Trump doesn't like us!
 

Fame at last!

Trump says no wall on Canadian border, except for New Brunswick | The Manatee

Never have I been more pleased to be tucked safely away where he can't find us. Watch out the rest of you!

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

I hope trump gets to be president. It will be like rob ford as mayor, but bigger and funnier.

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

All hail President Donald Dumpf.

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

and a tiny bit more dangerous.

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

Like Kim Jong Un, only with the real range.

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

John Oliver summed up Donald Drumpf nicely I thought :@)

Did America lose a bet?

:lol:I've had that site tucked away in my Humour bookmarks with Private Eye, NewsBiscuit and others for ages, but I keep forgetting to visit.

I must check more often :nod:

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

There are probably many here who don't know of The Honeymooners, a comedy sitcom of another era. The main character was Ralph Kramden, a NYC bus driver with a angry attitude about life. Someone has cleverly inserted Trump into a short clip from one of the episodes.
Ralph has Trump pegged here.

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

Do Canadians really care if Trump becomes President because I don't.
No wall will be built. We will still be able to travel to the USA if we wish.
He will not send US troops to invade Canada but lets face it any US President could and there would be **** all Canada could do to stop them.
He will not cut off trade between the 2 countries but he might impose more administrative regulations but I doubt it.
I don't see what all of the fuss is about as Canadians are not voting for him.
From a comedy perspective I would like to see him become President but he won't be imposing on my day to day life thats why I don't care.

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

Most Canadians may think this through a little deeper than you, no worries.

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

Better Trump than Cruz and better Mickey Mouse than either of them...

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

Please elaborate on the thinking it through a little deeper.
Without speculation, rumour or fear mongering just how would Trump becoming President affect Canada?
You almost sound like a UK politician campaigning for the STAY IN THE EU :p

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

Given that the US is the major trading partner of Canada there are lots of things that he could do. Fortunately, it doesn't affect me, so I can just watch and laugh.

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

It doesn't seem unreasonable to take an interest. It's not like Canada is more interested than the rest of the world but there would be good reason given that the USA is just next door.

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

Some Canadians may vote for him, there are Canadians with USC and can vote in the election.

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

Like I said, no worries, FL.:thumbup:

That fat cad stole my joke. :thumbdown:

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

Im not saying we shouldn't be interested in who they elect but seriously what are if any the ramifications for Canada if he is elected? Im just asking what they think they might be based on good evidence as opposed to WHAT IF.
WHAT IF the world ends tomorrow then its no longer a problem.
WHAT IF Clinton, Sanders or other besides Trump becomes President what is there to say they wouldn't do the same as people think Trump would.
Saying and doing are completely different and I have learned not to get to bogged down with WHAT IF'S.

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

Don't you get to vote here? :confused:

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

Yes I do and what if anything has that got to do with Trump unless he decides to invade Canada.
I can't vote in the USA so thats ok with me.
Both countries use a democratic voting system so its up to the voter who or which party they choose to vote for.
I can't honestly think why I as a Canadian should be scared or disappointed or whatever else if Trump becomes President. How will this affect me or Canada is all Im asking.

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

Canada is, economically, a branch plant of the US, so, if a President acts in such a way as to harm the US economy, he or she, incidentally damages the Canadian economy. If the countries were independent it would be heartless not to care what happens to the US, as they are not, it's shortsighted.

As noted above, it's actually the Canadian candidate who's most frightening, an utter lunatic.

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

:ohmy: Absolute proof the man has a screw loose. And it's NB's tap water that is to blame. :lol:
I would think it's gonna be a case of a wall to keep the sane Americans from invading Canada (to try and live here) if that nut job gets to be the big boss!

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

Yes but that will be fine as we'll have Donnie in charge of Diplomatic relations, and what with Kim Jong, Assad and Putin.....what could possibly go wrong:unsure:

Yes FL, I care if a real buffoon is elected in the US or anywhere in the EU....I would'nt be gleeful if Marine Le Pen fought her way up the greasy pole in France, or indeed if the UK left the EU.

Big walls notwithstanding, the team heading the future of one country and it's economic and political policies tends to have a great big knock on effect on the lives of its near and not so near neighbours.

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

Im not saying he's not a buffoon but I have been asking for specific examples of how Canada would be aversely affected if Trump became President. It appears that the vast majority don't want him as President but when asked why they seem very silent in giving examples or what they fear.
I have given reasons why Im not afraid of him becoming President and I honestly don't believe that if he became President tomorrow it would not affect my daily life.
I won't lose my job. My bank won't close nor will the shops I shop at. I will still have access to Hydro, Natural Gas, Water, TV, Internet and all the other services I use. We will still have access to public transportation and we have our own supply of resources. So what do I have to fear if Trump becomes President?

