    Hillary would have been far worse than Trump as President. She has a lust for killing. Probably would have gone completely mad whilst in officel. :doctor:

      I spoke to my sister tonight, that is normal :)
      We started to talk about religion and politics, not normal :frown:
      I suggested we don't discuss either of the above, perfect :dbgrtmb:
      I can still love my sister, even though I wholeheartedly disagree with her opinions :snorky:

        not going to explain Killary, and her husband both corrupt and mental. I am sure you all are drowned by fake media anyway.

        Yes, counties need to be run like a business. and delegate the social to others. In the short span of time Trump has been there he has done more than the wasted 8 years of that puppet. and Trump does not take a paycheck.

        Interesting, guess you all love your leaders, don't see a thread devoted to their achievements or lack there of. hummm. oh yes, we have freedom of speech here is that it?

          Lest we not forget something here.....

          @redstar you said " Americans have spoken ...... " , well that's not quite the case is it. He lost the election by some 2 million plus votes.
          It's only the USA's corrupt way of adding up votes that he got in.

            We can speak! we sometimes just choose not to ( my opinion only)
            Our countries have the ' right' too.
            Unfortunately some people still don't have that right.
            Week 18th -24th is national refugee week.
            Let's take a moment for those who are displaced, by things that have no meaning to them, have no idea of the wars going on and ultimately just want a life like you and I

              I suggest this thread be abandoned, what good can come from it?Even if we worked out our problems, we will never agree!?
              I, for one, love gardening and want to read about it :dbgrtmb:

                its not corrupt way to vote. if you can take time to understand why our forefathers did it that way you would understand. But as you are from a small country, not even large enough to cover our California and less diverse than our whole USA I doubt you would get it.

                  PLEASE SIR! May I ask a question.

                  If The governments and people of this world really do want true Peace & Security.

                  Why are they all still making and selling new weapons and seeking to dictate, dominate and kill each other by the millions?

                      No, KFF, it's a symptom of America's political situation, where the [far] right wing chant the mantra of Dollar first, me first, dollar first, and they forget America was founded in 1776 [but wasn't ratified by only 9 States until 1788, and that the North American Indians were there long before them, whereas Great Britain goes back a thousand years or more, gave a lot of countries [and America ] it's language, democracy, trade etc.:dunno:
                      When people tell you that you couldn't possibly understand and question your intelligence and experience you know they've got no ability to question their own "situation". :dunno::coffee: If you tell yourself, as a President, and the same to people, you're the best, the greatest, the only country that matters enough times you and some of the "me first" people will believe it. Boasting, narcissism, bloated egos, and complete denial of reality, declaring one policy and then denying it in the next breath seems to be, unfortunately, admired and fawned ovr by certain sections of the american population.:doh::coffee::snorky:

                          There are some things that need to be made a little more transparent.

                          Yes, Canada has this ugly supply management system for the dairy industry. A better name would be "license to price fix". It is very old and unfair to us Canucks. We can only bring $20 worth of cheese or butter back on a single trip from the US without getting hit with a giant penalty. All other grocery items and most other consumer prodcts, we have to pay sales tax-NOT customs duties.

                          In the US, the farmers recieve subsidies. Still stacking the deck but the burden is spread out evenly. The rich peoples taxes are proportionally used to pay these subsidies whereas in Canads, the penalty happens at tne till and poor people pay an equally inflated price to give their kids a glass of milk. Sad, but very true.

                          Both sets of farmers win. The people on either side lose.

                          Booze is taxed heavily too because a bottle of Canadian Club is three times the cost here and they want to collect just as much tax on any coming over the border. If you stay long enough, you can bring back a 26er, tax free.

                          Cigarettes are about equal each side. The Indians/Aboriginals are pounding their war drums with joy at the amount of money they make from selling tax exempt smokes because nothing on a reservation can be subject to provincial or federal tax. According to stats, each member of tnese tribes would need to smoke 46 packages a day to justify the volume sold. That includes the old and the infants.

                          Petrol. Ours has much higher taxes and you can only bring back a tankfull at a time so they don't bug you over that.

                          What I'm trying to say is, yes, there are some inequalities but the posted tariff rates are seriously inaccurate. I have made hundreds of trips across the border for purchases of everything from shoes to greenhouses. When I was in management in the steel industry, I handled the portfoilo for our Ontario and Buffalo locations so I have first hand knowledge of these workings.There has always been a push and shove relationship when it comes to that commodity.

                          But this is the first time I have ever seen a president insult an entire nation, their allies for over 200 years. And call us a security threat to boot.

                          I have first hand knowledge of the actual rates and can tell you that someone is playing a game. And if Trump was fair, he would call it straight. Mexico and their cheap labour are the elephant in the room.

                          Trump in his campaign marketed wisely to the states he needed the votes from. Hillary did not. Trumps plan of his campaign is being studied today.
