  1. Please, Withdrawing from trade with the United States would result in Canada being a failed state overnight, exporting commodities and low grade manufactured goods to the United States is the only thing propping this "country" up. In the end, we are Americans, we're simply the United Empire Loyalists, up until 1812, there wasn't even a border between us, the people here called themselves "Americans", the only "Canadians" at the time were in Quebec, and in actual fact, even during that seminal war, trade between the Canada's and the United States not only continued completely unabated, it actually increased, the Americans in New England were actually supplying the proto-Canadians with goods to keep them in the fight, because they opposed the war and favoured friendly relations and trade with Britain, James Madison be damned. Trump is no Madison, he's more Jacksonian, bombastic perhaps, chauvinistic to be sure, but no threat to us. As to the Mueller Witch Hunt, if the Democucks try to impeach, Trump will simply become more powerful, trying to overthrow the will of the electorate in America is a big mistake, impeaching Nixon simply led to Ronald Reagan, Newt Gingrich and Clintonian Triangulation. Trying to bring Trump down by any means other than election, will cripple the Democrats for generations to come.
  2. Conservative as I may be, it's rather pointless to scold the Canadian government for spending, spending, spending, as that is what Canadians demand. Canadians entitle themselves to their entitlements, and any politician who doesn't go along with it is rather promptly kicked to the curb. The Liberals simply embrace this as a reality and are thus the Natural Ruling Party while the Conservatives have spent most of the last 150 years complaining about it from the sidelines. Canadians like to talk a big game about fiscal discipline, but when it comes time to actually cut their pork, they go for a shit and declare the sky to be falling, politicians adjust accordingly. On the bright side, Canadian Confederation is actually a fools errand, best to be rid of it as soon as possible, and the best and in fact only way to get there, would be insolvency. Can't argue about equalization payments when there's no money in the vault at all, thus, bring it on, a Fake Country is no country at all, God save the Queen, death to Confederation.
  3. Aside from the fact that he's Zoolander; a vacuous Himbo who annoyingly acts as if he's the smartest guy in the room, it's basically a cost of living issue. Climate Barbie taxes will drive the price of everything up, fuel, gas, electricity, food, etc, so if you like driving or air conditioning or eating well, what have you, need to try to constrain the Canadian Nanny Police State as much as you can. Mind you, entirely likely that the Phony Cons would be forced to start rummaging around for revenue as well, considering that the deficits are what they are and the Phony Cons talk a big game about cutting spending, until they are in government that is, and don't actually have the political capital to follow through in the face of the hysterical screeching which inevitably results, so, at best, it would be the lesser of two evils at the margins. Zoolander legalized the weed, Mission Accomplished, he's expendable now; next clown, stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door.
