I have to agree that we need to talk about many things, as the previous set up was very good for both nations. Also, you have a good point... Canada might be able to survive without the US, but our standard of living wouldn't be the same. With time, we'll work out our differences, hopefully in spite of the "bloviator" (is that a word?)

You admit you don't know. That's good enough for me. I shifted nothing, as I merely made it irrevocably clear that the thread was not including salient information, that being Canada has finalized a deal for over the horizon air defence with the Aussies.. The premise of many people on this forum seems to be that America has the right to decide Canadian defence policy...untrue, as the Canadian government does that. Frankly, we are sick of all the bullying and arrogance coming from Trump, and we'll do just fine without the US.

Got any evidence to back up that obviously made up claim? It is true that Carney is willing to (humour Trump) discuss it but we NEVER asked to be part of it. Why would we if we've already invested in a decent and workable alternative?

After reading through five pages of commentary, I realized that nobody had mentioned that Canada had recently purchased a 6 billion dollar air defence system from Australia. Here are the receipts: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/19/canada-australia-arctic-radar-defence-system So, all this talk about a "Golden Dome" is utter nonsense, as Canada will have no need for it, thanks very much. Oh, one more thing. The Yanks cannot build the Golden Dome without the assistance of Canada, and considering how they've been treating us of late, they can go and F themselves. Sorry!! By the way, if anyone disagrees that the US needs Canada's assistance in building their 'Dome', I suggest you have a look at this: https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/23/trump-canada-golden-dome-00366410

When it's your turn, I wonder what you'd think if someone made such a comment about you? If you have nothing positive to say, SAY NOTHING!

Read the comment again....it says "the people who elected Trump", not the entire population. Geez....what is unfair about that?

Whoever said the people who elected Trump WERE NOT dull headed sheep? Apparently, they prefer fascism over democracy, lies over truth, stupidity over intelligence and cultish beliefs over critical thinking. Sure sounds like a bunch of dull headed sheep to me!

Wonderful place and wonderful family running it. Highly recommended - we've been there a half dozen times.

This has become "hair splitting" when, in "reality world", its blatantly obvious that this man is completely innocent, and should be offered significant compensation upon his safe return to his wife and family. Any other interpretation, based on what is currently known to be true, is evil and insane.

Let Trump have Canada? WTF? It is NOT HIS to take, and NEVER WILL BE. What the f%$& is wrong with your brain?

Excellent news....sends a clear shot across the bow against people who support money politics, for Musk failed in his mission to buy votes. Now, onwards and upwards, and bye bye Elon hopefully soon.

I think you are making a mistake writing down things that don't make any sense. Wiping Gaza and Iran off the face of the Earth? Are you insane? Have you ever been to Gaza or Iran? I have, and If you went, you would quickly realize that 99% of the people are perfectly normal, not to mention totally innocent. Consider the US....generally speaking, people are not at all concerned about average US citizens, but many, including myself, are concerned about the people who have leadership roles, as they have proven themselves to be clueless within only a couple of months of being in power. Secondly, denying due process to "so called" illegals is both legally and morally nonsensical. Everyone agrees that criminal aliens should be forced to leave, but even they deserve due process, for it is a LAW in the USA. Stop drinking the Trump Koolaid and come back to your senses!

As prices rise and 99% of the MAGA faithful start to realize that they have been duped into a bizarre cult, it will be hard for them to admit their miscalculations. But, as their 401k's tank, their social security payments don't arrive and their jobs disappear, they will finally understand what has happened. Its hard to imagine what will happen then, but it won't be pretty.

What a remarkable statement. Why do Yanks always seem to think that "might makes right"...? Lets see what you have to say when we turn off the power to about six million US households. Maybe you'll begin to realize a few things then...

Wrong. Canada is a proud, vibrant and sovereign country that will continue being strong and free. Where do some of you Yanks get your unwarranted arrogance from? Your country has been falling behind other developed countries for years and years. Look at your rankings in education, health care, infrastructure, etc....all falling apart. Nonetheless. you reserve the right to dictate to other countries that have no desire to emulate you in any shape or manner. Elbows up! Oh, and if you disagree, hit the link here and listen to what an American has to say about your country. It might offer you some insight that is clearly missing, likely due to a bad case of the Dunning Kruger effect.
