I am a MAGA voter, and every day I am increasingly ---mostly--- very very happy about Trump's performance. I just ignore his words, because actions speak louder than words. To some very limited extent it is rational to react directly to his words (which is what this article is pointing many Canadians are doing); however, the wiser course of action is to judge people mostly by their actions and results, not words. True, most Canadians are leftwingers who hate Trump; however, about 1/3 aren't, and here's the perspective of a Trump-supporting Canadian (https://barsoom.substack.com/p/maple-maidan). Overall, the problem is that across the modern world we are in civilizational collapse because we don't have enough children. Canada (and all countries that take in lots of immigrants, like the USA too) relies on poor countries remaining poor in order to import their immigrants. This is an immoral system: to rely on poor countries remaining poor. It is immoral for rich counties to rely on brain drain from poorer countries. Also, Canada isn’t fulfilling its NATO commitment to spend at least 2% of GDP on the military. Do your job and fulfill your responsibilities man!

So, my proposal to you in general would be to advocate local democracy: Let local counties/parishes (called municipal/regional districts in some parts of Canada) vote about whether they want to be in the USA or Canada. The USA would get most inland areas of what are today Canada/USA (you know, the places where people make food to feed everyone). On the western seaboard, the USA would take most of Alaska, the north side of the mouth of the Columbia River, most of the half-joking movement for a State of Jefferson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_(proposed_Pacific_state), and maybe Orange County, California. On the East Coast, Canada could take the Washington, D.C. area and north. But if Steven Harper's territories go to the side of freedom of prosperity (rather than decline and civilization extinction), then many pockets in the Canadian Maritimes (such as much of the St Lawrence Sound) would go to the USA. Pretty much all of the good petroleum, coal, wind & solar energy energy areas would be in the USA. Most of the good mining would be in the USA. Basically, if radical democracy were to work its course at the most local level, Canada would turn into a few scattered port cities with few other natural resources, but with the same # of people. Good luck with that. If we implemented full democracy, Canada would be like the Hanseatic League, which lasted a bit, but then…didn’t.
