I would be in favour of them entering Canada by any legal means possible.  If they show up on our border seeking asylum I would expect our government to follow Canadian laws and process them as compassionately as possible according to the fucking laws we have on the books.

I assume if they made it here they would be vetted and some would be allowed to come here for a chance at a better life and pay taxes and contribute to our society.  Any person that can walk with their kids for thousands of miles is someone I would personally consider hiring based on their sheer determination & tenacity.

I also think the Canadian PM would be smart enough to ask the humanitarian organizations to assist in helping assimilate or maybe find other countries that need immigrants.

Everything is a fucking problem for you guys and an attack holy shit its a few thousand civilians with children, I guess you're nation is so fragile it feels under invasion by a few thousand scared 3rd world civilians, wow you guys are tough AND cool!

I would be ashamed to be Canadian if we unilaterally said FUCK off losers, to any group of people...

  Our prime minister will give them each $30,000 and a free house.

Maybe we should send them on through to Canada? What do you guys think?

Because this mob has not heard that one Texas Ranger will stop the entire crowd.

I hope you guys have enough bullets, I hear babies are harder to hit!  Maybe you guys could ask the Saudi's for some advice on how to use your missiles to bomb civilians!

Seriously you need to send thousands of military personal to stop a horde of a few thousand unarmed, walking civilians.  Cool!

Yeah, its pretty funny. These guys don't even have any idea who they are talking to. Probably the same kind of people that would unironically call a black man a white supremacist to his face.

Another question, are any of you even from the USA?

You're the one who threw down the race card, I only replied appropriately.

War hasn't been declared, but an uninvited horde of thousands intent on abusing our system, or otherwise ignoring our borders, is an invasion.   You can paint it any way you like if you prefer alternate semantics.  You are also welcome to ignore the cost to, and effect on our society, the strain it puts on the middle class.  You can minimize the difficulty in vetting the horde for criminals and insane, and possibly terrorists.

You may also insist I have an obligation to pay higher taxes to account for the services the horde needs, and tolerate more crime once they've marched into my country. 

Or, you can choose to ignore the big picture all together, and just call me a racist.  That'll settle it.

I am white people what does each of our race have to do with the price of horse shit in China?

Sovereignty, has someone declared war on the USA cause I missed that fucking memo...

Immigration is a massive distraction from the real threats and problems;

The trade war is going absolutely horribly, we're nearly to the point where we just say "fuck it, tax all of China's goods" cause they keep taxing strategic locations of American goods; so we're going 'nuclear' there. Economics is a social-political thing more than a governmental thing. I can't believe the conservatives think that the government should get more involved in trading is good thing. Starting the trade war over solar panels was a dipshit move. We're going to see this faux-economy bubble crash hard and crypto's gonna stay steady and rise from the ashes of USD. If I had to guess in this 'sector' of thought, $100k BTC by 2020.

We've entered the positive feedback loop my friends. Even if we were to cut emissions to 0% today, weather's going to get more extreme, and it's only going to be a harder fight. Wealth is going to be helpful for you and your kids. If you can afford a dome, you'll probably have a great life. I'm assuming a dome will be around 10 BTC by 2070. Good luck.

Then again, the government could just make radical change now and start massive programs to reduce and fight against the cycle; literally declaring a war on mother nature herself. Massive projects; to change the landscape of massive parts of the world to offset our previous emissions. Introduce tariffs on carbon emission to hasten the reduction of carbon emissions globally.

We needed to be proactive against the war years ago, and yet, we're just sitting here while the enemy continuously builds it machines of war increasing the threat to everyone, everywhere.

I'd rather discuss economics or climate change, those two political issues seem more larger than a group of like 500 people.

The solution the government has integrated so far is detain, release, supervise for asylum seekers. As criminals would be weeded out during background checks. Really, allocating additional resources towards the problem isn't really even required as the ingress isn't much larger than 2000-2010. So, again, I'd rather discuss real issues instead of someone's obvious distractions.

I am "brown people."  Do you know what sovereignty means?

LOL invaded LOL the brown people are coming!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you know what domestic means?

This is gonna be sooooooooooo awesome!

We are being invaded.  The people invading our border are not subject the protections against "domestic policing" as citizens, because they are not "domestic" or citizens.  Regardless of what Cameltoe Hairbag has lead you to believe, our military not only has the right to protect our borders, but the obligation to do so.

Operation faithful patriot appears to be underway.  5200 Soldiers are being sent to the border to deal with the mobs!

I'm not sure what the troops are supposed to do as by law they can not engage in domestic policing, including arresting people crossing the border illegally...  

I mean unless they revoke habeas corpus.!.!.

Great! More extra money for all the guys to give to the girls!

Congratulations middle class Americans you guys are getting a 10% tax cut before the mid terms.  That means within the next 2 weeks Trump is going to get new tax legislation through the house (the house isn't even in session until after the mid terms...).

More unprecedented lies from your pussy grabbing megalomaniac!!

lol...

Just joking...didn't mean to give you nightmares about the long lines of tomorrow...

First of all guys Canada is not a socialist country.  Canada is a social democracy, and there are some fundamental differences that I am sure few folks here would understand.

Second supply and demand a social democracy issue?

Last, I can assure you there hasn't been a weed shortage in Canada since the 1990's, so the entire argument is stupid anyways!  Canada is known around the world for producing some of the best strains ever!  

We are now building the infrastructure required for large scale legal production and when the American feds open the borders American companies will be behind the 8 ball and will send hundreds of millions of dollars across the border into Canadian Weed!!!!

Just another example of how much more progressive Canada is.  An entire market is emerging and it could be as large as the alcohol industry and Canada is building infrastructure that will allow us a MAJOR head start on American and European companies and billions will flow into Canada as a result of us being the first G7 country to legalize recreational canabis federally!


Dude there are no fucking bread line style pot lines and shortages, I guess you won't believe me but that doesn't change the fact that pot has never been easier to get than it is today.  From some one who lives here and enjoys canabis.

Why, after all the excuses and rationalizations by you socialists, the capitalists to your south stand ready to help, with their cash crops.

I'm doing nothing other than pointing out the total absurdity of Communist bread-line-style pot lines and shortages.

What did you expect to happen?  There is a HIGH demand for weed (get it?)

When you legalize weed, and 50% of the population wants some... you will run out because yesterday it was illegal to grow it, so the supply is very limited

Do you think you can grow 5000 tons of cannabis overnight?  It will take many months to ramp up production high enough to meet the demand for it...

This is simple economics and has NOTHING to do with socialism or capitalism... don't be stupid and try making this into something it is not

If this is you taking a pot-shot at socialism (sorry for another double-entendre)... you are a fool

LOL thats cute bro, if you think weed goes south to north you don't understand economics! The US market is almost 10X the size of the Canadian market.  We grow more weed here than we could ever smoke so guess where the extra goes!

Also I appreciate your worry about our supply but I just placed an order online and it says it will be here in 3-5 days!  Not to mention getting weed on the "black market" is just a text away for almost anyone!  We don't need your weed it's too hard to get it up here!


I personally don't think the US could adopt any type of UHC because of the legalized system of bribery you guys have and defend to the death!  Until you get out of that system you're right UHC can't work in the US. Whats amusing is that your government spends more public dollars per capita than Canada but Canada has UHC.  You could actually implement a system of UHC AND be more fiscally responsible by SAVING money...

Allowing corporations to buy candidates on both sides of the aisle (Clinton raised 3 fucking billion dollars) simply creates a disproportional balance of incentivization.  It incentivizes the politicians to keep their corporate donors happy!  Clearly this has created a situation where it places both parties in a permanent conflict of interest...