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

I reckon he is in cahoots with Clinton. If Trump and Clinton win the nominations, Clinton will likely win the presidency.

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

Just as a matter of interest is this just Trump you feel this about or any US President?

I had a distinct impression that a nuclear war was more likely under Reagan than others. The fall out might have affected you even if you weren't incinerated.

With some of the things Trump has said might there not be the possibility (or likelihood?) of more or greater acts of terrorism? You might get caught up in something like that even if it is only increased arguments over confiscated cellphones :rofl:

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

Over the last 28 years I have lived in Canada and when the US have had to elect a President none of those elected were as vocal, politically incorrect or as straight forward talking as Trump.
There are allegedly 9 nations with nuclear weapons including the USA
Russia, United Kingdom, France, China, India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea.
Of the 8 Im pretty sure 4 of them would not be threatening the USA i.e. UK, France, Israel and India. Russia, China and Pakistan if provoked could and as for North Korea they have threatened the USA without Trump being the President.

Canada said No to the US during the Gulf Wars and provided support in Afghanistan. ISIS have threatened us again with Trump not being President though he has indicated to wipe ISIS out.
All those US Presidents who have intervened and got involved in wars and skirmishes with other countries how many were called Trump? Did Canada object to or fear Presidents such as Reagan, Bush Sr, Clinton, Bush Jr and Obama?
They have all been involved at some stage of the US exercising their power.
So apart from the nuclear fallout if the US or even Canada was hit why should I worry about who the US elect as President even if it is Trump?

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

Nevertheless, I believe few had the Doomsday clock as close to Armageddon as in Reagan's time. Not even in the Cuban missile crisis.

Does that make a terrorist attack more likely or less?

Personally the threat of being incinerated or surviving that but starving, sick, dying etc is enough to worry about. The price of beans or what document needed at the border not so much. ;)

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

Can you honestly say that a small bit of your soul wouldn't wither?

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

I fear that he'll make a mess of the shared economy. I don't think he'd be good with money and I don't think he'd be good with foreign affairs, he'd be likely to provoke a foreign war and domestic (domestic including Canada) terrorism by accident. Interestingly, he's the only politician, worldwide, in history, to have worse hair than Harper. That said, the Canadian Candidate is a bone fide lunatic so, if it's Repug, Little Marco is the least worst.

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

He could rip up NAFTA but Ive seen no evidence to suggest he would. I do believe he could become more protectionist than others but we have only been fighting the softwood lumber trade dispute for the last 20 odd years or so.
How many trillions of dollars are the USA in debt without Trump being President.
I could see him declaring war on Quebec but who wouldn't? Yes he has worse hair than Harper but we had Harper for 10 years Trump has a maximum of 8 yrs.
He might push for US air carriers to operate within Canada but if it means lower air fares I wouldn't be complaining perhaps the same might happen with US cellular services.
He could build more towers in Canada and that would be good for construction the same with golf courses.

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

There will likely be more refugees from shitty wars in the middles east. So you'll be busier if trump wins FL.

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

Trumps not even President yet and we are increasing our take of refugees. 25,000 Syrians already and more to come. Shame we didn't do the same for the Afghanis, Libyans and a few others where Canada supported the US in those shitty wars.

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

I think the difference in opinion between us is rooted in your view that Canada is a country and my view that it's effectively a State. I think you've fallen into that North American parochialism whereby the farthest one can see is the next State. If a President drags the country into a foreign war then it drags all the States, Canada included, into that war. I fear that Trump and, even more so Cruz, will take on Putin.

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

I reckon Trump and Putin would be on friendly terms. Cruz, yeah he'd probably have a go.

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

Did we get dragged into the Iraq War? As we are part of NATO we have to now and then show willing to NATO sanctioned conflicts but how much resources Canada actually contributes is left to our PM. Now sure if we are seen not to be pulling our weight some of those countries might look at Canada in disdain but they won't publicly say it like when we pulled out the CF18s.
I keep an open mind as Im still British and don't fully subscribe to the whole North American crap.
Has Putin done anything wrong lately and if he has should we send him a very strongly worded letter? What is Mr Cameron in the UK doing with Putin where over the last several months UK fighter jets have been scrambled to intercept Russian bombers? Hard to be critical of Putins bombing of Syria and allegedly hitting civilians when our own NATO forces have done the exact same thing.

Re: Trump doesn't like us!
 

You do realize a US president only executes the laws not makes them. Secondly, the federal government itself has very limited powers, those which it does have are explicit. The rest of the goings on are really the purview of the states and local municipalities.
