I don't think this is true actually, not because I trust what trump says but because I see companies doing exactly what I said, getting out of dodge in China. They're anticipating a long term permanent tariff. I suspect this is due to the fact that the core American demand is intellectual property protection. China as it currently stand is unable to provide such mechanism. Simply put what I'm saying is that they are unable to meet the US's trade demand. Businesses knows this and are exiting China because of it. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoza/2018/07/30/trade-war-casualties-factories-shifting-out-of-china/#34e07055103e

Not really, that was true of previous administrations until now. That's because China's market is an enticing prize for our corporations and wall-street and they kept previous thin skinned administration from making it public. Trump put an end to that. He's doing what he can to reverse that trend. FYI my money is that the tariff with china is permanent. It's a strategic way of decoupling china from the global supply chain. If I were you I'd invest in neighboring countries like India and Vietnam. So contrary to popular opinion the US is doing something about it. But make no mistake this isn't because of some deluded sense of altruism for freedom. Its in America's strategic interest that China doesn't run the world. It just happens that Canada and the rest of Europe prefer this as well.

So the way it works is this, China offer generous amount of loans to host countries with no way of paying it back. They bribe the leadership of said country to keep their position while they hold this debt leverage. Its a vicious cycle, they'll keep financing you to stay in power as long as you sell out your country's strategic asset and do their bidding. You wonder why dictatorship growing, well that's because the CCP is buying them. Case and point, Venezuela, Syria etc...

Sooooo can people marry outside their caste in the smaller town yet?

I don't think they actually want to defend it, its just they're acquiring more social justice points, why else would they have a handy camera man nearby.

There's a running joke with the Islamic fundamental, there's really only one gender, Men and property.

So using the website you gave, data still point to the same thing... overwhelming Muslim and leftist organization. I don't think refuting these facts is a tenable position to be in imo. So why defend it? Why defend the valid criticism of Islam as a "religion of peace"? Islam needs to reform, specifically when it comes to secularism. This abslutely relates to immigration, the majority of Somalis are Muslims. You think they'll just rescind Sharia law when they come over to Canada....? https://www.start.umd.edu/pubs/START_GTD_Overview2017_July2018.pdf

No one is stopping you from doing your own research about the number of suicide bombing and terrorist attacks around the world.

Is this the modern day way of burying your head in the sand? Facts don't care about feelings and opinion I'm afraid.

Well incase you wanted to keep a scorecard between right wing extremist and islamic fundamentalist that the liberal party haven't been telling you. https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/

We weren't asking...

Nah we'll just send you your new driver license in the mail. We do expect an apology for not supporting our steel tariff though.

Should of adopted the melting pot idea before that mosaic crap if you want people to assimilate.

As I've proposed before to other members in this forum, America should annex Canada and complete manifest destiny.

Sounds like they just needed a hug.

Twas' a 1000 IQ chess move to get people riled up and make incoherent argument to defeat.

I'm not sure why Canadians even bother with criticizing us. They should just accept their role as America's little brother. Its not like anyone else would trust another country to actually run the world. Does anyone really want China to be the next hedgemon? The reason why america is better than any other country is not its military or imperialism. Its much more than that. Something call american exceptionalism. Our country is unique in history because it was the first country to protect the individual from its own government. There's a reason why freedom of speech is not the third or fourth ammendment. Same with our guns which you all seem to hate. There's a reason why the second ammendment is second only to the first. Speech and a well a regulated militia spells out significant distrust of a tyrannical government. Think about it Canucks, who establishes a government with a founding principle of limiting its own governance? No one except uncle sam. This is why America's constitutional republic is superior to the european and canadian democracy. The propensity of government is to become larger and more tyrannical, there needs to be a system of checks and balance to limit this. If you think the main reason America is better than any other country is because of its military and imperialism then you haven't really thought through the low hanging fruits offered by the postmodern leftist.

I think you are being intellectualy dishonest. Here in the US islamist extremist are still responsible for the most victims if we are talking headcount. Remember 9/11? Also your argument seems to boil down to colonial imperialism, typical play book of the post modernist. Discounting the fact that the Quran is written down by 6th century war lords with no reformation period. There's a reason why Islam IS NOT a religion of peace. It advocates for a theocracy much like ISIS. The post enlightenment west adopted secularism with regards to christianity because of the catastrophic war in europe involving the church of england and the pope, Islam has yet to do so. This is the real reason why islam is not a religion of peace. You may want to check your post modernist playbook for intellectual dishonesty.

As if charlosttesville represent everyday life when two people disagree.

To put it in perspective, being rude to someone or saying something mean can be considered hate speech and therefore be liable to the state sending people to jail. Regardless of what hate speech is even overtly racist rants, should still be protected under free speech. This is why I think the american protection of free speech is superior. Most western enlightenment ideals outside the US is fading. This notion that hate speech is the justification to silence people lead to the gulags and concentration camps.

Oh so saying anything that disagree with you is hate speech and is therefore justification to send them to the gulags? Sounds familiar hmmm

Can men wear it too? what if you identify as a women in Islamic society?

HA! I could remember not too long ago I said the exact same thing and got called out for being Islamophobic by other members here. Like there are real and legitimate concern with Islam as it currently stands. Especially the fundamental 6th century interpretation as well as the lack of secularism to be compatible in a liberal democracy. How are we to acknowledge these serious criticism of Islam without being called a racist by the social justice snowflakes?

false narrative. The only reason why you don't see as much Muslim terrorist in America is because we vett more of them here than Europe. There's not much the government can do about homegrown terrorist unless we all be subject to a police state.

I'm under the assumption that there were something like 40,000 draft dodgers that went to live in Canada. My proposal is to have them serve some sort of symbolic house arrest for desertion and allow them to reapply for citizen ship.
