    The Treaty of Ghent, which was signed after the War of 1812, states that neither country can build a barrier within ten feet of the border. So, this is yet another example of Trump violating an international treaty.

    In theory, by breaking this treaty, the United States has to forfeit certain US territory which was occupied by the British during the war. Be interesting to see if Canada makes an issue of this barrier and attempts to recover the land from the US.

        Don't want it. We have one of our own.

            Why mess up a BEAUTIFUL Island? Is Alcatraz still available?
            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

              I dunno man, I saw a season of some survivalists on that island, seems pretty brutal. We can make them live naked and afraid on vancouver island. We could even film them, and smudge out the naughty parts.

                I think it is time to enact the Golgafrinchan Ark plan from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
                We tell them that the Earth is doomed ("AOC was right! Global Warming will destroy our planet in 5 years! Nothing we can do!")
                We build space Arks to save humanity by flying them to Mars.
                We load up all of the democrats, social justice warriors, politicians, etc, and then we send them off to the stars while we stay here and have a beer.

                  You do know we are ruled by a Liberal, right? So enoufpgh people in the country already are stupid enough to elect the twit for a second time. We don't need anymore!

                  And VI is one of my favourite places to visit, so, heck, no!

                    It was never my intention to overburden the rational thinking people's of canada, those who are at least capable of identifying girls from boys by sex parts.

                    My appeal is to your better nature in helping us be rid of this infestation of common sense avoiding thought.

                    The vast beautiful country of canada could hide a liberal pocket of crazy, the expanse could swallow it from everyone's sight.

                    Or as Youngman use to say, "Take our liberals, please."

                      We'll, it would work if we sent them to Nunavit. They might appreciate some natural gas during the 6-month sunless winter, then, at least.

                      And they would never be allowed to vote.

                        Is there any discussions on corruption or fraud in the voting process there? Or does it seem the vote count is accurate?

                          The federal voting process is very messed up here. The number of candidates are predicated by population. So, for example, PEI, the province with the smallest population has 2 MP's, each of the territories has 1, while Ontario, with the highest population, has 121 MP's. This is very disturbing, and because of the way the system works, often Ontario and Quebec, with the highest number of seats, determine who has won before all the votes across the rest of the country are even completely counted.

                          There is a disproportionate amount of representation, and although people have been trying to change it for years, the Liberal and NDP parties don't want any change.

                          Here is an article about the unfairness of this voting system.

                          Provincial elections are different. Don't have to be concerned about what the rest of the country thinks.
