51st state

[WiltonRanch]

Still think we are in a pre war phase. So many similarities to that of pre ww2.

I laugh at Trump trolling with 51st state talk. Canadian news and federal liberals giving it any oxygen is faf. You can’t take it too seriously or you look as foolish as flat earthers. I try to avoid any msm newscasts as I want to throw something at the tv and I’m too poor to be replacing them all the time but last night I caught the ctv 11 pm indoctrination session. My god no wonder I refrain from this crap. I follow news broadcasts from all over the world and between Fox News and cbc/ctv we have some of the most dummied down sensationalist bs akin to Russian propaganda for low information water heads. It insults people’s intelligence or intends to accommodate and foster lack thereof. No wonder anyone with an ounce of critical thinking has left msm viewership.

I believe you got that wrong new guy. The democrats had way more billion
dollar people supporting them than the republicans. We have to start living within our means yo can not spend your way out of these messes all over the world. All western countries have massive debts and that stops somewhere maybe not tomorrow but fairly soon

So Trump ships out a bunch of people out of the U.S. Elon fires a massive amount of government employees. Add tarrifs .Government makes massive amount more money but increased unemployment and higher inflation but not tax for the wealthy.Many illeagals work on farms slaughter plants etc.If no cheap labour available and imported food has a tarrif tax how will that make America great when the grocery bill goes up another 50% .And this would not be global inflation it would be specific to the United States.

Lot going on there.
Maybe the increased unemployment from the massive government firing will take those slaughter plant jobs?

I am amazed how people react the way they do towards what Trump says he is gonna do. It would not be hard for few people with a white board to come up with a bunch of low hanging fruit that will have a lot of interest with US voters. He doesn't care about others outside the US. Illegal migration is a huge problem in the US (and Canada) that the current administrations will not fix. Cross border drug trafficking is bad. Look at all the problems Canada has with foreign persons trying to influence elections and so on. The US is concerned about this too. We as Canadians have to get our own house in order, ie spend more on defense, border security, and the immigration strategy. It seems a decent system that worked was wrecked and overloaded in Canada in just a few years. We can do a hell of a lot to show leadership to other countries including the US. I was in Chicago a few weeks ago and downtown there is literally a migrant woman with small kids begging on almost every corner(with winter coming on). Almost all appear to be central American. Its nuts

[wrongway]

those people begging are in all liklyhood kicking up to the SA gangs who payoff the cops and local gangsters...nothing happens without graft

Department of education .As Ellon says he will shut that department down.to the fields and slaughter plants? Pretty sure that is not in the minds of making America great again.plan.

There is going to be alot of pain around status quo is not an option you can not continue spending 30 percent more than what is coming in. It is going to be painful no doubt about that.

Having worked on a cut and kill floor I don't see government office workers fitting in to well

Alberta and Manitoba have committed to more security on their borders with the US.

Secure borders from people coming INTO Canada.U.S. should secure their own border of people going INTO their country.Trump seems to misunderstand the simplest things.Like we will build a wall and Mexico will Pay for it.The U.S. is subsidizing Canada.and a tarriff will be paid by Canada and Mexico and put trillions in the American government bank account.

Big Fat Ontario is quaking in its boots. Trump’s tariffs will crush their auto industry and that province. Pity we don’t have a leader who realizes we have to quit this insane invitation of terrorists and illegals. Trudeau is willing to sacrifice the country for his crazy ideas. Trump says Wow Punk.

It’s a perfect time for Western separation. let Ontario and Quebec sink or swim. They are the the crafters of their own ship now.

It’s quite simple , all those fired useless government employees can go work on farms and do something useful for a change

Trump cares less on who comes INTO Canada from the States .He wants Canada to stop people going INTO the States.If the States can not control the illegals coming from Canada and going into the States there is something wrong.Because the numbers of illegals are very small traveling that way.

I get your point. But I do feel our borders too porous.
One can only hope every muse from DTs' lips is just that.
Otherwise it'll make the result of Smoot-Hawley look like a picnic.

Which direction is our border porous? Never heard of people going south as a problem as Trump claims.
