Only s3 has the 5 mill.

Now why would I need to do that when I could continue to live in the best place in the world (with a notable exception of the current political landscape), and just wait until all of the benefits of being an American come to me?

A5 are you having another fantasy or delusion?

Even PP says it's never gonna happen! And Gretsky says Canada should remain Canadian.

Only whacked out traitors like you get all excited about Trump, Musk and the billionaires!

[AlbertaFarmer5]

You seriously expect career politicians to voluntarily give up power for the good of the people?
I wasn't aware that defeat of Nations was now entrusted to hockey players.

Do you think the Monroe doctrine and manifest destiny are fantasies or delusions?

LEP, or anyone else, a question.
If the US invades Canada tomorrow. Would you send your son's off to fight and die to to keep Trudeau / Carney in power versus the alternative?
Is that a cause worth dying for?

I've noticed that no one has responded in the affirmative to this question. I was called some nasty names by Chuck and forage as usual. But no one seems to be volunteering themselves or their sons to go and fight.

Can you imagine a less noble cause to die for?

So if someone came to your door , would you defend it or negotiate a deal and give them your home?

Seems an little extreme.
But it did happen when the red army ****d and pillaged it's way across Germany at the end of WWII.
Will they be raping and pillaging here?]

Agstar, are you worried that the most democratic capitalist country in the world with far stronger property rights than Canadians have, with a strong Constitution and rule of law, who's prosperity is based on freedom, property ownership and entrepreneurship, is suddenly going to turn communist and take over all private property in Canada?
I will take the other side of that to bet every single time.

If I were you I would be more worried that your federal taxes will go down and the national rules and regulations will be reduced. Judging by your response to doge, it seems that you are a fan of high taxes.

Well, Trump does admit that economic punishment of Canada is his means to persuade us, and to avoid the tariffs, there will be none, if you build your business in the US. How do you propose farmers meet that demand? That sounds like a takeover for us, but only a building and equipment move for a widget maker in Canada. Square the circle, please, because my land can't move. Should the felon have offered us a carve out?

I might not lean on the democratic part too heavily. Their court system seems to be falling apart. There seems to be a law for their oligarch and and a different one for everybody else.
