I’m no fan of Michael Moore’s politics or his propaganda films sold as “documentaries,” but there is one entry on his résumé that I thoroughly enjoy: Canadian Bacon, featuring the great John Candy in his final film. Moore wrote and directed this comedic gem about an American president starting a war with Canada in order to gain traction in the polls. Candy, one of Canada’s most beloved entertainers, plays a hilariously anti-Canadian American sheriff who is thrilled about taking up arms against our northern neighbors. The whole thing is top-notch farce earning a funny disclaimer in the final credits: “No Canadians were harmed during this production.” Strangely, it’s Moore’s only non-documentary effort in three decades.
Or maybe it was one of Moore’s first documentaries, and he just didn’t know it. I say this because Canada’s Chrystia Freeland (one of Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum clones and the granddaughter of an actual Ukrainian Nazi) promised this week that she will enter into a military alliance against the United States should she become the next prime minister. It’s always loony-leftist women with “crazy eyes” who threaten nuclear war over hurt feelings -- the same loony-leftist women who pretend that all war would magically disappear if only women (but, egad, what’s a woman?) ruled the planet.
Freeland’s warmongering rhetoric against President Trump and the U.S. is no surprise. She’s simply channeling the primal screams of Canadian Karens everywhere who really don’t like that Trump continues to offer the people of Canada an escape hatch from the Trudeau family’s Marxist destruction: becoming America’s 51st state. The rest of the world would kill for the opportunity to join Team U.S.A., but so many of the loony-leftists who live inside America’s hat have mistaken American protection for Canadian power that America’s goofy little brother

Congress used to require newly acquired lands to during “territory” status, then apply for statehood, either en masse or in subdivisions. Worked reasonably well, and the parties tried to balance the admission of 1 state with another of the opposite party affiliation.
“ That would get us close to a 2/3 vote in the Senate”
That would give the DEMOCRATS a majority. Canada is more Left than us.
There is only one kind of bacon. Canadian.....french.....faux.
But they sure love coming down here to get medical treatment. They also love spending their winters here. So, they love to take advantage of what the U.S. has to offer them. Typical liberals.
Many of those who are now the leftist extremists in Canada are the descendants of Tories who either left on their own or were thrown out of the USA at then end of the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.
I deal with several lumber sales people in Canada. Generally people in the lumber business are all pretty conservative salt of the Earth types. The three Canadians are all liberal to some degree.
One is very liberal.
One is moderately
One is more middle of the road.
However, none of them were fans of the trucker strike in Ottawa. I am sure they were all vaccinated for C-19.
Ontario is OK as long as you peel off metro Toronto. Quebec, the Maritime provinces, along with Vancouver you can feed to the wolves :-) You can think of Canada as America’s Belarus, a not quite sovereign appendage that is expensive to maintain and annoying. I say 54’40” or fight...but only for stuff west of Georgian Bay and east of the Vancouver suburbs.
I don’t envy you having to deal with them in that Canadian industry. My dad dealt with the northern Michigan timber industry decades ago and made lifelong friendships.
