Both...the U.S. can do more than one thing at a time.    Canada is begging for a cross border pipeline too.

OK folks, get your wallets out.

Americans are still choking and dying from Nanticoke.

Nanticoke is where American terrorists invaded Canada, serves you right.

b.t.w. Emissions from Nanticoke were cut in half in 2009, and then to just 15% in 2011, and finally shut down completely in 2013. The US still gets 33% of its power from coal, many orders of magnitude more pollution than Nanticoke ever put out.

Didn't Brazeau and various Conservative types underestimate Trudeau already?   Both JT and Trump achieved power while being dismissed and mocked; kind of interesting isn't it?

D its Michael H's fault,. He said no talking about God. On a more serious note, both were  underestimated yes. Very true. 

Now we have a study in opposites. Trudeau wants everyone to like him and approve. Trump wants everyone to hate him and disapprove. Trudeau wants to be loved, Trump hated. Never have I seen such polar opposites in personality.

Because California and Texas are a larger auto market than all of Canada.   California's CARB has actually set the pace for emissions standards and mileage efficiency.  Many tech firms that contribute to automotive engineering can be found in California.  Texas is the leading source for automotive fuels and refining of other transportation distillates. Both states are major ports of entry for raw materials and finished goods from overseas trading partners.

Canada is a leader in none of these things, and is very dependent on foreign capital investment.

Trump is right....U.S. first !   Canada can do whatever the hell it wants, maybe build a pipeline or refinery...it wouldn't kill 'ya.

One of the tenants of Fascism is ultra nationalism. The last time there was an "America First" movement was when the conservatives objected to going to war against Hitler. While Canadians were fighting Hitler for 2 years before America joined, Bush's granddaddy was financing Hitler. Your "America First" has such a fine tradition.

I love nationalism....many Canadians refused to fight in their British Empire's wars...especially in Quebec.   God Save The Queen !   The U.S. didn't start your world wars, but it sure as hell finished them for you.

I hope Trump continues to push hard on "America First", and I don't give a damn how much Canada and Mexico whine about it.

If he'd been smarter he would have said what he meant by that.  Or did he?

He wrote a letter to FDR...build The Bomb.

Trump understands this well and will Make America Great Again !    Canada will get a small cut of the bounty, as usual.

I'll stick with the  smarter guy. That's right Einstein knew most American's weren't nationalists then. Just ones that believed waving a flag meant you were a patriot. Like donald trump. You know a very brave soldier?

•Remember the days when the republicans claimed to be brave patriots who support real brave soldiers?. 

How times have changed huh?

“I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world,” Trump told Stern of avoiding STDs. “It is a dangerous world out there. It’s scary, like Vietnam. Sort of like the Vietnam era. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave soldier.”

Yeah, then when he was safe, he said he regretted it, if memory serves.  Seems a bit self serving.

That's why many "smart" Canadians go to the USA for far greater opportunities.  "Brain drain" in Canada speak.   More will do so with Trump as president.

More Canadians have always gone to the USA than Americans going to Canada....ditto emigres from around the world.

Nationalism has many definitions.  It helps to know A. E. was talking about the Nazis, and not Iceland.

Well exactly.  I'm an advocate of political independence for any country, and as an Englishman and a Canadian. I support wholeheartedly many principles my country stands for and many of the efforts they make to help turn the world into a better place.

I also admit to a bit of a patriotic feeling every time the World Cup comes around.  (Don't get your hopes up Canada, there's only one football team)

Apparently the  smart ones stayed confirmed by the  educational rankings of both countries. Yours is not doing so well.

Trump is smart enough not to waste blood and treasure on the residue of Canada's failed empire around the world.

Trump can rest easy....America has far more patents and Nobels than Canada.   Far more top rated universities as well.  This will be good for the Trump economy.

The red states file far less patents for innovations and inventions than blue states do. You're not a part of the  intelligent class in your country. You demonstrate it every day. You are the reason   your country doesn't make the top 10 for an educated citizenry.

He was smart enough to beat Clinton wannabe's in Canada and the U.S.

He will toy with Canada's substitute drama teacher PM on trade.
