HA! That's a good one. Let me put on my canada hat on for once. What if the democrats fail again and again in 2018, 2020, 2022, 2024 how would that make you "feel" . What would you do? Wait america out?

As we've been telling you before, Canada has no real leverage over US interest when it comes to trade. It would have been a wiser decision to negotiate like mexico before the midterms. Afterwards you won't find as much of an incentive for Trump to negotiate as he would no longer need voter approval on trade. Look at the stock market reaction after the preliminary deal with mexico was announced. The majority of Americans who are tied up in wal-street want to see a quick resolution to these trade dispute. This was the main impetus of why trump wanted to conclude trade negotiation BEFORE the midterms. Should have taken the free-trade deal during the G7, Canada will have but two choice after the midterms, to sit out of NAFTA and see the collapse of the Canadian economy or wait until a new administration to come into power and negotiate for the scraps at the NAFTA table. Either way, its going to be painful for everyday Canadians. Should have done away with supply management long ago Canada...

it started years ago with the creation of NAFTA. Trade is the first step towards globalization or did you forget. No two countries are more compatible for modern day annexation. You're already 90 percent there and you don't even realized it. You nay sayers are like the last of the Mohicans. Don't worry those Tim Horton will be Starbucks soon enough. MUAHAHAHAHAHA. There is even strong evidence to suggest that young Canadians are more likely to promote said merger, you old goats are just getting in the way... "In 2012, nearly 3 percent of Canadian born citizens (801,000) resided in the United States. An additional 30,000–40,000 work in the U.S. under the NAFTA professional visa, which allows people from Canada and Mexico to work in the U.S. without the type of visa required in other countries. In fact, the “Canadian Brain Drain” is a well-documented phenomenon in which young Canadian professionals leave Canada to seek work in the U.S., most commonly in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York. A small study out of Waterloo University in Canada discovered that 40 percent of technology students left Canada to seek work in the United States. With so much intermingling, a unification of the two countries would hardly be revolutionary." https://pensivepost.com/should-the-u-s-and-canada-merge-6444ed796e08

Who said we were asking. There's 30 million Canadians ... how many Americans can Canada stop? Didn't Canada voted for an open border?

Okay fair point, if everything is un regulated then yes demand elasticity would come into effect. But we both know the socialist would never stand for that...

Fact of the matter is this, Canada has been left out to dry in the sun. The fact that they keep insisting on NAFTA as a three way deal shows the level of desperation. We're not the one desparate to trade with Canadians.

Its only a matter of time before Canada gets annex and America would have full filled its manifest destiny. Just wait until climate change hit. I'm already contemplating buying land up north , get a green card then citizenship then vote for annexation...

I'm pro economic nationalist for countries who don't play by the rules. As for Canada though, It should be absorbed and globalized by manifest destiny. Canada should not remain a separate foreign entity when it comes to trade. There should be complete open borders with the US.

Commie homo sympathizer! Actually the right and left suffer from globalist tendency. Just as socialism is not exclusively left. Far right wing fascist groups are socialist.

Yes I've said this already, globalist are both left and right.

Yes and ?

no he's a globalist

This issue is pretty clear cut for a soldier and other service members I've talked to. I don't know why it is so difficult to understand, the conflict in ideologies of the west and fundamental Islam. They are WILLING TO DIE for their belief. There is no point in reasoning with someone when they've made it their decision to blow themselves up for their cause.

Actually impeachment was meant to be broadly used, even for political reason. It serves as a referendum on sitting president who do not control house and senate popularity. Will it be used successfully? That is a different matter but as far as the law is concern it is completely up to congress to impeach. The following is from a report written and released by the Judiciary Committee in 1974 in the aftermath of the Watergate crisis. "Section 4 of Article Two of the United States Constitution: "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.""High Crimes and Misdemeanors" has traditionally been considered a "term of art," like such other constitutional phrases as "levying war" and "due process." The Supreme Court has held that such phrases must be construed, not according to modern usage, but according to what the farmers meant when they adopted them." Benjamin Franklin asserted that the power of impeachment and removal was necessary for those times when the Executive "rendered himself obnoxious," and the Constitution should provide for the "regular punishment of the Executive when his conduct should deserve it, and for his honorable acquittal when he should be unjustly accused." James Madison said, "...impeachment... was indispensable" to defend the community against "the incapacity, negligence or perfidy of the chief Magistrate." With a single executive, Madison argued, unlike a legislature whose collective nature provided security, "loss of capacity or corruption was more within the compass of probable events, and either of them might be fatal to the Republic."[6] Alexander Hamilton said, "...those offences which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust. They are of a nature which may with peculiar propriety be denominated political, as they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself."[7] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_crimes_and_misdemeanors https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/stories/watergatedoc_3.htm?noredirect=on

Meh not much to worry about. Fringe group are fringe group. Most people are not that extreme. I much prefer to hurt people's ideas through words in a civil society than to physically go out and attack a hilary supporter. There is a valid point to be had however that right wing group could do a lot more damage then say antifa because they live in states that typically protect gun rights. People in california and new york just don't have access to the firearm available to say people here in texas. A good example of this was in houston, antifa basically wanted to remove sam houston statue a southern confederate and a bunch of right wingers showed up with guns. https://www.chron.com/houston/article/Armed-protesters-at-Hermann-Park-protest-statue-11210583.php

Uhhhh freemarket does not differentiate elective surgery or not, that's a fictional categorization by socialist to deny care through wait time. Cost went down yes but are there more doctors going into said profession to provide said care ? Because the government does not provide as much profit as opposed to the free market system so to tell me that you are able to get more expedient care under a socilized system would be a lie. I can walk into any optometrist right now to get my laser eye surgery. How long would I have to wait for this elective surgery? This is the problem with socialized healthcare, it cannot provide quality AND expediency AND cost reduction. Only freemarket can provide all three through the profit motive. I love debating socialist, their war on the profit motive is what makes them inherently evil.

