  1. America didn’t fight this war on our own. We have partners, some better than others. But you Canada, you’re on the naughty list.
  2. I never understood this sentiment. For demographic reason alone China is petering out. They are running out of workers! They are an export driven economy. There are no longer a consumption base to make China an economic powerhouse. Their demographic dividend came and went, there isn’t a supply of cheap peasant labor that justify the manufacturing model in China. Mexican labor is cheaper and more productive. The Chinese isn’t going to buy Canadian goods or services, or anyone else’s for that matter. The Chinese would need to export to every country just to maintain their current economy, and every country has put up trade barriers to China. The Chinese goal has and always was to hollow out the local competition. That’s what they did to Brazil and parts of American manufacturing.
  3. We need high end weapons for proxy wars? As in give Taiwan and Ukriane our best fighter jets and weapons!!!?????? How about no, Ukriane get our leftover from the 80s . Taiwan will get a boat load of cheap drones. Also wasting them isn’t the right word, sure there’s always a concern of running out of ammunition. But that’s not the right perspective, Americans value their service members lives more than pearl clutching like other cultures. Using those high end munition to avoid putting our service members in harms way is why we use them. @Army Guy
  4. Are we expecting to fight Russia and China in a conventional war soon? To defend deadbeat countries like Canada, who has nothing useful to contribute? If America fought China and Russia it wouldn’t be with the stuff we’re throwing at Iran okay, the world would be a nuclear furnace within the in the first 2 hours. No the war would be through proxy like Ukraine and Taiwan.
  5. Just about every part of Mississippi, cold and wet Mississippi, central Mississippi, I avoid the French speaking part of Mississippi, they refuse to speak English for some weird reason. Mississippi island was nice. Their garden was beautiful but the ferry line queue is a bit much during peak season.
  6. You mean Canada? Sure plenty of time. AI tells me Based on 2023-2024 data, Mississippi’s GDP per capita (approx. $50,000–$53,000 USD) is roughly comparable to Canada’s national average. While sometimes cited as poorer, Canada's economic output per person is often lower than even the lowest-ranking U.S. states, making its average economic footprint similar to Mississippi.
  7. Yes apparently this is preferable than cutting a deal with the Americans. No worries though, as the 24th province of China, you’ll be able to afford the finest random roadkill and trash veggies, prepared in the best oil pulled from the broadest sewers in Beijing!
  8. I believe that everything has its place. Like a tool. You’re not going to ever get rid of the need for petrol chemicals that are the feed stock in most manufacturing and chemical industries. While renewable are technically cheaper to operate since fuel is free, the upfront cost to produce a solar PV and wind farm are all up front. In a world with high borrowing costs it may not make sense from a project financing standpoint. a natural gas plant cost 1/3 up front build cost and the rest are fuel cost for the life of the plant. Maintenance is a wash between these option. The cheapest long term was and is nuclear but has the highest upfront construction cost. So what tool makes sense ?
  9. Has @robosmith told you about cow farts yet? I really want to call out this hypocritical environmental green push. If you want to save money because electric car are cheaper to operate and potentially manufacture then fine. But don't be dishonest.
  10. Oh trust me we know. The best way to handle ideots is to take advantage of their stupidity. Which is why, the longer and more stubborn you get, the cheaper it is to buy up your country for pennies on the dollar. It won't help, both side of the political isle support this protectionist approach to international trade. Want to access our market, become a state, else pay your entry fee like everyone else. So don't think we're doing it out of spite. We're doing what is good for you as well Canada. So take your medicine.
  11. Well I expect Cannucks to do what they do best, stubbornly refuse to do what the American ask, even if it was for their own good.
  12. We’re making piracy 🏴‍☠️ great again! The boats that we can blast out of the water like drug boats? Because it’s useful for American interest. A reason to stay. A reason to send all shipping to Texas for oil. Screwing over China. Many reasons. Take your pick.
  13. Oh I doubt that, Trump will be with you until your dying days.
  14. That doesn’t make Canada a country nor justify any cultural differences with Americans.
  15. Canada is not a real country, it is a unincorporated territory of America. The people living there have a make believe identity called Canadians. They are originally American colonist that sided with the crown and fled north, thus sharing common ancestry and culture with… Americans.
  16. Put our liquor back on the shelves and drop your milk protectionist nonsense. Then you may come negotiate. Or spend this summer in time out like you did all of 2025.
  17. Invasion ? That’s an insult to American military might. You’ll get your new driver license and passport in the mail mmkay.
  18. Steve Bannon warned about this, the Iran war will be the litmus test for MAGA.
  19. It’s time to make Canadians, Americans again!
  20. Don’t forget the slave labor in China @herbieis perpetuating!
