Trump and Canada

Politics is boring in Canada. It's always the same old same old...

 

OK...but surely there were domestic news stories of more significance to Canadians than a foreign election/candidate.   Even accounting for the obvious CBC reporting bias for Clinton (strange in itself), why would Trump garner so much more attention ?  Or more importantly, why give him so much media influence in Canada ?

Americans already had fascism when Obama and Hillary were in charge. Thank gawd they are no more. America and the world needs a break from people like those two.

Fascism can be just as much a left wing thing as a right wing thing. Why do you say that only right wingers can be fascist?

As to why Trump garnered so much attention with the liberal CBC during the election and town rallies is beyond me. I guess the liberal CBC must have thought that they could somehow influence the outcome of the election. They were able to influence the Canadian electorate into believing that Trudeau would be better for Canada as PM rather than with Harper. Judging from speaking with family and friends and other people along the way they all wanted Hillary to win. No doubt because of the liberal CBC who could never find anything good to say about Trump. Hillary was their darling. The liberal CBC hates true conservatism. A Trump type person would never make it in Canada if the liberal CBC has their way. They would crucify them. The liberal CBC should never be allowed to show any kind of bias but they dam well do. Harper had the chance to get rid of the liberal CBC but for some u/k reason he did not. Canadian conservative minded people will never get a fair shake from the liberal elite establishment of the CBC. All they will get is hatred and intolerance from the CBC. The media (CTV/CBC/Global)party will always work together to try and keep the Conservative Party from ever becoming a majority government again. Sad indeed.

Your manifesto is amusing. Harper lost because of Harper's actions as well his lack of respect for human rights,. Nothing to do with the CBC. As far as the American elections , you were simply played wonderfully by the Russians and you had the benefit of an uneducated citizenry,

Will Canada sever all diplomatic ties with the United States once Trump is inaugurated ? 

 

Quote

He says a third of Canadians would want the feds to cut diplomatic ties with the US if Donald Trump wins the election. “For one-third of us to say that we would be willing to sever diplomatic ties with our closest ally and partner, certainly speaks about the fear that many Canadians have about Trump becoming the next Head of State.”

As long as you guys promise not to move en masse to Nova Scotia.  I'm banking on a nice quiet (cheap) retirement spot still being there in a few years.

Other than left/right spectrum being totally irrelevant in modern politics, fascism does exhibit a lot of the same characteristics of those who describe themselves as being right wing. Fascism is hostile to liberal democracy, it embraces many other right wing positions, such as xenophobia, ethnocentrism, social conservatism, totalitarianism, sexism/chauvanism, and extremely conservative sexual mores.

Still running away from it eh?

Nope. So where is your proof that the Russians are doing anything, eh? You cannot find any, right? I think that you listen too much to the fake stream phony liberal media, and most likely is where you are getting your nonsense beliefs from. Anybody who will believe anything the lying media says, well what more can be said. They have become zombies to a brainwashed globalist elite bunch of liars.

I can believe you are a Fox news fan, speaking of nonsense media. I tend to trust the FBI and the CIA a little bit more than them.

Harper had a majority and could have just about reversed everything that the lying liberals had been foisting on conservative Canadians for decades. For starters Harper should have done the taxpayer a service by abolishing the GST. Then dump multiculturalism and political correctness. But he did not because I believe that all political party's in Canada must adhere to a liberal minded ideology. It's the law.  

Harper blew it. Harper use to be for more freedom, and less government, and less taxes, But apparently, he wanted to carry on whatever the liberals implemented. When it all boils down, there is no real conservative party in Canada, just a bunch of liberal ones with a socialist one thrown in for fun.

You must be referring to the uneducated ones who get their news from the phony and fake lying liberal media. You know, the ones that believe that the Russians are hacking everything in America. I get my news from the alternative media which tells me that there is no proof brought forward on this Russian hacking. Just a bunch of lies being promoted by the loser democrats. A sad bunch of losers.
