Wow! Do you believe that American voters could actually vote for Donald Trump to be the next President of the most powerful nation on earth – next to China that is? According to recent polls, that could be a real possibility. Not so good for Canada eh! Canada has often been described as the mouse sleeping next to an elephant. The U.S. sneezes and Canada catches a cold.
Furthermore, the American media has indicated that a substantive number of Americans would seriously contemplate moving to Canada should Trump get elected. The question then becomes whether Canadians really want these confused, disheartened political refugees as part of Canadian society? The answer is probably “no way”. We have plenty of confused and malcontent Canadians to go around as it is.
Just what is it that American refugees would have to offer Canadians? Guns, religion in politics, reality shows, more illegal drugs, the Zika virus, militarism, more gang warfare, etc., etc. Hey Canadians, it may be time to close the border. So what if 80 percent of Canada’s trade is with the U.S.! Cancelling NAFTA may challenge Canadians to develop their own smart phone and automotive technologies. One could name our own car the “Loonie Car”. Canada has plenty of natural resources, technical know-how and highly educated workforce to survive on our own.
Just think, building a wall would create a pile of construction jobs at a time when the Canadian economy could use a boost. It just has to be high enough so that the average American can’t hurdle it – five feet should do. The wall doesn’t have to be bland and unattractive. Indeed, there are plenty of Canadian graffiti artists available to decorate the Canadian side of the wall. Again, employment creation. Hey, with the Canadian dollar at 75 percent of the foreign exchange value of the American dollar, building a wall at this time would be a bargain for American taxpayers. So Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, let’s put this idea on the table when you meet with President Trump.
