Maybe we/Canada should pay for the wall. We paid 4.5 billion for a pipeline that nobody wants to talk about. Could you imagine the favours Trump would give Canada if we offered to pay for the wall. We could even call it the Canada wall. It would make Canada Great Again!!!!!

I would rather have Trump wall off Quebec and parts of Ontario.

Put yourself into the shoes of families hurt by people that are illegal aliens.....

Like the first nations people of North America? Good job they weren't wall builders or none of us would be here! Irony is not only was the white man allowed free entry to this country they promptly turned around and fenced the inhabitants into reserves. Now you want to reduce their rights further while advocating building walls to keep other "illegal aliens" out. #whitemanprivilege

Since your on the lefts favor topic divide and conquer. I see someday in the future when North America is ran by some trible Religious group from the Middle East the native Canadians will be wishing they had them pasty privileged whites back in power but it will be to late.

Pro trump anti trump dont give a rats.

But will govt workers affected by govt shutdown are they actually working unpaid or just staying home?

The concept of country is just lost on guys like grassfarmer. It doesn't even register so they have these way out arguments.

And I am sure if the first nations could build a wall and had a generous welfare state behind it that they had to support, they would gone ahead and done it. Not too much to oppose when new immigrants voluntarily agree to live in a sod house somewhere.

You better live by your code and return your stolen land. You've worn out your welcome in Scotland or whatever your from and chose to come here to spew your un informed garbage. Also you should be thanking the American's because if they hadn't entered ww2 you would likely be speaking some other language. They sacrificed for you, that's something you will never understand with all your goofy thinking.

Maybe they didn't have time to build a wall - they were too busy genociding each other (Iroquois/Hurons)?

I dunno.

Grassfarmer, has it ever occurred to you that you are benefiting from that #whitemanprivilege you speak of? That if you are trying to guilt trip anyone else, you are also included in the group you disparage? That you are the most lugubrious hypocrite to ever open his mouth, only to fatally shoot himself?

Grassfarmer, what the heck are you smoking? If whites are so bad for living here, why don't you go back to wherever and turn your land back to...whoever.

Daahh, really shouldn't be so tough on you - it appears that you are one neuron short of a synapse.

You may have already won "Stupidest Post of The Year" award and it's only January the 4th.

This post reminds me back in the early 90s just after the oka crisis and Quebec referendum. Some lawyer worked out that if Quebec can separate so can native bands in the province. That was a perfect time for them to have their own referendum and fight to create their own country like they all want. Well it took all of three seconds for them to beg the rest of Canada to take them if quebec separates. Guess we aren't so bad after all.

LOL!!!! Your comment.



This debate can't be won. The Native North Americans didn't receive the best treatment but they sure as hell never received the worst in history either....not that either of those situations justifies anything.

Kinda hard to get ahead being suppressed on a Ghetto(Reserve). Assimilation would have been better but there were two polar cultures though. Industrious Europeans and a more primitive hunting and gathering culture(not that there was anything wrong with that)...go ahead...flame away.

But it's time to look ahead and it's how we move forward that will yeild better results than dwelling and staying mired in the past.

I don't speak my Grandfather's language anymore either! Of course there are afew customs that "linger" but times have changed and so have I. I don't pine for the past, I have it many many times better than my forefathers. But to compare pre and post European settlement conditions on Native North Americans and which time was better is....a matter of "opinion"!

[grassfarmer]

What a bunch of self-righteous hypocrisy - your ancestors all moved here for a better life and opportunity but now you're here and comfortable you seek to deny the same to others. The comment about not being thankful to the Americans for their war performance is an insult to our Canadian veterans - the Americans only joined WW1 for the final year while the commonwealth forces fought for 4 years. In WW2 they only joined in '41 because the Japanese attacked them - there is no indication they would ever have got involved otherwise despite what was happening in Europe.
Maybe we should build a wall on the Canada/US border and let all you folks that think the sun shines out of Uncle Sam's asshole move to the south side of it?

[MBgrower]

The Americans won the war (the pacific and europe). Britain would never have beaten the Germans without them.

[grassfarmer]

They surely helped but they didn't win WW2 by themselves. They did not alter the course of WW1. They have a history of sitting on the fence until they see who is going to win before joining in.
