Form one super nation out of Canada, United States, and Mexico....

CUM will be the most powerful nation on Earth

- NewYorkNuck



The US and Canada need to pull out of everything European, there's a sinister globalist group over there trying to undermine our societies over here. We need to form our own NA Health Organization, our own Climate agenda, our own National Defense force and strategy, etc.

Milei just went over there to Davos and spit in their faces with his speech at the WEF.

It's just bad technology, it's not like I don't know how to spell or structure a sentence properly.

Within the next decade Canada will cease to exist, it will become three or four nations. Unless it becomes part of the United States to form a super nation.

Even at the risk of a negative impact personally I'm okay with distancing from the US.

Just read this from Chief Market Strategist James E. Thorne.


Canada is heading towards a “balance sheet” recession, reminiscent of Japan’s 1990s experience and China’s current situation. This economic phenomenon is characterized by widespread deleveraging and reduced spending, potentially impacting Canada’s growth prospects significantly.

Economic Warning Signs

•Sluggish growth (1% annually over the past two years)
•High household debt levels
•Strained real estate market

Potential Impacts

Prolonged Stagnation: GDP growth may remain subdued as businesses and households focus on repairing their balance sheets rather than expanding or consuming.

Ineffective Monetary Policy:

Traditional tools like lowering interest rates may become less effective in stimulating the economy, as economic agents prioritize debt reduction over new loans.

Deflationary Pressures: Decreased spending and continued deleveraging could lead to deflationary pressures similar to those experienced by Japan during its “lost decades”.

Long-term Implications

•Extended period of economic adjustment
•Years-long deleveraging process across various sectors
•Potential reshaping of Canada’s economic landscape and growth prospects

Canada is in a “balance sheet” recession. It’s a shame folk don’t learn from history.

They thought Trump was going to prison and now he's their President...



Can't make 'er up dude.

So good to see him pull out of the Paris Climate accords and the WHO hopefully Poilievre does the same.

It's going to take four years just to get through all of the law suits. Judge already blocked his birthright order. Now he has to appeal. It's going to be an uphill battle.

“🇨🇦 Canadians Spend More on Taxes Than Food, Shelter, and Clothing Combined

Since 1961, taxes have increased by 2,705%, with the average Canadian now working 5 months out of the year to fund the government.

Is Canada a tax farm?”

This is not sustainable for Canadians.

They knew they were gonna get pushback on this, it’s not unexpected, but I agree with the precedence that if you’re in the country illegally you shouldn’t be allowed to have an anchor baby so you can stay.

If you’re a British or Mexican citizen couple legally in Sweden, for instance, and you have a child, that child is not a Swedish citizen at birth. There are no European countries that strictly allow citizenship by birth alone.

Yes I agree, but in regards to the US, it's in their fucking constitution.

So, MAGA idiots love to quote the constitution when it benefits their stupid arguments, but don't agree with it when it doesn't fit their racist, hillbilly narrative.

Go figure.

I don’t care, it has no bearing on me. But two things. 1) Although it’s rare, the U.S. constitution has been amended 27 times. 1992 being the last time. 2) The 14th amendment was passed by the Senate on June 8, 1866, and ratified two years later, on July 9, 1868. Some 157 years ago, maybe it needs to be changed to reflect modern times.

You’re so hateful when it comes to anything Trump, typical emotional Liberal, maybe changing this actually makes sense. Maybe?

Yes. Like maybe they need to change some amendments like the second amendment and bring them up to today’s standard and not something that was written 230 years ago.

The whole constitution needs that. How Americans grip onto this document written 200+ years ago like the founding fathers knew what life was going to be like in perpetuum. If you send a washing machine back in time they it would blow their (frank)ing minds.

I don't disagree, that parts of the document could use modernization, but I'm talking about this single issue. Birthright citizenship. Maybe it needs to be changed.
