I kinda feel sorry for Americans to be honest, no matter what side of the boarder you sit on it's the fact that the tarriffs and taxes are going to hit poor and impoverished people and the working class people the most adding an unnecessary burden with increased cost of living.
The farmer invited someone in he thought was his friend, hoping it would improve his livelihood. Instead, the friend bound him up. Meanwhile, the fox got into the chicken coop, and the gun was nowhere to be found.

Well here is what I noticed, Trump is using the same America First to rally a divided country the same way Hitler Rallied Germany
Trump has total disregard for Law and order like Hitler had total disregard for law and order.
Trumps Disregard for human rights like Hitlers disregard for human rights
Hitler threw his enemies into prisons and camps based on political and racial motivation, trump is deporting, imprisoning and throwing people into prison based on racial and political motivation with out trials or evidence based convictions that crimes have actually been commited.
Oh and how Hitler went around annexing countries against their will just like Trump wants to do with Greenland and Canada.
Yep, another good reason for Canada to become the 51st state
I dont want them. There are enough brain washed liberals in the country the way it is.

53 percent of Canadian identify as Christians
The denominations are
  • Roman Catholicism: This is the largest denomination, with nearly 30% of Canadians identifying as Catholic. Its prominence is largely due to historical French and Irish influences.
  • United Church of Canada: Known for its liberal theological stance, this is the largest Protestant denomination in Canada. It was formed in 1925 through a union of Congregationalist, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches.
  • Anglican Church of Canada: Historically significant, especially in provinces with British heritage like Ontario and the Atlantic provinces.
  • Baptist Churches: Includes Canadian Baptist Ministries and smaller independent Baptist churches.

Liberal Christian is an oxymoron. The party of trans, abortion and gay marriage are three things off the top of my head.

In spite of the percentage of rude drivers with Canadian license plates on the highway, I love Canadians...... except for PM Trudy.

Those on here can have duel citizenship as far as I'm concerned. I'll just write an executive order for them. 🤴

For the rest of the country, I don't see it changing for the better since the British crown is over their affairs, including Klaus Swab. I read where they are being appointed another globalist who is worse than the last dictator.

Thanks for posting the religious demographics. I was curious about that.

This is literally just a long stream of reductionist straw man arguments... and that's why no one is even bothering to rebut them.


But here is one quick thought, for readers who are bored.
: )

"Trump is using the same America First to rally a divided country..."
Rallying a nation together with national pride and unity has been common throughout all of human history.
It's only anathema to revolutionaries and globalists with a post-national philosophy... people who are so opposed to the "idea" of a healthy national identity that they're devoted to the suicide and destruction of their own country. If you have an overwhelming suicidal tendency to deconstruct your own country, Canada, that's up to you... go ahead and destroy your own nation. But you aren't welcome to destroy ours.

Truth be known, I have seen the media showing canadians rallying around national pride since Trump took office and at the end of the day, if you don't have national pride in your heart, it's just propaganda on the internet. Truth is, I personally fell very little national pride since I spent last 40 years living in a country where no one wants me.

Tell me this, if Trump is so great, why is he trying to destroy the department of education instead of trying to fix it?

Many of our teachers are liberal and trump getting rid of their liberal policies is great. it's just that most american are scared he going to take it one step further and dismiss people that don't align with him. One of the first things Hitler did was dismiss the intellectuals (professors,lawyers,judges,) many had to flee from the regime. Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service

Who said he is? He's giving parents a choice of where their kids go to school. He's getting rid of bureaucrats who are pushing DEI, boys in girls bathrooms, trans kids and heaven knows what next.

Trump wants to put tariffs on Lumber, Automobiles, Steel and Aluminum, and oil and gas. All the stuff we sell to the United States which means Americans pay more for Canadian goods and killing thousands of jobs in Canada, So Canada is retaliating with Tarrifs on US goods coming into Canada, when Trump threatened with Tarriffs on Energy Ford replied with a 50% tax on Energy going to the states to recover the losses.

Thus we are in a tarrif and tax war with the United States. Also Trump wants to annex Canada and make it the 51st state. despite what Canada wants or feels.
Well, if i was the PM of Canada and knowing Donald Trump and his character, i would pickup the phone and say "Hey Don, you wanna talk about our trade unbalance over a state dinner?"

I'm sure he'd love that.

"Nation states" are relatively new to human history.

In addition....

Strawman?

Oh, but the USA can destroy Canada, that is okay, rather than fix their corruption going back to the 1960's, they take it out one others with whom they have signed agreements.

Might makes right for time, but other countries may not strive with the USA much longer while they flail to protect their corrupt hegemony.

Instead of using their standing in the world post WWII for good they used for it for Imperialism.

You have a good day now you hear.

It's stunning to me that people think it's "Hitler like" to put your own country first. Germany in 1920 is nothing like America. They had been through WW1 and had been heavily punished for their part. History seems to say they had too many restrictions laid on them and this allowed Hitler to come to power. Nothing close to America today. Hitler wanted a race of super human people and he wanted to eliminate all Jews. Again, nothing similar to what is happening in America today. Hitler murdered anyone who disagreed with him or put them in jail, which is what the liberals have tried to do.

Trump has total disregard for Law and order like Hitler had total disregard for law and order.
Hitler had innocent Jews tossed into trains and put in concentration camps. He had Kristallnacht where businesses were destroyed and burned to the ground. It's not the conservatives doing that. Trump hasn't done anything like that.

Trumps Disregard for human rights like Hitlers disregard for human rights
Hitler murdered 6 million Jews, then threw in a few more people he hated in concentration camps. Babies to grandparents were gassed, or starved, or experimented on. Nothing like anything happening in America.


Hitler threw his enemies into prisons and camps based on political and racial motivation,
Hummm, I wonder who tried to do that? Lemme think....


trump is deporting, imprisoning and throwing people into prison based on racial and political motivation with out trials or evidence based convictions that crimes have actually been commited.
.
No, that's a complete lie. He's deporting those who came here illegally. Has nothing to do with race or political motivation. That's just foolishness. Biden let masses of people in, Trumps sending them back out. Obama did it, no one accused him of being like Hitler, Deporter in Chief.


Oh and how Hitler went around annexing countries against their will just like Trump wants to do with Greenland and Canada.
And has he done it? No. Trump doesn't want Canada. He wants Canada to stop leaning communist, pull up their boot straps and stop giving lip service to being allies. Canada had a good man in Harper, I still don't understand why they tossed him. Greenland is different, it's strategic in a potential war with China. America has troops all over the world for this reason. I don't think he wants Greenland either, he wants a deal, same as with Canada. No one is moving troops to take over Canada. lol

See that is the difference between good leadership and dictatorship, a good leader will teach, and advocate for change, a dictator will force relentlessly.
