Servo:
(sadly) Oh, I wish I was blowing up Prince Edward Island,
And going on to bomb Ontario, heh heh!
(harshly)The destruction of Canada and all of its culture,
Is by far my fav-o-rite scenario!

In order of their bitching about how Trump’s tax cut will adversely affect their countries: #1 The Krauts, #2 The Aussies, and now #3 Canuckistan. If you ever wanted objective evidence of how America has been carrying the world, you have to look no further than “Our Allies,” The UN, and the “Open Borders Crowd!”

Are you sure you want to annex Canada?

I mean, the people buy their milk in bags.

Plastic bags.

That LEAK.

I am not sure our cultures are compatible.

[Spktyr]

Somehow failing to care. America first - not like we don’t have tons of problems we need to focus on first before caring about anyone else.

I love a carbon tax. Now just explain what the tax is on? Carbon is just a big piece of black rock. It just sit there. How does it pollute?

Well gosh

I like my milk in bags.

Fun bags!!!

[simpson96]

Right.

Wait’ll the Canadians see the tailspin their little boy “leader” is going to send them in soon enough.

All the feeeeeeelings in the world can’t change reality.

I think Idaho should annex them.

No thanks. We have enough liberal wankers heading here to escape the consequences of their own lefty choices. It's better fit for Minnesota.

“No thanks. We have enough liberal wankers heading here to escape the consequences of their own lefty choices. It’s better fit for Minnesota.”

Ok but Idaho annexing Canada is a much funnier shape.

Maybe Obama does. After all, he knows some people speak Austrian.

Some Canadian expatriates could have been treated better in estate cases and other cases. It’s also rather base and embarrassing for political people up there to complain about some of their cleaner politicians being “too American.” Canada is becoming a little mobbed up.

Previously, Canada could boast about lower business taxes: the Canadian average combined federal-provincial rate of 26.7 per cent, compared favourably to an American average combined federal-state rate of 39.1 per cent. That advantage is now history: with passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the new average American rate is just 26 per cent.

Obviously, Canada should abolish its corporate tax and, recognizing the stupidity of business taxation, exempt business profits from taxation until paid out to individuals.

Then the US should do the same and, at the individual level, reestablish the Reagan rates. Thereby restoring Canada to its proper place in the order of nations.

[Vendome]

Well, it is Canaduh...
