Will the stupidity ever stop? Will the mindless babble ever cease? Do Canadians have to put up with the idiotic threats for the next four years?

U.S. President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, Mike Waltz, recently said he didn’t think the president had any plans to invade Canada. Seriously. A NATO country even talking about plans to invade another NATO country is ridiculous. However, the statement is still out there.

Waltz also said he thought the majority of Canadians would love to join the United States. What is he drinking?

Enough of the tip-toeing diplomacy by our weak-kneed government. At this moment, the country is in freefall. We need an election as soon as possible. Time to stop the freefall and get a party that will stand up for Canada.

CHILL, CANADA

Canadians need to calm down.

We seem to be on a road leading to fantasyland. U.S. President Donald Trump has zero respect for Lame Duck Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, so he trolled him about his becoming governor of the 51st state. Trudeau had childishly and foolishly demeaned Trump on several occasions in the past, so this was likely payback.

Canada is a democratic, sovereign country. Therefore, the idea of Trump magically making Canada part of the U.S. is pure fantasy. There certainly will be no military takeover, so Canadians need to just simmer down and get on with their lives.

Canadians need to concentrate on getting rid of the real threat to Canada’s existence: the Trudeau government.

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP

I think history will look at Donald Trump’s second term as pivotal to Canada. After nine years of Justin Trudeau’s postnational dystopia, Canadians are in disarray.

However, Trump has forced us all to come together in a way I have not seen in my lifetime. I believe we will come out of this a stronger, more united country, and I, for one, am grateful.
