How Canada being left wing Socialist would annoy Trump.

[blackbird]

Canada, under the Liberal left/NDP, is more Socialist, progressive, woke, authoritarian and Marxist.

That would bother Trump, but I don't think it would keep him up at night.

The border has been wide open under Trudeau all along.

Liberal, NDP are very soft on crime.  Catch and release the norm and light sentences for murder are often common.  Early parole is common.  Parole of serious offenders has resulted in more victims and killings by murderers.  People are sentenced according to their racial background.  FNs get lighter or no jail time.

We have carbon taxes which lower the standard of living of all Canadians.  The rebates don't make up for it and are paid on a scale according to income.  They don't fully rebate the people who paid lots of carbon taxes and people are not rebated according to what they paid in carbon taxes.  It is a tax grab.

We have higher taxes in Canada to pay for all the programs including giving away billions of dollars to the rest of the world.  About one third the price of gas in B.C. is taxes.  We have the highest gas prices in north America.  Auto insurance is also very high.

Our public health care system is a disaster and millions in Canada do not have a family doctor.  Waiting times in emergency rooms are outrageous.  Thousands of people die on waiting lists.  So much for Socialized medicine in Canada.

Canada has ignored its military and NATO responsibilities for decades, which is also a left wing, pacifist scheme.  Canada has practically no military in the Arctic to protect it from Russia or China.

We shouldn't forget Trudeau and LIberal/NDP repeated babble about the war on climate change either.  This is costing Canadians a lot in a weakened energy industry and higher costs for everything.

Canada's resource industry is heavily regulated which discourages investment and jobs and pushes the price of everything up.

New pipelines are banned in Canada.  Selling natural gas to Europe and much of the world is prohibited under Trudeau.

It takes ten or fifteen years for a mining project to get approved.

Canada gave FNs billions of dollars and control over much of resource developement which is like shooting one's self in the foot.

It is hard to build homes in Canada's cities with all the regulations, extra fees and red tape.  Another Socialist/Marxist folly.

So would having this kind of country next door to the U.S.A. annoy Trump?  Probably.

Let me see. The Trump Musk show  are irritated by Canada because it is more authoritarian. Too funny.

I am not sure why people post this garbage. Trump is eyeing the arctic, so he can lay claim to the Northwest passage. It has absolutely nothing to do with border security or fentanyl. It certainly would not matter which political party Canada elected.

And @blackbird, can you please stop labelling any of our mainstream political parties "authoritarian" or "Marxist." It makes you look like a clown.
