It's nice to have some of your deep thoughts to balance out all the crazy in this thread. Thanks for your contribution.

I'm playing down to your level because everything from the right has become such an emotional existential crisis for you recently. It's a constant barrage of riled up nonsense.

Three people discussing how to use other people's money (taxpayers) to enrich themselves and their cronies. nbd.

Where is a tactical drone strike when you really need one?

For a guy who is so passionate about fixing the large scale problems currently affecting so many in the USA he certainly has a ton of time to golf. Wish I was efficient at work as him and could do a full round every 5 days.

Probably trying to fill the Trudeau leadership vacuum.

What would constitute sanity? Another 4 years of trudeau federally, 4 years of nenshi provincially and maybe 4 years of Gondek locally?

Smith basically handed Trump a " Look how the Canadian's are starting to fall into line" on a silver platter.

Join a protest march in Calgary this coming week, where we will raise our voices together for protection of this area for clean water and wildlife.

The protest has been scheduled to coincide with the Alberta Energy Regulator's hearing on the latest proposal from Northback Mining, who are seeking approval to re-start the Grassy Mine. A number of protests have already taken place leading up to this, but this march is timed particularly well to capture the attention of the government and the greater public.

If you are available, please consider joining us. And feel free to forward this opportunity to others who might be interested.

Date: January 14 at 11:00
Place: 250 - 5th Street SW, Calgary

Will it mean I can finally grab a 2L beer from the fridge next to the milk, instead of crossing the parking lot to another store?

Paging MBates?

I now understand that this treason position is bubbling up from the left wing echo chambers. Seems like every other comment on Smith's visit to Mar-a-Lago in the left leaning Reddit communities is throwing around treason.

Ok, I’m on board. I don’t currently have an American Eagle decal or lift kit on my truck, but I assume that will be part of the citizenship process. Wonder what the other requirements are? Mandatory his and hers AR-15’s? If I have to start listening to country music, that would be a deal breaker.

Well, I’m sure the trucker convoy types think this is great, but many moderate conservatives find this to be questionable. Probably not treason, but an out right ####ty look with that half smile next to the MAGA hat and Kevin O’leary? Why KO? Just stupid.

I also thought about it myself. Sometimes people come to the same conclusions separate from the thoughts of others. Weird, right?
