We are inching ever closer to either becoming a complete authoritarian shit hole or splitting into two or more separate countries. I am thinking splitting will be better. Let the idiots have their red states. Of course, provisions will be made for those who wish to relocate out of the shit states.

Trump is jealous of Canada. He was insanely envious of Trudeau is first term, that's why he had retribution on his mind day one this time. Carney outshines him everywhere, his fragile ego can't accept our relative popularity. Trade, economy, held hostage to a jealous man child. #cdnpoli #uspoli
