In Canada we have MANY bullies. They like to throw their weight around and abuse the little guy, often with massive state powers. You know, $5000 fines if you went for a walk outside during covid, massive $100M+ extra freebie handouts to police agencies, new shiny multi-billion dollar police HQs etc.

They threaten the weak among them until one day they face a big dog who won't give in because the guy who is used to bullying people is a small fry compared to that he is standing up to.
Some people don't realize that the bullying against others leads to others feeling free to reciprocate. Canada/Ontario could hit America with 150% tariffs and it wouldn't hurt America remotely as much as it would Canada at only a 35% tariff rate.

We have really slow politicians in Canada. They have oatmeal for brains and little respect for civil liberties and human rights, even sometimes putting their thumb on the scale even when they didn't have even half of the facts.


Ontario Premier Doug Ford has once again taken a stand against Donald Trump. He believes that Canada should respond with equivalent tariffs against the United States should Donald Trump decide to implement new tariffs after his trade deal deadline on August 1st expires

Canada has nothing we desperately need that you don't have a desperate need to sell. They will be committing economic suicide.

That's part of the problem. The bigger issie now,.and quite frankly I know because I have corresponded with U.S officials; Canada is not viewed as an open market, a fair and honest partner looking to allow the free market to reign. Canada wishes to centrally control industries, pick winners and losers, ice out citizens AND U.S.corporations. Those U.S corporations who are here from IBM to Amazon are surely infiltrated by covert agents (I know for a fact). I will continue to say my piece about human right abuses as I face imminent homelessness while they steal another quarter milion in home equity from me. This in additions to millions in lost wages, leaving me homeless.and penniless.

Your personal issues have nothing to do with this discussion.
 
That Ford dude seems to be a tough guy, but in a very stupid way. Being a tough guy to benefit your country is a good thing but being a tough guy so you can crow about going toe to toe with Trumpy is just egotistically stupid.

Well, he is used to getting his way with the police in his pocket and this is why citizens in Ontario are struggling while there are record police budgets. In some cases they are literally removing breakfast programs for poor kids to ensure there is money for $150k a year cops.

Trump is unconcerned about the Police State in Canada and he will not be bullied obviously.

Perhaps not directly in regards to his comments but I assure you they do indeed have plenty to do with what is going on in Canada.

Trumps team isn't in the dark anymore and Canada has already paid billions and lost tens of thousands of jobs. Even if a trade deal is made now Canada won't be able to recover.

Again, you should leave. Apply for asylum if you can prove you're being persecuted.

I need to sell my home and get the $200K+ in my share of the equity.

After 40 years of interference into my careers this is all I have left to try and have SOME retirement cash.

I thought you said they were stealing it! Which is true?

It may be because I missed some of your posts, but you story seems as full of holes as Swiss cheese and completely unintelligible. But that is probably my fault.

Yes, they are trying to steal my home because they know I need this money to have some retirement.

They want me homeless or better yet, dead. That's been their agenda for 40 years.

I call them the wannabe Mussolini who ushered in fascism. The abusers of my rights have far more harm than they could have ever imagined. The Communication Age has exposed the Canadian Stasi.

Exactly how are they doing this?
 
15th post
In other words, you should be posting In Conspiracy Theories like I thought. Too funny!
An odd way to perceive my position. Is this a court of law? What benefit would I have to ever name names or granular details?

There are a number of Americans who have the details now. That's been my focus.

Then you admit that you have nothing to share, and just want to *****! Got it!

Why is it you post on this forum? I can't recall any significant contributions except when you are wrong about our government.
