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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.
