"I’ll bet you he can’t name more than three Provinces." You give the man too much credit here, Clancy. Just know that your pain is exceeded ten times by our own -- our pain, our shame, our total incredulity. It is a nightmare. I cannot imagine you losing even one subscriber, my friend. You are only telling the truth.

Oh Sharron! When the Magas give voice to their opinions, or is it their rights, you walk away shaking your head, reminding yourself that they actually produce offspring…

The ignorant and the greedy - both are so easily deluded. That's all I am saying.

Omgoodness. You too?

Change the channel. Aren’t you tired of complaining. Do something positive.

Help fix something instead of sitting on your most likely fat asses and judging everything.

What good is that?

Do something about it

The level of stupidity dripping off the media down here is appalling. The thing is, people will only realize it when they get hit in the wallet. I have a feeling it won't be long.

Canada is awesome! 50% of the U.S. is awesome. Trump and his 50% are terrible.

What a bunch of whiners.

What is terrible?

Tell me one thing that wasn’t on the fake news.

Trump has the biggest heart and he’s working his ass off like none of you could

Dude you gotta keep up with the times. Donald trump isn’t a felon. He’s our commander in chief. Probably the most powerful and popular man in the world.

Get with it. Everyone is so tired of all this trump hatred

Enough is enough.

You gotta keep that part right.

Adam shift made up all that shit. That whole impeachment process was all a total waste of government time and money and you fell right into it hook line and sinker.

Who’s the dumbass?

So you are more than welcome to come over to the cool side.

We don’t hate you.

Just start using your (2) ears and your (1) mouth accordingly. And if you close your mouth and open your ears you might learn that he’s out for the good of our country.

The great US of A.

Not the β€œonce great”

If you think it’s not great it’s because your side fucked it up. So stop being a problem and become part of a solution please

And thanks

Not that I want to get into an argument with a proven dumbass such as yourself, but do really agree that USA annexing Canada would be good for either country? IF, it were to happen, and Canada became a state, the GOP would be toast because Canada would vote Democrat and you sad sacks would never win another election again. The world does NOT revolve around the US of A. Canada, in spite of what that dumbass Felon and people such as yourself thinks, is not a country that will roll over and give up without a fight. So the solution, fucktard, is to NOT threaten your allies and stay in your own lane. Why don't you see, that as Canadians, we didn't start this shit. He did. He has made himself a laughingstock on the world stage. He is the biggest threat for WW3 than any other man on the planet, but you don't seem to care about that, do you? Do you think he's the only president who ran under the slogan of Making America Great Again? As a "Christian" how do you accept a man so morally bankrupt as the shining example of what's good for America? You are dismissed, brother. There is no need to discuss the future of MY Canada, with someone like yourself.

Hi Ben, I really enjoyed reading this article of yours-you are so clear and right in what you have written as far as I am concerned. And if the Trumpster thinks that Putin and Musk are his friends, boy, does he ever have a nasty surprise coming to him!!! Carry on sweetheart!!!!! Heather
