    You know, I’m grateful.

    Hitler lost his grip on reality, after he started the second world war.

    Nazi germany had a terrifying amount of terrible, and competent, people on its side.

    Trump’s administration might be terrible… But competent?

    I’m delighted that our Prime Minister clearly got under Trump’s skin with his speech. He certainly didn’t get his wits from America.

      I watched his whole speech and the Q&A afterwards a short time ago and, as an Australian, all I could think was that if I were Canadian I’d have been very proud to call him my PM. He has such a sensible approach to the idea that the world has irrevocably changed and that middle powers need to band together to stand up to bullies like the USA. He correctly highlighted that the current circumstances are frightening and challenging but has a clear vision for the path forward.

      I, like many others, was concerned that an ex-banker and leader of two federal reserves would just tow the neoliberal line but he’s shown real courage and vision. I hope he continues to back up the rhetoric with action that’s both in the best interests of Canadians but also in the better interests of other middle power nations.

    Freebies? Like, freeloaders? Like all of the people who don’t get healthcare or medicine in the U.S. so they cross the border to get it from Canada?

      When America sends its people, they’re sending their best. They’re sending people that have fewer problems and they’re leaving their problems behind. They’re bringing skills. They’re bringing families. They’re not rapists. And most, I assume are good people.

        Are you implying that the invading force will be grade 4 repeaters who cant spell, understand grammar or complete simple addition and subtraction?

      We get a LOT of mail-order boner-pill ads on mid-evening television. And all our shooting deaths are with guns smuggled over the border. So there’s that…

      ;-)

      Just kidding. That one time America became the only country to activate article 5, word is all the yanks forced to land in our maritimes we’re super nice.

    Yes, thank you for the flood of illegal guns which makes it shitty for responsible gun owners like myself.

    Everyone is laughing but isn’t this how MLs talk about Western countries that benefit from US imperialism indirectly?
