The only way for Canada 🇨🇦 to survive the Trump fiasco is with PM Carney as leader at this time and place.

We may not always agree with his policies and actions but consider the alternative.

What I find most troubling about this article is the GOP's escalation of accusations that terrorists, drugs and criminals are entering the US from Canada
This rhetoric is dangerous, as is this bill
IMO, this follows Trump's 51st State agenda

In what twisted universe could anyone earn a “peace prize” while simultaneously waging war against their own citizens? If Trump's name ever graces the list of past winners, it will be the poison to the heart of the Nobel Prize's integrity and prestige.
Nobel becomes a farce, at the very least.

Is 'transformative' always viewed in a positive light?

Trump is a transformative president. He transformed America into a fascist regime so quickly that the world cannot keep up with the fresh hell he’s creating on a daily basis.

Nearly half of Canadian Conservatives say they approve of Donald Trump, despite his trade war and threats of annexation — not to mention his government’s fascist tendencies.

This should tell you everything you need to know about the state of the Conservative Party.

/3 We would not have all of the incredible social programs, along with our Universal healthcare without our taxes in Canada, anyone who complains about our taxes, would be complaining so much more if they had to pay for everything out of pocket, and we don't have medical bankruptcy in Canada.

Have an American walking into my posts saying we pay high taxes, and get nothing out of it, let me clarify for people who don't know, our taxes, pay for Universal Health Care, Maternity Leave, Dentalcare, & many other social programs, as well, our taxes are now pretty close to the US /1
