I have to go shopping today. Should I get beer, pizza, and cake for the going away party?

So when are you moving to the States?

I did the move for several reasons. A better job, a better life, better weather and more freedom. Soon, I will have lived in the US as long as I had in Canada. 

I think I would find the firearms restrictions and rules in Canada difficult to comply with after living in the US for nearly 30 years. 

My Father retired after 33 years of service. Now I lived in Virginia with my Mother and Grandparents. I was a farm boy till I was 17.

Next I went in to the Army. I service in Germany, ROK, and the crap in the Balkans.

Once I left the Army and moved family to Connecticut for sixteen years. 

Once my Father passed I moved to South to North Carolina.

I have seen a bit of the world, good and bad.

I like North Carolina the best!

Good that you found "Home"!

I was a Gypsy for so long in so many places. But I wouldn't trade it for the world.

The friends I made of every possible variation of humanity!

I've discovered I like small town, Or village life!

Vervins (Picardy), but we called it "Aisne" was my favorite.

But Bozman is a close second.

 The biggest issue we face now is if trump puts the 25% tariff on everything coming from Canada. Thanx to the liberals, we won`t have the financial means to combat that. It would ruin us.

 Threats that amount to black mail if we don`t sort out or boarder issues.

 Could be a long game to economically destroy Canada then swoop in and rescue us. What better way to secure one of the largest oil and mineral supplies on planet earth.

 In the bigger picture, that`s how I see this playing out. Big brother becoming big bully then big savior.

 Be prepared for a lot of refugees headed your way, at least those who can afford it. The rest of us will remain and languish. For me it would be trying to find a place with in our boarder that`s safe-ish. Anywhere out side of Ontario as its now the a$$hole of Canada. God I hate what we`ve become.

46 years in Canada, 24 years now in Texas.  I wouldn't even contemplate moving back to Canada for all the tea in China.  Living under one Trudeau was one too many, I would have gone insane if I had to live under the spawn of Pee-Air.  

Let us hope for good things.

Pray for a peace outcome.

he has been very clear on what he expects to avoid the tariffs - nothing that would be all that difficult , protecting your boarder and not putting tariffs on us , 

i dont think you will see any 

 Protecting our boarder in such a way is going to be a logistical night mare. I saw an article where people were crossing through a farm which spans both Canadian and US territory. And there`s a lot of that kind of issues from east to west coats. Even small towns where you walk down the street to visit a friend and you`re now in the States.

We have some of the longest unprotected boarder areas in the world. Not sure how we`d accomplish that. I`d be one he!! of a long and expensive fence...

 Just do away with the boarder and be done with it, then we`d have the largest country ever, a continental country.

Please send the Royalties to me by Moose courier.

trump suggested becoming the 51st state , but he hinted at governor treado - i think we co0uld do withoiut that , 

i think there are compromises on the =boarder to be made but so far we are still getting invaded and drugs flowing , thats what he intends to stop , 

i agree 100% for both of our countries , let it be done by the incoming admins and let those that dont measure up be sent back , 

O.K., now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

When I lived in Canada I was very much in favor of Canada joining the United States but now that I'm a citizen of, and living in the U.S. I'm not so sure.  Only four of the Canadian Premiers are considered conservative and the Prime Minister of Canada is an avowed Leftist and proponent of the "Great Reset".  The last thing America needs is another state or states sending Leftists to our senate.  Further, assuming the new American state of Canada received a proportional share of the House of Representatives, which American state(s) would lose members due to the maximum number of representatives being limited to 435?  

Next, and I know this is going to chap some hides but facts are facts.  I lived in Canada for 46 years and the U.S. now for 24.  Since I have moved to the U.S. I have experienced crime twice:  once when my truck's door was 'keyed' and another time when someone stole the antenna off another truck.  Here's the grand total of crime I experienced in Canada:  two homes and one truck burgled, two assaults by street thugs, a hit and run, a truck totalled by a speeding 18 year old, another by a driver on his phone, a lit cigarette purposely dropped on the front seat of a classic car I owned, a Brittany Spaniel I trained for hunting stolen, I could go on and on.  Yes, I know some of you are chomping at the bit to point out the higher murder rate in the U.S. but if you don't live in one of the Liberal Infestation Zones you are unlikely to ever have to worry about being murdered....certainly not worry more than if you lived in Canada.  The medium sized city I live in which is 1/2 hour north of Dallas has only ever had 1 murder and that was in 2017.  We average 2 robberies per year. 

 

Now for healthcare.  I was amazed at the speediness of delivery of healthcare when I first moved to Texas and my doctor ordered an MRI.  The very same day I was contacted by the clinic to schedule my MRI and was told to come in tomorrow.  One day wait for an MRI?  Unheard of in Canada!  Virtually two years to the day ago I received my Prostate cancer diagnosis and the amazing healthcare system in the U.S. kicked into high gear.  In very short order I had my fiducials inserted, a PET scan to ensure no metastases, and 40 rounds of proton therapy combined with 4 Lupron injections.  My cost?  $1,500 which I was very happy to pay for the timeliness and extensiveness of the treatment.  My PSA is currently undetectable.  

So, in short why risk losing what we have by importing trouble from elsewhere?  We are about to get the BORDER sorted out and removing the world's detritus from our country. We already have enough of our own Lefties to deal with. 

The US is not going to annex Canada either.  This is all just political posturing with the aim to reduce the flow of illegal crossings and flow of drugs across the border. 

Clive Cussler wrote a book based on the premise "Night Probe" Canada would become part of America, back durng WW2, the treaty was signed, & ratified, creating "The United States Of Canada", but there were only 3 copies, 2 were known to have been destroyed, but the third is simply missing.

"In the midst of an international crisis, Heidi Milligan, a beautiful, brilliant American naval commander, accidentally discovers an obscure reference to the long-buried North American Treaty, a precedent-shattering secret pact between the United States and Great Britain. The President believes that the treaty offers the single shot at salvation for an energy-starved, economically devastated nation, but the only two copies plummeted into the watery depths of the Atlantic in twin disasters long ago. The original document must be found—and the one American who can do the job is Dirk Pitt.
 
But in London, a daring counterplot is being orchestrated to see that the treaty is never implemented. Brian Shaw, a master spy who has often worked hand in hand with American agents, now confronts his most challenging command. Pitt’s mission: Raise the North American Treaty. Shaw’s mission: Stop Pitt."

I would take Buster!

 Just got back from Val-Dor QC, I was told in conversation, the natives would take control of all Quebec territory if $hit hits the fan. They pretty much own most of it anyway.

 Regardless to whether JT resigns soon, he and the libtards will be gone come October 2025 and good riddance.

 Then there will be the fallout from massive fiscal restraints imposed by the new Gov`t to try and save the economic mess JT created and passed on. And on it it goes.

Ya maybe a new gov`t will cut us all a check from the liberal slush fund of over a 100 billion dollars. Its all ill gotten tax money anyway. Send it back from whence it came.

That would effectively make us all millionaires. And something like that should happen just in spite of all libtards here.

Apparently this secret fund is there for foreign give aways!!! Its maddening, give it to foreigners, not that most families here are struggling to make ends meet, and an alarming increase in scurvy in our youngins. Makes you kinda want to nuke parliment hill.

Time to cut out the welfare to others.

It happens on the right too, but there are some differences, particularly with Trump. Pretty much all the main stream media is on the left.
