Why is it some people think non-Americans have no right to put our noses in US politics? Specifically, why shouldn’t I? As Canadians, everytime the US sneezes we get a cold! What happens in the US directly impacts us in our nation.
If this hatred in the US between the left and the right, the blacks and whites, and different religions continues to escalate; it won’t be long until blood is shed once more in the US. What then happens to Canada? We’ll be dragged down as a society together with you. Heck, we’ll be overwhelmed with American refugees fleeing the violence, especially from the cities.
Sounds exaggerated? Perhaps, but should we wait until things get out of hand, especially in black-majority cities filled with people with chips on their shoulders against “whitey”?
I find it humorous at how some “conservatives” are outraged at non-Americans like myself for saying in public what many of you are saying in private. Somehow the fact I was born 40 miles outside the US border magically invalidates what I have to say. Hmmm ...
I did not mean my comment to be disparaging of Canadians, and your comments are quite welcome, athough seemingly a little over the top. In fact I have investments in a couple of Canadian companies in the oil and gas sector that are doing quite well compared to some dogs I own on this side of the border. My Irish ancestors emigrated thru Montreal (Grosse Isle) in 1851, and some of my great-granduncle’s children were born in Toronto.
Bloodshed?? I hardly think were remotely close to that kind of thing in the USA. We had our black race riots in the 1960’s. That era is over. The only remotely possible conflict that might take place is between black and latinos, especially in the Los Angeles area. The gangs, Asian, Black and Latino are virtually at war there today. However, the LAPD and FBI are keeping close tabs on those groups, and have rounded up a bunch of them.
I think the migrant flow, although hard to quantify, is mostly from Canada to the USA, not the other way around. I do not see any scenario where a large flow of Americans would be emigrating to Canada.
