I am just happy that Trump doesn’t need to bother visiting after his inauguration.

Thanks Trudeau.

Yes, that’s an unfortunate inevitability.

Elizabeth May of all people had the best response to Trump's inane Canadian annexation comments. Essentially extending offers of Provincehood to California, Oregon, and Washington - and added the sweetener of free healthcare, gun control etc.

It was a great response. Mind your own yard, cheeto

I'm no leftie...its not rocket appliances to see what Trump has done here though...He won one demographic, uneducated whites.

He pretends to be a Christian and uses boomer bait for power. Sorry if you guys fell for it or continue to fall for it. None of the nonsense he talks about is happening except the tax breaks for the rich.

Cost of living in the US is not coming down for the average Joe Dirt.

Free Healthcare?? Wow, not sure we can get enough volunteer doctors and nurses to take care of 100M people.

No, one of those people who sees “free healthcare” and can’t functionally comprehend that it refers to “publicly funded and free at point of service healthcare” so they say, “um, well actually…” and everyone has to patiently listen to them act like they’re the first ones to realize something everyone else figured out in high school.

That person.

They are just one of those people who value pure honesty and accurate wording from politicians. Probably been burned by believing lies one too many times.

I mean, the GDP of california alone is almost double that of Canada.

I think we could afford to add them.

If Canada starts grabbing Democratic states, which also happen to be, by far the most economically successful, what's left is going to be about as economically successful as Mexico. Canada would acquire massive wealth generation potential, so it's all pretty affordable.

Its not just what you've said, it's young men and the appeal of "right wing counter culture". Young men have a difficult time seeing how they are valued in left wing rhetoric.
