Well you are the ugly American but your arguments are irrelevant. Replace “USA” with “China” in any of your comments and you’ll see what I mean Canadians are kore concerned with China than vice versa. Canadians rely more Chinese made products and tech vice versa Yet China is not a better country you couldn’t pay me enough to live in that undemocratic shithole and no American would prefer a life in China to a life in Canada. So I really don give a shit where this forum is hosted or with what kind of engine it uses, any intelligent person would know that’s irrelevant.

No, Canada is far more dependent on the U.S. economy than China's....for a very long time. Donald Trump is seen as an "existential threat" to Canada because of his trade and foreign policy, far more than China, which only exported $45 billion to Canada in 2019.

They have no opinions on China the real enemy of Canada. When asked as to why they seem to despise Trump most of them will come up with, well, Trump is always arrogant, ignorant and rude. That is the only comeback for them to try and save their foolish azz faces. As if those same buffoons have never themselves in their whole lifetime been rude, ignorant or arrogant.

What a load of made up horse shit from top to bottom ROTFL Canada isn’t burning, Trump’s America is in the middle of an existential crisis as we speak. Canadians don’t hany criticism of Trump other than his demeanour. Read practically any thread on this forum or anything any critic has ever written about Trump in the last 5 years to see what a load of crap your statement is. The alternate reality Trumpsters create for themselves is absolutely ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNN- Millions of White voters show who they are And now, bring on the Defunding. It's the future they voted for themselves. Yeah, I saw this. I almost posted it as an example of how oblivious much of the mainstream media is to the realities of life. In reality, support for Trump is probably based as much on dislike for the Democrats as anything Trump says. White people vote for the Republicans because the alternative is a Democratic party obsessed with political correctness, identity politics, and with a hierarchy of importance which puts white people at the bottom. People in middle-American are tired of being looked down on and lectured by urban elites. They're patriotic and don't buy the incessant guilt-mongering of the progressives and their liberal allies. They also resent what has been done to them, with their jobs outsourced and all the new jobs, even in factories, requiring technical abilities and education which causes them to be placed in and around the big cities. Do people like this think the opiod epidemic is because they're having so much fun there? Trump at least spoke to them. He lied through his teeth, of course, and has done nothing for them, but at least he pretended he cared about them. And that's not something they've gotten from the Democrats.

This is definitely a country-mouse town-mouse type of contest. I heard Trump has helped US blacks more than any other president, at least in recent years.
