Niagara Bill

This is not bonkers, or hook line and sinker joke....as a Canadian I consider this a declaration of war. This is Putin style. The future President of our closest friend has declared war. No other way to take this. If you heard China say the same thing about you country, you would say the same thing.

(Well, here goes.) Based on the threats by trump and his deep state buddies today I will not be attending the Bills game this weekend or the foreseeable future. My good conscience will not allow it. Sabres games are out. Salvatore's is out. Rock Pile...1967 was the first time I think. Dec 2024 my last. I am a fiscal conservative not a right wing radical. But trump threatened me today, threatened my family and friends, my country. This after signing a new trade relationship deal his last term. I worked in the auto industry, in an executive capacity for many years, prior to NAFTA the industry had a balance of production to vehicle sales. Trump sees Canada as a rich neighbour he wants to steal from. Rip my neighbours fence down, take what I want, forget law, forget history, forget friendship, forget the foxholes, forget D day. I am searching for a new vehicle, not a Ford or GM, regardless of where it is made, or any vehicle made in US. Our unemployment rate will be over 20% in 60 days, about the same time as our oil sales begin to go,to China, and fuel prices rise by 25% in US, where housing cost rise without lumber. 90 days later trump likely threatens national security interests and wants to begin takeover of raw materials industries including water from great lakes. About the same time he will exit from NATO. Not much I can do, not much US citizens can do. The world now has 3 dictators in power. The 49th parallel is not arbitrary, the line down the Niagara River is not arbitrary. We didn't want North Dakota or Minnesota or Love canal, We gave up Grand Island for Manitoulin Island. Maybe Canada needs a new best friend. Maybe NATO needs a new alliance with another superpower. It seems the one we had is no better than the rest. Isolationism works for a while. Ask Cuba. Funny his threats to Mexico disappeared. I wonder why?

No offense taken. Legally, I doubt if anyone could ever get that done. Imagine Supreme Court challenges, minority rights etc etc etc. I would say that non immigrant Canadians desire a super close, mutual relation ship to USA, could even be common currency, open border common security. Canadians on average prefer individual security vs individual freedoms...it is an exchange. That is from birth...kind of like cuisine...this is what I know I like. Example, Canadians love Florida, the climate, the sand, water, happy hours, golf, pickleball, Sam's, but dislike aggressive Floridians 2 months of 25% tariffs, causing unemployment rates at 20%, hatred will begin and war mentality will hit in Canada. The relationship will be dead. I will not have Bills tickets, Pinto Ron can go to heck, and the Leafs will win a Stanley Cup because only 7 teams will be playing. Seinfeld reruns will be banned 😁😁😁😁

Now Irv...you are just a little out of line....Cuba ok, but never Canada. The last time you tried that we burnt down the Whitehouse...Mar A Lago could be next....😉🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It is obvious that the FBI was doing Whitehouse bidding and focused on ensuring they were woke enough. A once almost independent org, ask Nixon and Clinton, became so political and far less effective and trustworthy.

Bye bye

I will say it again. With unchecked immigration, illegal migration, sanctuary cities comes the TROJAN HORSE. Immigration for US and Canada is essential, but needs to be controlled and vetted. I decide who comes to visit or live in my house. Restricting who comes to my kitchen is not discrimination. Discrimination occurs when once it is decided who can come in, that some are treated differently.

So, let's visit NOLA, Jan, 2025. Done in the name of ???.

Just like in the 51st state, left wing governments put non citizens, ahead of the safety, culture and housing of the very citizens who pay the taxes and created these wonderful countries. Every mayor, council and judge in a sanctuary city who supported the violations of the federal laws should be charged. It is not their house to open the doors and invite the Trojan horse into it. Controlled immigration is the ONLY method into our house...protecting citizens is paramount.

Islam is the only major religion that preaches death to other religions, specifically Christians and Jews. If the Pope made a speech to the masses to kill all Muslims. 1. His flock would not listen 2. Many would laugh 3. He could never find a reason in the Bible to justify such a statement 4. Christians around the world abandon him When leaders of Islam call for jihad, many respond. Jesus was peaceful Muhammad was a warrior and army leader. People in less educated societies tend to follow religious preaching to the letter.

