How long does it take for a Canadian to make $1? Just curious. Another statistic I heard, but I have not done any research, is that 1 in 5 Americans view Canada as an enemy. If Trump keeps repeating that Canada has been ripping them off, that we are a failed socialist state, anti-Christian (the Conservative Party is pushing that line) and pro-trans, he will convince the majority of Americans that we must be annexed to save America. And if the results of the November elections - assuming Trump hasn’t declared martial law - are contested, the US will have a civil war or at least civil unrest. And then MAGA alpha-males will come north to occupy land on the new frontier. But this time the “restless natives” will be Canadians.

My Granddad would say, ‘Don’t eat that Herbie, that’s horse shit’. ( road apples) whenever someone was leading me down the garden path.

First; a good Democracy needs some Socialism to make it work, aiming for equitable wealth distribution and reduced social inequality. However, we also need incentives to get to where we want to be. We are not all built the same and our goals and expectations can vary. From a couch potato to a workaholic, and each should be rewarded accordingly.

When 1% of the work force make the equivalent $ of all the remaining 99% of workers and many of them living in poverty or pay check to pay check

I wondered about the time it takes us to make a dollar too! My question to myself, is how many hours do I have to work to buy such and such-a block of cheese, a tank of gas, my mortgage payment? Since I never earned much above minimum wage most of my working life, it takes a long time to have a comfortable and secure life. And I worked hard all my life! I definitely do not trust the US government or the1%. But most Americans are great people.
