I am also appalled by what’s happening a few miles into Canadian territory. You guys elected the ugly Trudeau.

- Donald Trump received 77,303,568 votes.
- Kamala Harris received 75,019,230 votes
- But the decision as to who won is determined by the electoral college Trump won the election with 312 electoral votes to Harris's 226.
- The total number of votes cast in the 2024 election was 155,201,157, representing a voter turnout of 58.2% of the Voting Age Population (VAP)
- How does the electoral college work?Here's a simplified explanation:1. Electors, not direct votes: Instead of directly voting for a presidential candidate, voters in each state cast their ballots for a slate of "electors" who are pledged to that candidate.2. State-based allocation: Each state gets a specific number of electors, based on its total number of Representatives in the House and its two Senators in the Senate. This means states with larger populations generally have more electors.3. Winner-take-all (mostly): In 48 states and Washington, D.C., the presidential candidate who wins the popular vote in that state receives all of that state's electoral votes. Maine and Nebraska use a proportional system, allocating some electoral votes based on the winner of each congressional district and two for the statewide winner.4. The magic number: A candidate needs to secure at least 270 electoral votes (out of a total of 538) to win the presidency.

As a Canadian I think trump might be doing us the biggest favour in a generation.
We were soft and complacent relying on our neighbours to the south.
It was too easy.

Carney is our Prime Minister

@Lee: I know Carney is “ugly Trudeau” - same stupid policies that are bankrupting the country, but none of the Castro family looks.
As for your other points, I’m fairly sure you already know that the border defense, immigration policy and foreign relations is under the purview of the President, exclusively, per the constitution.
The rest of your points you seem to not understand that what Obama and Biden proclaimed via decree can be undone by any future President, you just don’t like it, but that doesn’t make it unconstitutional. Democrats have been in power for most of the time since FDR and Congress has given FDR and every Democrat president after more and more power to sidestep congressional oversight, which means any president can undo it. Don’t like it, you shouldn’t have cheered when Obama did it, shouldn’t have cheered on the New Deal and the Green New Deal and Fast & Furious and ObamaCare and every three-letter agency going after people’s rights.
If Democrat city dwellers are so furious that the soap, ballot and jury boxes failed, they should pick up their ammo boxes and… oh wait, they don’t have any.

The grocery index decreased by 0.4% in April compared to March, marking the largest monthly decline since September 2020.
A major contributor to this drop was a sharp decrease in egg prices, which fell by 12.7% – the biggest one-month decline in over 40 years.
Gas prices fell for the third month in a row.
Workers’ real wages are up 1.9%, increasing each of the last three months.
Prices for airfare, energy, hotels, and used vehicles are all down compared to last year.
Inflation cooled for the third straight month in April after some of President Donald Trump's tariffs took effect
Facts don’t care about your feelings.
