Can a remote island in Canada become a safe harbor for those who want to flee Donald Trump?
The Washington Post ^ | 8 April 17 | Chico Harlan

CAPE BRETON ISLAND, Canada —The first sign of what Rob Calabrese would come to think of as America’s unmooring began last year, just after Donald Trump won his first presidential primary and Calabrese published a $28 website that he’d designed in 30 minutes. “Hi Americans!” it began, and what followed was a sales pitch for an island where Muslims could “roam freely,” and where the only walls were those “holding up the roofs” of “extremely affordable houses.”

Heck, Cuba is only 90 miles away from Key West and it’s a “socialist paradise” and they won’t go there.

Now there’s an idea. Troops get to train, while the burden on society is reduced. A win win.

I always enjoy the irony of Muslims who hate the West and the lifestyles that their liberal supporters so very much enjoy spreading.

Can we use their island for Live Fire Arty practice?

What is 'arty' practice or is that a typo?

I do like the live fire practice idea though.... ;D

You left out that Islam is a recipe for making war; not peace.

The lefty-pefties couldn’t stand the climate change in Cape Breton. Summer is two months: July and August. The rest of the time its winter.

They got good fiddle music and highland bagpiping around the Margaree Forks at the Normaway Inn.

Looks like it was meant as a kind of joke but the island is in need of new people or it will eventually die off. Apparently they need new Canadians but some refugees also show up.

At a quasi-resort town in Arizona I used to live there were Canadians living there up to 6 months a year to get away from the frigid winters in their retirement years. Almost all of them said they would like to stay longer but if they stayed in the USA longer than 6 months their national healthcare plan would be suspended. I guess they have to live and pay taxes in Canada for 6 months of every year for that and maybe US immigration reasons. In speaking with them I couldn’t tell they weren’t American so they blended in easily. Never met one I didn’t like either but that was before we entered into our political civil war here in America. Pre-summer of 2015 when the 2016 election season started.

“Canada has very strict immigration laws” Unless you’re a “special” case(moose limbs?). If justine trueDOH has his way it’ll be even more of a free for all.

No ice cubes floating around on Cuban beaches unless some westerner spills a drink.

Madonna left for about 3 days but she’s the only one who’s even halfway lived up to their promise to leave.
