Unless things have changed significantly since I last spent a bit of time in the Toronto area, quite a few around there are used to the social welfare system. And we all know about Quebec's taste for living off the rest of the country's hard work.
Actually, it's the same old story. Give people something they think is free, and they all want their fair share of it. Make it easy to go on welfare, and some people are happy to collect until the time runs out on and they are forced to work until they are eligible again (I had a coworker in the great white north who did that). It's not much different here if you're an illegal invader.
In some places the economy sucks, but the fishing is great, so rather than move to where the jobs are, they stay and collect as long as they can. I can't say I blame them for that.
Can you explain how our welfare system is different from US. Are there not "lifers" on the dole there as well? Last I checked I think there is a larger % of Americans on various social assistance programs than up here. Welfare is definitely not easy to get but once in the system, one can stay in forever, and those people will always exist no matter how good the job market. In fact, the number of people on welfare has been steadily decreasing for some time. I'm wondering if you are referring to Employment Insurance (EI) in your comment. It requires a certain amount of time working before one can qualify as we pay into the fund through deductions from salary. You must apply within one week of your last day of work and benefits last less than a year at around 50% of your last pay rate. So not something to rely on long term. if you work for the govt., in a union, your contract could very likely allow you to be on a disability for a year, come back to work for one day then be qualified for another year of disability. I get confused by the "commie canada" comments I always see on here. We aren't like that at all. Until Justin at least and I don't believe our elections are any more legit than yours. Thanks in advance for your insight.
I'm not going to assume things haven't changed from 30 years ago. Things in the States have degraded a lot in that time. There are plenty of lifers on welfare in the States. I don't know how that works, but the people who do are generational welfare recipients.
At the time I was working closely with some Canadians, I had people bragging to me that they only had to work a couple more months to go back on unemployment. One guy had only been with the company a few months, and had spent something like the previous 18 months living in a cabin in the Georgian Bay area, drinking, fishing, and chasing girls (he had the beer gut to prove the drinking part). I seem to recall he had a mix of unemployment and welfare.
Me, being who I am, asked a lot of questions. I was surprised at how easy it was for some people to game the system. I don't recall all the details anymore.
Honestly, I loved most of the people I knew from Canada. Most were fairly conservative. Had a couple different families come down and stay with us, and made a couple trips up to visit them. Sadly, lost touch with them over the years.
They wouldn't rest until they turned the US, into Canada. Just like Californias trashing their own state and then f- ing up the new state they move to.
Look at their speech laws. They go after pastors if they read about homosexuality in the Bible. They would always be whining about our Constitution. Canadians would have to overthrow their government to prove they want freedom. They won’t. Not even after being put in line for medical suicides. Isn’t that crazy??
I’m Canadian, and this is spot on. The last thing the U.S. needs is 40 million ungrateful retards that leach off the US while simultaneously berating it.
$100 Billion is there a breakdown of this total? What is it compromised of? We've been flooded with Indians, Arabs and Africans for the last 4 years. Our deficit has doubled under Trudeau. Food prices and rents are out of control. The cost of living is insane. The waits for free health care are longer than ever. Where is this $100 Billion going in Canada?!?
None of the US aid is reaching any civilians in need in any countries. Its all money laundered back to DNC and its affiliates to continue to execute nefarious actions.
It almost seems as if population replacement (i.e. we don't have enough doctors/teachers/builders, so we must import them) causes economic collapse, as it pressures housing markets and food availability.
LOL at economic theory written by toddlers. We must open the borders because:
According to psychic medium, Craig Hamilton-Parker, yes, Canada will be absorbed into the USA. (He's got a lot of predictions right in the past, including Trump's presidencies and attempted assassination.)
Wife has Fox2 Detroit on this morning for the local weather (lots of snow and cold in the forecast) and a commercial just popped on from Ontario touting how they are the biggest trade partner for 17 States (yes 17) and how closely aligned Americans and Ontarians are culturally and economically sharing the same western values.
Watching it I am sure this is in direct response to the tariffs.
Unfortunately, I haven't been there since before the bioweapon was released...
It was great to drive to Ottawa, Quebec or old Montreal and get some moose stroganoff and chocolate chip crepes... especially when the dollar was strong.
It's like being able to drive to Europe...
But... there's a high number of socialists, Chinese and in general, whiners about the US - similar to Europeans - always shitting on the US and telling us what we're doing wrong all the time. That's annoying...
They have 10 provinces and 3 territories. Certainly if we did annex Canada it wouldn't be a single state. It would be tough though, because Canada has roughly the equivalent population of California and New Mexico. Two of their provinces have roughly the populations of Milwaukee and Orlando. The 3 territories combined are about the population size of Cambridge Massachusetts (just over 118k people). Should they even be states - with 2 senators and a rep each? If you gave each province and territory statehood that would be 26 more senators and at least 35-50 more reps.
That would change our political landscape forever, and that's not even taking into account DC, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana islands, and the US Virgin Islands - should they want in on the action as well. That would be 12 more senators, and probably around 15 more reps.
Besides - think of all the money that would be spent shortening all of the football fields. kek
Realistically we need to shore up our hemisphere. Central and South America are predominantly Christian, catholica, and would benefit from a stable government and the civil rights we enjoy. Canada is 99% empty resource rich space, our siberia essentially. UNSWHA. United northern, southern, western hemispheres of America.
Canadian here, there are more Patriots here then you think. You think Turdy actually WINS elections? LOL.
Agreed fair Leaf. Also, Maples are my favorite Silver.
I am praying for those Patriots, as I have since the most encouraging vehicular protest on the planet.

