind, were pushed into a state of bitter rage by U.S. President Donald J. Trump who dislikes poutine, ice hockey and maple syrup. The two countries have, in recent months, slapped each other with tariffs, booed each other’s national anthems and gotten into wicked ice fights.
Things are set to get much worse, though, as America’s Bella Kenworthy, a highly-regarded rookie on the World Surf League’s Championship Tour, just trounced Canada’s Erin Brooks, considered by many to be a prodigy, in round 16 the the Surf City El Salvador Pro down Punta Rrrrrroca way.
The heat featured hit lips, blown tails and bogged rails.
Canadians celebrated as their girl got a score to go ahead, with minimal time left, after Kenworthy fell asleep with priority. It was not to last, though, as the fates gifted her another wave that ended Brooks’ hope.
Trump likely rejoiced in the victory as he once declared, “I deal with every country, indirectly or directly. One of the nastiest countries to deal with is Canada.”
Hard days in Ottawa.
you’re missing out on a wonderful discussion about the Cosmic Wormhole Theory and Poke Recipe
“Nike won’t build factories in the U.S. to make sneakers. That would add more cost than the 40% tariffs,” Schiff wrote on X. “The result will be fewer sneakers sold in the U.S. at much higher prices.”…..add this same sentiment to virtually every other corporation that manufactures overseas. And I would never bitch about the price of Chinese garlic. I can get a 5 pack for 99 cents. If the tarrifs double the price my family will be ok. We just might not be able to retire to some tropical Mexican town on the pacific coast for a few more years.
“Schiff wrote on X”~ this explains everything. Shiff has never been anything but a corrupt politician.
Schiff is a Berkeley educated economist who predicted the 2008 recession. I’ll trust his assessment more than anyone on BG. I am a Berkeley educated purveyor of golden era hip hop, 80s boogie and 60s regional Mexican vinyl. Need an original prom copy of Nas’ “Life’s a Bitch”? I’m your man.
will there be a tariff on her for Trestles ?
LOL! Are we talking about politicians or Wall Streeters?
The Q that is being asked in trader and manager circles is how do you trade the “Bessent Correction” over the next 6 to 18 months?
Whenever the comments push north of 40 you know what direction it went.
A long overdue correction. The professionals are back in charge so as the great Dr once said:
“When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro”
She grew up in Texas and Hawaii but couldn’t make the U.S. Olympic Team so she’s Canadian now, too bad she could’ve been a blonde Mexican….¿porque no chiquitita Erin?….
Almost as pathetic as otto’s post above…
Red Bikini it is!
What’s with the fights in ice hockey? Part of the rules? Just for popcorn or is there some sort of score, like in boxing?
Fucking americans and their weird sports only they understand
I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out
Thanks Obama
What comp was this?
What does that have to do with your assertion that mentally ill men should be able to enter women’s bathrooms because it’s their own “sexytime”, as you say?
and how does Twisted Sister and 80’s MTV factor in.
Explain
Expand your theory….im intrigued enough to pay attention to this novel nexus.
Go on …how did you come to this question? Be thorough please

You think the gay community thinks the whole trans movement has been an abject disaster to the gay cause?
Otto you should have worked on the street as you have all of the dynamics nailed!
Not sure how much surfing she’s done in TX but that’s where she is from. I lived in TX for 3 years and waves are significantly better than most people think. Not sure why Brooke’s think she Canadian. Especially because she would be a shoe in for US Olympic team. Most likely snatching from Kenworthy. Kinda lamo ( “don’t say gay” canidate for The Grit? Chaz) the way WSL or shall I say ASP has athletes rep for countries with minimal ties. If I were a Japanese surfer I would be bummed, as there Men’s team most likely will consist of a Aussie and a Seppo. Unless Kanoa reps for Portugal. Jeez
