What is currently trending on Facebook, in Canada, is the lack of facemasks. They blame Trump for taking care of his country first.
My response to them has been to ask, "Why did Trudeau not take steps to address the shortage before the pandemic?"
The 51st state is upset? Rly? Oh my....../s
“On the other hand people should realize that we were going to be paying 3M for these, it was not some handout that was expected. And maybe we still will be paying them just on a slower schedule.”
I’m sure we’ll work it all out; and both countries will be fine.
I just love taunting (in a friendly way) Canadians, especially on health care stuff.
So all of a sudden black-face isn't good enough for them?
“but they also want to retain their Canadian identity because they think themselves better than Americans.
I should point out that this is a Montreal-Toronto-Ottawa viewpoint and the general liberal outlook.”
If PM Trudeau got on TV and said, “ Our system isn’t strong enough to fight this virus we need help from the USA”
Then I’d be all for giving, for free, all the PPE Canada can carry.
I think the governors know, but they also know that the Federal government will always come in to save them. FEMA was a direct result of inept governors not being prepared to take care of their states, but it has ended up allowing states to completely forego disaster planning.
Citizens will hopefully elect and demand better officials at all levels after this is over. Times like this show the need for smart and competent leaders instead of feel-good types.
Biden and most of the democratic candidates show that they no idea of how to handle something like this pandemic with all of the moving parts being coordinated by the task force. That alone is a concept that only leaders understand. I can imagine Warren saying that she’d appoint only minorities and LGBT folks to a “committee” to deal with this crisis.
I think you are correct
The f’ing Canuks and their going on about their wonderful ‘’free health care.For crying’ out loud go to You Tube and see how much these hockey puck chasing, maple syrup swilling inbreeds look down their noses at us for everything under the sun. F**k them. Yeah President is putting Americans first. That's because this is OUR country and OUR President. That's what he is supposed to do!
Trump and Trudeau both have the duty to protect their citizens first.At this moment it looks like Trump is better at it.
The lefties are always telling us how great it is up there in the land of Screwthepooch.
When I point out that my healthcare system is overpriced GP care, which it is, I get blocked on Facebook.
Socialized medicine’s main duty is to allocate resources in the most optimum way. Saving lives is a distant secondary concern.
Why did Justin send a load of PPE to China, depleting Canada’s stock
Like, we have enough masks in the US to spare?
“When I point out that my healthcare system is overpriced GP care, which it is, I get blocked on Facebook.”
I believe it.
Amazing.
Because Truesh!t, my pet name, is beholden to China. He is also helping them develop their coal and oil, while pressing Alberta to quit developing its resources.
The liberal party of Canada would sell Alberta wholesale to China, if it could. Since it can’t do that outright, it does it in piecemeal by destroying private development and allow China to buy up stocks as private enterprise quits.
Not surprised at FB blocking you. They’re socialist toadies. God Almighty reading this story about Canadians whining about trump putting Americans first just shot my blood pressure through the roof! Arrogant beggars. So much for their ‘’free health care’.
This headline just had me reaching for my blood pressure meds. I’m serious.
*Good fences make good neighbors.
Maybe if they had someone in charge who thought of Canada First, things would be different.
WTF. Why does the civilized world think that it’s our responsibility to take care of them and change their collective diapers?? They have all kinds of people in our country stepping up and transforming their businesses to make masks. There are numerous people in this country making masks on their sewing machines.
I’d like that, but monied interests in Canada’s golden triangle don’t care about the country other than the price they can get for it.
