I went to the grocery store today, lots of items had tags with "Made in Canada" along with a Maple leaf.

I wasn't expecting it, but I'm glad they did it. Makes shopping a lot easier.

So, I follow a Canadian protest site on FB wherein they identify Canadian products to buy now and not American brands...Yes, the Maple leaf is in grocery aisles...This group is magnificent with information and asking for alternative Non-American sources....very involved and proactive. I am impressed.

I believe if Canada were warmer, and jobs were not an issue, millions of Americans would seek to move to Canada.

Canada many would move to the Southern US and dilute the Republican vote there. Even most of our conservatives are further to the left of Democrats. 75% of Canadians as it is are left, center left (the ones who don't vote conservative). USA would be Democratic in most ways for generations not to mention people, who know the ins and outs of universal healthcare Canadians love, mixing with Americans who already don't like the Healthcare they have. Hopefully just the thought of it shuts Trump up.

Liberals messing with Republican politics everywhere should shut Trump up.
