Or, y’know, he could hire 50% more programmers / contractors, instead of overworking his current staff

Ugh, thanks for sharing. Gonna have to block OP …

I’d call the local Fire Marshal.

To be fair, it’s likely that a really wealthy person would buy citizenship for their immediate family as well.

Goddammit! Imma sic the spirit of Bobby Clarke on that hat!

Heck, if I’m banned from Canada anyway, I’ll just go be a Flyers fan, lol !

I am confused by this article.

The headline says they want to change the borders, but I didn’t see any details in the article about redrawing the border. They say they’re interested in doing so, but there aren’t any details. They say that Trump wants control of the Keystone XL pipeline, but the details they give simply say that he wants it built. It’s like they shoved all the Canada-US relations stuff into one article, but didn’t bother editing it or making it coherent.

On another note, Trump himself is confused:

"We protect Canada, but it’s not fair. It’s not fair that they’re not paying their way, and if they had to pay their way they couldn’t exist,” he told reporters.

Uh, no, Canada has protected our northern border. If we’d had to protect that on our own, we’d be a much more closed, paranoid and militaristic place. [Isn’t that a scary thought!]

Can I negotiate? I’m more of a Maple Leafs person.

This ‘poll’ assumes a level of awareness and self-reflection that I’m not sure most Trump voters actually have.

Edit: the feelings quoted in the article seem to mostly be a reaction to the effects of his policies, not (generally) a dissatisfaction with the policies themselves or him personally. That means they’ll find some way to justify both him and the Republican party in future. Nothing’s changed, nor will it.

Uh, no. When he was president, Bush junior had to get special permission from the Canadian government to enter Canada, because he’d had a DUI conviction like 30 years earlier. Diplomatic passports / diplomatic immunity have to be granted by the nation being visited.

If you’re unsure of your vaccination status, and Americans born after 1957 and who got their vaccination before 1967, should consider getting a booster shot.

Also, someone who was infectious spent eight hours touring college campuses, six hours in bars and restaurants, and three hours in crowded tourist attractions last weekend. Measles is one of the most contagious diseases known: in a group with no immunity, every person will infect an average of 14 other people. I’m mentioning the campus visitor because they exposed an awful lot of people,a fairly high percentage of whom are likely college students.

The bad news is that the rash that usually lets you know you have measles takes about 14 days to develope - and 14 days from the date of the campus visitor, at least one of the universities starts their spring break. Depending on who got infected and where they go for spring break, this could spread fairly quickly.

Afaik, he can’t get into Canada anyway, having been convicted of 34 felonies.

Russian Asset says what?