1) might i remind you the purpose of the investigation is to find russian collusion. Also hush money paid to pornstar before he became president is corruption?? Campaign Finance violation maybe (that's a huge maybe) but corruption before he held public office? You're drinking too much of that fake news. Read this article on cnn it describe how similar case played out in court. If campaing finance law was violated, there is no legal difference between paying hush money to "affect an election" than actual finance violation bernie sanders and obama was fined for. Campaign finance violation is campaign violation, doesn't care what extra-marital purpose it was used for. Hilariously because of the dual use nature of trump's payment it can be legally argued that it is infact not campaign finance violation. https://www-m.cnn.com/2018/08/22/opinions/trump-critics-too-soon-to-rejoice-callan/index.html?r=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F 2) if russia was involved you'd figured it would have been the first thing to break headlines not the last....keep waiting. 3)uh this wasn't due to a lack of tries. he tried but the democrats were the one who wouldn't budge on repealing obamacare for a new proposal. Obamacare is full of problem even bernie sanders admitted as such. 4) because our other option is elitist globalist crooked hillary who pretty much is the establishment candidate of the status quo? Someone new who says naughty things but has good policy or a real crook who meant more of the same injustice....

Interesting hypothetical. Well it would depend on the reason for his removal. Say if there were strong evidence of Russian Collusion and that Trump was somehow compromised, that is very strong grounds for impeachment. I would wholeheartedly support impeachment as any american should. But if on the other hand, it is only talking to the Russian about Hilary and they tried to impeach him for that then you would essentially see a blood sport in politics following said ouster. Trump's based would get riled up alright, 2020 would be the end of any "moderate" GOP nomination. In both scenario however you are left with VP pence who will continue much of Trump's presidential policy so policy wise you won't see a huge difference. If you follow pence he's being groomed for Trump's position in case Trump was removed from office. Pence is pretty much going around the country doing some of Trump's work like speaking at conferences for ICE, North Korea remains transfer, Space force etc...

So here we are at the end of the Russian gate hunt with nothing to show for it except financial fraud by two former trump associate. It all started with Russia and now it ends with white collar crime that has nothing to do with Russia. Ya lost the 2016 election fair and square, just get over it and and move on. We didn't elect trump because he was an upstanding human being, we elected him because this garbage heap of a person was the only one standing up for middle america. You can thank the elitist liberals for the loss in 2016.

You guys should read the you tube comments of the coverage on cbc. I didn't think it was candaianly possible for you guys to get so worked up about something other than a hockey game... " She has no place in Canada??? So we’re not allowed to be worried where our taxes are going?" Jihadi Justin at it again.... Justin Trudeau has no place in Canada-He is a Traitor. Hey liberals there’s your prime minister, he’s a bully to Canadians, he caused this illegal immigrant mess and wants the provinces to foot the bill.... let’s vote him out 2019"

Yes which is why canada and many other countries got slapped with a steel and alum tariff, with the exception of australia and Brasil. We're definitely screening our border alright, the question is does canada want to screen its own border to get tariff removed....

That's intellectual dishonesty there. If you are suggesting that all socialized healthcare system is better at giving patient care than ours then you are wrong. The reason why the US system cost so much is because it is a mixture of socialized and capitalist. Its got the worse of both worlds. You will see an improvement if you move to either side. But only a capitalized system will provide both expediency and quality of care.

1 trillion over a 10 year period if everything worked as intended....which if its government involved won't be. All the while give us longer wait time with worse care? no thanks. I think free market and deregulation of health care is the way to go. Look at laser eye surgery, used to cost 20k now its only 2k. This is only possible because its completely outside of insurance scheme and deregulated allowing free-market to lower cost while improving patient care. Tell me a government ran healthcare system that can achieve both objective, I'll wait.

America chose trump because those crooked career politician you are referring to like Hilary would have been a far worse option. Trump is doing a fine job trolling the left, everyday I see head explode over the latest tweet that has nothing to do with their daily lives. Now, the left's only solution to trump is resist and obstruction. I hope they keep that mantra up in 2020 and loose again. Republicans are quickly becoming a party of results not resistance ; people are waking up to that reality,. You are seeing a shift of minority voters who were once the core of democrat's base now moving over to the GOP side. Canada should view this as a sign of what's to come in 2019. What ever happens in the US will eventually make its way to Canada. There is a building resentment of Trudeau's administration and its insistence on pandering to identity politics.

Yup this is a typical symptom of the intersectionalist snowflake left and their identity politics. Any time you disagree with their idea you are by default also attacking their identity and is liable to be labeled a racist, homophobe, sexist, bully, etc...
