“On behalf of decent Canadians, my apologies for our Jackass in Chief. I hope President Trump makes Lil Justin cry like a girl this time.”

Well Judy, the cold hard fact of the matter is that Canada, along with the host of deadbeats in Europe, have been “happy” to let the American Taxpayer shoulder an inordinate percentage of the NATO budget since NATO’s inception. But it’s been our fault for letting all of you get away with not paying your agreed upon share.
So not the question becomes, are you and Europe willing to test Trump’s resolve and not pony up? In reality, America has “paid” for you all to run your socialist governments. We have been your “other people’s money.” So if Trump, and I hope he does, make substantial cuts to our country’s contribution to NATO, what will all of you do? Are you still betting that we will continue to pay out of our own “self interest,” because if you are, I think you are in for a surprise. I hope we’re done being the world’s financial nanny and supplier of the blood for all the world’s wars.
And frankly, I view Canada as a major freeloader, in many areas including tariffs. America will win the “trade war” with all of you!

I am well aware that the protection afforded us by the strong defense of America is what pays for a lot of our social programs, including the “free” health care. I don’t blame your president one iota for righting these wrongs. I hope Trump wins this battle on tariffs as well. I would love to see American dairy products up here. We are paying high prices for our cheese/butter/milk etc., to keep our farms earning good money, rather than having to sell in a free market.

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. After people have been in the country for 20 years or so, albeit illegally, it’s pretty hard to get them out. Your “leaders” of the past have made life pretty tough for your president. Same thing with getting countries to pony up their agreed upon and fair share of NATO. They never should have been allowed to skate for years. God bless your president, and a pox on my pathetic prime minister.
