The Canadians will never do this, they remember their experiences with the British Army in WWI and WWII.
Waiting for auto tariffs. Hope Trudie really crashes on it.
Agreed. Why should we pay for the defense of Europe when Europe won’t
defend themselves from being over run by sub saharan and muslim trash.
Thank you kindly - Benton Fraser RCMP.
Your a doll Judy. Welcome to the states anytime. How many more years do you have left with the man twerp and can’t he be driven out?
We can get rid of him next year. I’m hoping he hurts himself badly doing yoga and has to pack it in earlier.
Yet they have to spend almost no money defending that vulnerable coastline, because they live next door to the biggest badass country on the planet who takes care of their defense for them.
We spend 54 percent of all federal discretionary spending on defense, and the Canadians snuggle like lambs under that umbrella for free. I wouldn't mind, but then they talk about their grand social programs with a holier than thou attitude. Gee, how can they afford all that?
A lot of people here think that trade with Canada is irrelevant. Did you know that Canada buys more from the US than any other country does. Canada is the only country that the US does not have a trade deficit with.
Canada has a population of 37 million and buys twice as much from US manufacturers as China does.
The #1 selling vehicle in Canada is the Ford F150 built in the USA.
There will be no winners in a trade war with your best customer.
Oh and there will be a winner. The US. I believe that ultimately Trump plans to coax auto plants south.
No offense if you are Canadian but the smug anti-American attitudes will cause us to force you to defend yourselves on your own dollar.
Google this “Canada superiority complex” to read more about offensive behavior toward America and Americans.
“We don’t need our soldiers there for that mess.”
If we don’t help, the euroweenies might lose.
No!
Annex anything West of Ontario, but give Vancouver to Washington State, they are the same super libs. However, Alberta is special. We will just make it Texas North. They talk a bit different than us Texans but those boys are Texans at heart. I worked with them for years in the oilfields around the world.
Give Quebec back to France if they will take it. What the hell do you do with New Newfoundland? Hell, just make it Maine I guess. The Northwest Territories go to Alaska along with their oil potential. The rest of Canada is barren rock but does have minerals and oil potential. The Eskimos lived there first, give it back.
“I will fault your politicians for one thing - and that is letting things go, completely unchallenged, for years. That goes mostly for the illegal immigration. Those slimy politicians have made it very difficult for the law to be enforced now.”
Judy, you broke the code! All of us, both sides of the border, have been completely ill-served by the people we have elected. And I blame our “media” for a lot of it, because they have played politics rather than being honest seekers of the truth. We’ve finally gotten Trump. You guys need to “off” Trudeau and get yourselves an equal to Trump, because in the entire Western Hemisphere, there a only two places free people can hope to live.
According to your own link US had an 8 Billion surplus with Canada. Your counting pass thru goods that are shipped thru Canadian ports for delivery to the US. Most of those goods are from China and should be counted as Chinese imports.
Canada sends over a million barrels of oil per day to the US at below world price. Without oil in the mix the US would have a 30 billion trade surplus with Canada
You would be wrong because the attitude is only displayed toward Americans. I spent 28 years in Washington. Worked closely with many many Canadians primarily rescuing dogs from LA. Still have lots of friends with dogs from me on fb. After that here in northern Michigan the tourist trade from Canada is huge. It is here that we find them to be filled with contempt for us. And on Twitter. The BC folk were much less invested in their superior attitude.
I’m going to get back to you later on a computer instead of a phone.
We tried to annex Canada twice (American Revolution and War of 1812) and it didn’t work out well for us.
