I love Trump’s brain. He’s brilliant. Love that he exposes the truth.

“I love Trump’s brain. He’s brilliant. Love that he exposes the truth.”

You just know that he’s been mulling over these things in his mind since the ‘90s — at least. Decades ago when a guest on talk shows, he has made well-thought-out political statements as to what would be best for America.

Canada would become the most liberal state we’d have, by far. Far more socialist, far more orwellian, far more man hating feminist (hard to believe but true) than we are.

Shouldn’t it be ten states for the ten provinces or thirteen if each territory gets statehood?

What I favor is a blocked currency like India has. The Chinese stuff would get paid for by US dollars that would be lent to the federal government at 0% interest until the Chinese use those dollars to pay American workers or buy American goods.

There would be no tariffs involved, so the Chinese imports would not cost American consumers more money.

The system would apply to all countries, including Mexico, Canada and Germany.

American companies would get no interest on deposits either. If they paid dividends, the American citizen shareholders would then be able to get interest via participating banks.

Remittances to foreign countries by say Mexicans would have to be in the form of American goods and services.

For an American to travel to Europe would mean arranging for a foreigner to travel here via a trip bartering agency.

The existing dollars held by foreigners would remain outside the system. These would become less valuable due to inflation. Interest payments on American debt would be paid into the system.

In my youth, US/Canadian auto trade had to be financially balanced.

That system has to be revived and applied to all countries.

I believe that Trump appreciates that. This line is just another way to pressure them during the trade negotiations.

Wouldn’t that depend on how many states you broke it into? Isn’t Canada similar to the US with liberal big cities and conservative suburban/rural areas? That is my sense but not that familiar with Canadian politics.

Blue-collar, U.S. jobs by the millions have slipped through our economic fingers into Canada & Mexico...

In addition, hundreds of billions in untaxed dollars have been funneled into Mexico and other s_hole countries in the past 40 years...

We have about 60-million diseased migrant-invaders INSIDE this country who are bleeding TRILLIONS of free-to-them social-service dollars from taxpayers pockets...

Sure explains, to a great extent, why our great-great-great grandchildren will still be saddled with poverty and debt...

“The State of New York depends heavily on Canadian hydropower.”

Hochul can build wind farms and solar farms. Or she can just allow fracking and NY wouldn’t be on the hook to Canada.

And I said that to, as I called him Governor Trudeau, I said, listen what would happen if we didn’t subsidize you, if we didn’t.. because we give them a lot of money. We help them, as an example, we’re buying icebreakers. And Canada wants to join us in the buying of icebreakers. I said, you know, we don’t really want to have a partner in the buying of icebreakers. We don’t need a partner.


DJT will have to get up to sped on this - of the 3 new breakers, only one has a completion date, which is several years after the initial completion date. They have a compromised hull design because they are required to travel the open ocean - between the Arctic and the Antarctic.

They are not competitive with the Russian twin nuclear reactor powered heavy breakers, because of the hull design, and because they are conventionally powered. Also they cannot break ice as thick or as fast and wide as the Russian ones - even their older designs.

We need Finland as a partner, because they can build state of the art heavy breakers faster and cheaper than any one else.
