Look look, that's all in the past now. can we just move on and figure out how to make Canada fear trump.

but according to the fascist handbook, it says here Muricah is NATO

I've learned so many things on this canadian forum, I didn't even know "fascism" could be use as a curse word. Sorry we're not ranked number 3 on the world education report so we have the right to typo things.

Yesss I can see that. The Canucks might see how the reassertion of US dominance by "facism"-Jimwd would benefit them. They might just vote to power a trump of their own... That way, I can finally call Jimwd the facist that he is.

you damn right! good for warding off canucks.

Jimmm y u do dis. Since declaring that half of us are facist , why can't you use bullet points, you know facist can't read long rants....less time for golfing you know. http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/intelligence-briefings-trump-prefers-little-possible

I was going to not say that to spare their feelings.... now we look like them with the smugness.... sigh....

Yes I agree, the housing prices can be comparable in places but generally speaking the salaries are higher in those areas of high housing cost down south. You are also right, there is a non financial cost attributed to living where you choose to live. In the states, we are more financially minded in that a lot of us coming out of school with huge student debt want to chase the opportunity available. That usually means uprooting to a new area and taking a job offer that allows us to advance our career. There is a opportunity cost associated with choosing to stay in one place such as growth opportunities. I suspect the issue is similar for Canadians as well.

Yes i. thought it was nuts you guys take 20 plus years on a mortgage. In the states we finish a mortgage in about 7 years and move on with our lives.

I see a lot of disdained in regards to business regulations. I can only say that we went through the same in America during the Obama era. Perhaps a tax cut similar to the US would boost spending or at the very adopt policies that encourages unilateral free trade allowing economic growth. Because if these trade tariffs are in place, your economy will be expecting a recession.

This sorts of explains our (the us) predicament of gender issues. Read the comment "Didn't realize this was a joke until about 4 mins in. Jesus I was about to defect to Canada." My personal thoughts are that you can't legislate equality without first having discuss the hard issue of should we have unisex bathroom policy and what about those who are pansexual etc...

Look look, we're facist, you're facist , my dogs are facist. It's all good you know.

I'm telling you, just take a sip of our fascism you'll never go back to maple syrup.

Mmmkay... if you're that sensitive about it we also have great psychological counseling at the local bar.

Let me guess a 20 gauge double barrel shotgun ? Or a 22 long rifle. Come down to Texas I'll take you to the gun range and try out my 30 clip per second ghost guns. I insist trying out my anti tank barette 50 cal. I just finished building this little beauty.

I love my guns. I love my freedom. I love my individual liberty you all seem to lack. Keep polling your self. I'm sure its probably ran by the same people who thought hillary was going to win.

Thanks for proving my point.

Yassss. Don't fight it canada, to get to the bottom of the cliff you have to get to the top first! Let big bro bring you along for the ride.

To clarify i was referring to the anti american sentiment internationally. Unfortunately there is a disconnect between patriotism and liberalism stemimg from the vietnam war. The younger generation is moving past that but the cracks are still visible.

Your slow path to unilateral free trade is costing us money, let big brother help push you .

Look at you go, feebly justifying your reason to not be in living in the greatest country . This level of angst can't be healthy for you.

He has demagogue like tendency but because you were not raised here you have no idea why or where it stems from. I live in the south, I see the imperfection but I also see a universal goodness in everyone even the trump supporter you seem to hate. Things are getting better not worse contrary to what you all wish.

Ooooh man, look at that passive aggressiveness. You have NO idea how amusing it is. Don't worry we will make america great again and you are coming along with us like it or not.

Thanks for the article I just finished reading it. It was disheartening to read about 9/11 and how "it was common to hear some Canadians voice the opinion that Americans had finally gotten what they deserved" . The smugness does not really phase me but the fact that there are those who wish us harm is frankly "insulting and unacceptable" - Trudeau on Tarrifs (giggles) . On my travels to Canada, I have found more similarities than differences. Admittedly I was enamor and still is by their open society and lack of security concerns because they have lower violent crimes rate. I (most Americans) generally think of Canada as satellite state, sort of like Alaska. This is really what we think of you Canada. To put it into perspective the entire population of Canada is roughly equivalent to my home state of Texas give a or take a couple of millions. My city alone has more than 8 million people living in it. So I always thought of Canada as a sparsely populated state with a few small cities. Hence the view of another state. I have to say though, I find the level of their passive aggressiveness towards america hilarious.

I'm not really here to quibble with you. I'm trying to bring peace and reconciliation between Americans patriots who love their country and you die hard anti-trump/american not sure if you're just anti-trump or anti american or both. Because this is the type of problem our diplomats deal with when we go into places like Iran and north korea (death to america etc...)
