craigdritchie Posted November 9, 2016 Report Posted November 9, 2016 I feel embarrassed for our friends to the south. And we did better by electing Trudeau?
lookinforwalleye Posted November 9, 2016 Report Posted November 9, 2016 And we did better by electing Trudeau? I am no Liberal supporter by any stretch but come on comparing Donald Trump to Trudeau you serious???
Mister G Posted November 9, 2016 Report Posted November 9, 2016 I read Trump's win as a complete and total rejection of everything Obama. BINGO ! ! !
grimsbylander Posted November 9, 2016 Report Posted November 9, 2016 And we did better by electing Trudeau? I can't believe you seriously made the parallel between Trudeau and Trump. Quite the stretch in order to criticize.
BillM Posted November 9, 2016 Report Posted November 9, 2016 And we did better by electing Trudeau? That's quite the comparison, lol.
Rizzo Posted November 9, 2016 Report Posted November 9, 2016 although Trudeau and Trump are totally opposite people, they are both totally unprepared to run a country...so I do see the parallel.
grimsbylander Posted November 9, 2016 Report Posted November 9, 2016 I read Trump's win as a complete and total rejection of everything Obama. Obama yes, but it doesn't end there. This was a message that anyone willing to give the current state of politics the finger and ruffle the feathers of the status quo has a place in today's system. This can't be pinned solely on Obama or any other democrat. It's about change. This is a large scale version of Rob Ford. He portrayed the image of anything but a politician and that's just what TO wanted.
grimsbylander Posted November 9, 2016 Report Posted November 9, 2016 although Trudeau and Trump are totally opposite people, they are both totally unprepared to run a country...so I do see the parallel. And the hair so there's two. lol
jimmer Posted November 9, 2016 Report Posted November 9, 2016 It's a Democracy and the people have spoken. Just glad it's over with.
Terry Posted November 9, 2016 Report Posted November 9, 2016 congratulations to president elect democracy in action
Old Ironmaker Posted November 9, 2016 Report Posted November 9, 2016 Donald ripped the band aid off US politics, and the voters didn't like what they saw and voted anti establishment more than for Trump. With both Congress and Senate having a majority of Republican members he has cart blanch with whatever he wants to do. I wish him and the American public the best.
OhioFisherman Posted November 9, 2016 Report Posted November 9, 2016 This may have been a message to both political parties here, a non politician wins? Maybe it's time for them to stop concentrating on what they want? and start showing more concern about what the people want? He took a lot of rust belt states, I don't think a lot of people were down with Washington's trade deals? We have managed to survive every president so far?
SirCranksalot Posted November 9, 2016 Report Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) A victory for all the baser instincts---hatred, racism,bigotry. They set their clocks waaay back----like to about 1920!! My advice to Americans would be to read up on the politics of Germany in the 1930's. Edited November 9, 2016 by SirCranksaLot

blaque Posted November 9, 2016 Report Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) "Across the Midwest, across the Rustbelt, I understand why a lot of people are angry. And they see Donald Trump as their human Molotov cocktail that they get to go into the voting booth on Nov 8. and throw him into our political system, I think they love the idea of blowing up the system," This was probably a majority of the rationale used when people made the choice to elect him in. No matter who you were behind down here, its no time for gloating or for sour grapes. Edited November 9, 2016 by Blaque

AKRISONER Posted November 9, 2016 Report Posted November 9, 2016 This... A bit rattled, but isnt this what lifes about? life gives you lemons, make lemonade. I dont think we will all die in a nuclear hollocaust...at least i hope.
manitoubass2 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Posted November 9, 2016 When life gives me lemons, I paint that it gold!
John Bacon Posted November 9, 2016 Report Posted November 9, 2016 Wow! Hillary doesnt even address her supporters. That says something about her character. I'm sure if the Republicans had a less controversial candidate it would have been a real blowout. I think the same may have been true for the Democratic candidate. And we did better by electing Trudeau? I think we did. And I didn't vote for Trudeau. You cancelled your membership to Steelhead Manifesto?
T-Bone Posted November 9, 2016 Report Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) I'm amazed this many of you have knowledge, and opinion, and seem to quite passionate about all of this. When Canada has an election, I'd bet there's only a handful of people in the US that have any idea of who is even running, or any knowledge of how the system works. I'd bet there is even less a chance that anyone cares. Don't worry...as I've said before....Donald Trump won't be running the country. He'll certainly take credit for the successes and failures within his tenure though. As an American, it was clear Hillary tried (and almost succeeded) to buy the election. And if I would have had to withstand four years of hearing her shrieking voice I would have surely moved to your side of the border. Donald or Hillary...really doesn't matter much. Life here in the states rolls on...as it has for many, many presidential elections. Edited November 9, 2016 by T-Bone

And if hillary had successfully bought the vote, cold wart pt. 2 was about to get uglier and possibly hot
Oggie Posted November 9, 2016 Report Posted November 9, 2016 Well I'm not a Trump fan but we agree on one thing ..... NAFTA wasn't good for the US or Canada despite what the CEO's tell you. I think he'll stop the rhetoric and he might actually run the country with its citizens in mind. Remember government don't run countries anymore corporations do.
manitoubass2 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Posted November 9, 2016 NAFTA has always been a horrible thing.
