Don’t we already host enough hate-filled shitegobs? You can keep yours. I recommend building a wall around Alberta.
Also Maine and Vermont, which could always use lumberjacks.
I didn’t think it would take long for someone among the Cons to try out Trumpism as a strategy, even though it may have cost Harper the last election (and Leitch was involved in that bit of foot-shooting too) Commentators were surprised that there were twelve hopefuls at the Conservative leadership debate yesterday, but it just shows how easy it is to find twelve mediocrities in that party.
Hopefully, Leitch just sunk her chances.
Blaming Alberta is the default, but we can’t this time. Leitch is MP for Simcoe-Grey in Ontario. I notice her Wikipedia page has already been updated to mention yesterday’s speech.
It’d still take care of a lot of your regressive troubles, though. Wall it off, rename it Galt’s Gulch, and it’ll become a magnet for all the terrible people in both our countries. We’ll set up tons of video cameras in all populated areas as a condition of creating this space, so the rest of us can watch them autodestruct from the safety and comfort of our living rooms.
Hey, only Canadians, and especially Ontarians, are allowed to dump on Alberta. Anyway, you have 50 states and we only have 10 provinces. Surely you can spare one. Why should we have to throw away a beautiful place like Alberta? They even elected an NDP government last time around. (For those not familiar with it, the NDP is what the farthest-left Democrats would call “extreme left”). Calgary has probably Canada’s most progressive mayor in Naheed Nenshi.
Perhaps we could lure them into Idaho – I think that our Randians have identified it as being one of their targets for takeover. Lovely State, but in the interest of sanity, a small price to pay.
RIP Leonard Cohen.
Sorry America we’re gonna ignore you for a bit and be sad for ourselves for a bit.
I just came here to thank you guys for sharing this wonderful human being with the rest of the world…
If it wasn’t for Canada, we wouldn’t have Leonard Cohen…
Point of order - this is a thread of complaints, not compliments.
What about condiments?
Mustard only!
So, no contaminants?
That would be Canada, the blotch of the Escutcheon of the American Continent (please note I consider the area south of the Wall-to-be* to be part of South America, per the pending Constitutional Amendment).

That’s cute.
The only thing that separates me from ON is a river and a paltry 40 miles. Also, grew up in Manitoba’s southern anex - Minnesota. Heck, after I finish downing this Molson next to me, you won’t know the difference by talking to me.
One oddity of livng in SE Mchigan is that we expect and demand CBC on our cable systems. Every Saturday in hockey season, I can’t wait to see what Grapes pulled from his closet this week.
The provinces described for Americans.
Okay, that’s a little bit funny, but why the Quebec bashing? (I assume it’s bashing. I can’t really make sense of the description.)
I haven’t been treated badly there, despite my pathetic French. Like anywhere else, not being a dick will take you a long way.
I didn’t make 'em, just sharing.
We vacationed all over QC this past summer, never had a bad time. MrPants speaks passable French tho and I can read it, so we were ok? I dunno. Toronto also has a rep as being a cold and unfriendly city and I don’t understand that either…