Russia just got India as a customer for gas and oil....their pockets are not empty. Chinese money could flow into Cuba so fast... 90 miles....how can the US not politically help...you help countries around the world with far less strategic advantage.

Right, but you don't want Russia or China to bail them out. Only 90 miles.

I mean Canada, but he cannot afford to isolate Mexico. Lots of issues for sure, but cannot push Mexico away too far. Needs to get Cuba back in as well. That makes 51st state sense.

As Biden sleeps his foreign policy dies. India agrees to buy Russian oil...now it is clear. Russia, China, India have an alliance, along with some South American countries. Trumps statement on the Panama Canal are very accurate. I think his administration gets it. So, Mr Trump...if tariffs are needed, India is the target, not your friends. This is the final sign of the potential world conflict. The lines drawn are very clear. (By the way...the citizens of India in North America may be far more dangerous than migrants from central America.) These last 4 years have been the weakest, with out direction foreign policy in 100 years. Even worse than the 8 years of Obama. Can the US survive the next 30 days?

No village or burbs has the infra structure costs, sanitation, services, political, policing costs that a city has. Right on the 20 min drive, but Costco is cheaper than city stores. Quality of life starts with safety for your family. Enough said on that.

Wrong, I am completely correct...and in sanctuary cities the costs are higher. You suggest it is cheaper to building housing in Urban Chicago rather than rural Tennessee. You must be joking. Try to purchase a 1200 Sq foot condo vs a 1200 Sq ft home in burbs. The burbs don't need 1/2 the services either built or used, beginning either sewars and police and politicians. The lefties would try to justify the Ghetto buildings in urban centers, they cannot. It is failed policy. Life in small town, villages and burbs has always been cheaper and preferred providing safety was assured.

So much of Italy decided to live in urban cities on top of hills 9 centuries and more ago because they hated suburban sprawl? Were the walls designed to keep people in. That America lived in forts in 1492 and after because suburbs were frowned on? Seriously...other items other than what you call efficiency had an affect in America First was the feel of freedom and space. Food availability, growing produce, Maybe most important was safety once the fear of attacks from native groups. Later it became safety to get away from urban trouble, air pollution, to be close to people of like minds. Building a home in suburbs was cheaper than high-rise costs to be able to live like Ralph and Alice Cramden. Nothing is less efficient than the police costs, sanitation costs, infra structure costs, political costs, transport costs, health costs, education costs, building costs than urban living. Never needed a subway tunnel in the burbs.

She is wrong. Even space aliens would never choose Jersey.

Look, if these were locally controlled the people would come forward. If it was government we would know and they would have stopped It must be 1. Imagination 2. Local techies screwing with us 3. Foreign power mapping the area I only wish Rhino was here...he would have the scoop.

Sometimes the D carries you, sometime it is the O

Just served my 9 day suspension for a joke on the main page...gave time for Xmas shopping,

Why can't the flow of labor that you mention be legal immigration, rather than illegal migration.

Ok

No, he was vetted. It was controlled. Like I said all nazi were German. How do you tell them apart. Scrutiny. Not mass migration. Not hateful Islamic fundamentalists. Keep the numbers manageable. You must admit there is extreme risk and we have no reason to accept any risk. There is nobody presently in any Islamic country that has value to the west. Some, like your friend can become valued, but that risk is very low. Remember, it is the only religion that preaches death to others.

You are not easily absorbing migrants. Visit some large cities. You cannot afford this absorption. You have drug issues and homeless issues that need the attention. Controlled immigration is wise. Uncontrolled migration is wrong. Fir goodness sake You will not allow an apple to cross your border brought in by one of your citizens, but allow uncontrolled flow of migrants. the world is experiencing migration like never before. It is dangerous, unnecessary from our seats. Don't bury your head, it will be too late. Our civilization is built on control, not this.
