“I’ve been to Canada in recent years and its quite a sight to see at swimming pools with the burkinis “coexisting” next to the bikinis but of course one wonders if a few generations into the future the Sharia standard will apply.”

Interesting. I lived there (Calgary) for 3 years, back in the early 2000’s. Loved it. Seemed very free and capitalistic especially for one like me coming from Massachusetts. The Premier of Alberta at that time was a pro-business high school graduate who drank a lot.

Refreshing!

But now I’m guessing it’ll go full Germany sooner rather than later, and they’ll be Canadian “refugees” wanting to escape the “no-go rape zones” and emigrate down here.

We need to let Canadians know in no uncertain terms:

You can’t escape down here, you’re NOT welcome, we don’t need hordes of Canadian pajama boys and their anti-American feminist wives.

Keep that in mind as you let sharia spread.

Many of us up here don’t like the pajama boys and fembots either, and outside the urban bubble, we have a whole wilderness to wait it out in. Let’s see how this looks after a few infrastructure failures and a bad winter.

You're talking about King Ralph! Like President Trump, he was somewhat of an outsider who made his way into politics. DJT was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, while Ralph, growing up in a broken home in the Tuxedo Park neighbourhood of Calgary, was born with, if anything, a plastic spork in his mouth.

There are other similarities. Both were media personalities, (of course we all know of DJT's) Ralph being a reporter for CFCN, before deciding to run for, and win, the role of the Mayor of Calgary in 1980. He raised a stink, referring to the 'Eastern creeps and bums' (think: 'carpetbaggers') moving to Calgary during the late '70s, early '80s oil boom.

He switched to Provincial politics winning the Calgary-Elbow riding in 1989. Like DJT, his party 'elites' did not like him. The Progressive Conservatives (PCs) had lost their way, borrowing too much money and being anything but 'conservative'. Ralph was not liked by the PC insiders, yet he surprisingly won the leadership in 1992. As leader of the PCs, he also became Premier. The PCs under Ralph, maintained power until 2006, when he resigned after he won (by a mere 55%) a leadership review.

Since that time, Alberta has been led by an assortment of disappointing Premiers, from 'Don' Ed Stelmach of the Vegreville 'outfit' to (very Red) Alison Redford. Eventually, the PC's were tossed out in May 2015, when the socialist NDP came in with a majority.

Ralph cut government largesse, balanced the budget and even provided Albertans with a 'Prosperity Bonus' of $400 each. About the only negative thing I can say of Ralph, is that the destruction of the Calgary General Hospital, with no replacement yet built, was not a good choice, but compared to what he accomplished, it is a minor thing.

I see a lot of similarities between Premier Ralph Klein and President Trump, mostly all great similarities but a few not so great similarities.

As an Albertan since 1991, I can loudly proclaim, "Ralph, we miss you SOOOO MUCH!". Hopefully, Andrew Scheer, the new Canadian Conservative Party leader, can win during the next Federal Election and bring us back from the precipice that Turd-owe has brought us to. Hopefully, the AB PCs and Wildrose Parties will merge and a true CONSERVATIVE party will emergency provincially, also.