The US has 40 Torontos.
I’m in WV but I live near one in Ohio.
That number might be a bit low. A few states have more than 1.
Missouri has three. Kansas City, Columbia, St. Louis.
Wow. I never even knew they were franchised.
Not for long.
Based Albertans are based, at least. I have a friend there.
Honk! Honk! Prepare to be liberated frens!
I already have a MAGA hat. Let's goooooo.
First Greenland and now Canada.
Those "God Emperor Trump" memes are starting to become a reality.
Greenland is very interesting BTW.
How so? Do tell/point...🍿
All roads lead to Rome
We don't want Canada, they vote commie.
Do they tho?
I've known a few,even the conservative ones are pretty liberal.
I've known more than a few. They are addicted to their social welfare.
Probably the cold weather makes them.

Look at their gun laws FFS.

I'm a Nazi. Don't lump us all together!
I said commie,but you are right their not much difference....
Very perspicacious of you.
The now hardened ex-commies were never commies in the first place...
Huh?
It references Operation Paperclip, whereby Canada took the Lion's share. The hardered ex-commies were Banderites escaping the clutches of Stalin.
Not all but many
I’m Canadian, and this is spot on. The last thing the U.S. needs is 40 million ungrateful retards that leach off the US while simultaneously berating it.
Yeah, you’re right we already have the Democrats…
Thanks...
they have oil
So do we. And we have trees. We have no reason to import either one of those.
the #1 US import country for oil is Canada
Good it must just be cheeper than shipping their own oil east then. I just remember biden shutting down the keystone pipeline.
IMO this is Globalist rigging to eliminate local competition.
A general rule of thumb ----- if it involves big ships/transport, it's probably Globalist rigging.
Canada is actually a Royal real estate With Chinese management

Corruptions at the highest levels.
With a little skimmed off the top for participating in the scam.
It almost seems as if population replacement (i.e. we don't have enough doctors/teachers/builders, so we must import them) causes economic collapse, as it pressures housing markets and food availability.
LOL at economic theory written by toddlers. We must open the borders because:
They said.
It's a trade imbalance.
To be honest, this is a great idea.
FYI
GDP and population of Canada is approximately that of California.
I used to work for a Canadian-based company so I know stuff.
They can keep Toronto. And Quebec.
And Vancouver, Brampton, many places lol.
No, we need this in Brampton worse than anyone! There’s still a few of us here putting up the fight.
Invade them, conquer them and turn them into a protectorate.
As a Canadian, I say. PLEASE COME LIBERATE US.
-Hold on! I'm Comin'!
-Trump probably.
When we're done, we're giving all of you Canadian patriots a huge stockpile of weapons and positions of authority.
At this point I’ll take anything over the dictatorship of Justin Castro
Arterius gets to be governor of the protectorate.
🤣🤣🤣
Nah, don't need the collaboration with a nation that harbors foreign interference in US intelligence
I love Trump!!
Trump should make Doocy his spokesman

The territories would likely stay territories. The maritime provinces could be combined
Never. Great Britain owns Canada.
Why would we want part of Canada! 🤯🤦♀️
Border state here. No thanks. Seriously.
I think that’s fine, but the leftie sleeper citizens need to be removed/exiled.
They're not even a real country anyway
LMFAO WHAT A FUCKING HERO!!!
I have zero interest in learning French... which is huge deal to my cousins in Quebec 😂
