This has angered some Canadian politicians. I wish they showed this much emotion when I reached out to some of them.
It's unfortunate that Americans have to see Canada for what we are, I've done my part to educate the world, even as I wanted to go about my life for a very long time (and it was denied). I've been called many names on Canadian forums, some calling me a "traitor" and worse. That's life. I know who I am and I suspect what they are.
The fact is, too many of us have had our lives destroyed here, and no politician has the courage to defend us. With what we are facing right now, it's possible Canadians, like in some movie, will be headed to the U.S border for freedom. I am guessing it's more of a reality than some admit.
It's really astonishing that we got to this point. The RCMP and their surrogates have destroyed this nations civil liberties for a very long time, now we pay the Piper in one form or another. Ditto for Toronto Police and OPP. We are the most personally indebted nation on earth and one of the most overvalued housing markets. Now with this mass unemployment (much of it won't return), the party could be over for awhile.
Just remember, when I post some controversial, negative news about Canada, I once almost chose to fight for, and risk my life for, my country. I decided to change course, but at least I cared enough to consider putting it on the line. This country has rarely reciprocated what I once loved about us, until I learned it was all great theory and PR while the same abusers hurt us all.
Honestly, I won't judge this decision if it comes to fruition. Do what you have to do America, to ensure you remain a Republic and aren't overwhelmed in a month. We've lost too much even as some of us screamed from the rooftops for justice and basic freedoms. Some of us would have been great ambassadors for Canada, instead, we represent what goes wrong with unchecked power and abuses.
Trump looking to put troops near Canadian border amid coronavirus fears
American government officials inside Donald Trump’s White House are actively discussing putting troops near the Canadian borders in light of U.S. border security concerns around the coronavirus pandemic, sources tell Global News.
Few people cross from Canada into the United States at an unofficial point each year but the goal of the policy would be to help border guards detect irregular crossers, the sources said.
