@DhallaRuby You should pull us out of Nato. Cause enough of a security threat to the US that they have to take us over. Hopefully, @realDonaldTrump will put most of the current Liberal government in jail for their corruption.

@SpencerFernando The Liberals have certainly helped to increase the number of Canadians owning guns. Making the country unsafe tends to do that.

@kshahrooz It's a new world. Your assumption seems to be that the US needs the rest of the world, when it more appears the US is becoming more isolationist and building a fortress around itself (i.e. Greenland, Canada). Only a small part of their economy is foreign trade, half in NAFTA.

@SpencerFernando Wouldn't this work out like when the Liberals sent 2B to that Quebec manufacturing company a few months back, in an effort to win a byelection? Lots of money spent, only Liberal insiders benefit, nothing to show?

The overwhelming majority of Canadians want to see a Federal election.
If Canadians on the right think blaming the Canadian Government for Donald Trump's threats against Canada will work out well, I don't know what to say at this point. The overwhelming majority of Canadians want to see unity and a strong national response to defend our sovereignty. Many conservative ideas can help with this, such as emphasizing military strength, building pipelines, making Canada the best place to do business, etc. That is what right-wing Canadians - and all Canadians - should focus on, rather than internal sniping and attempting to make excuses for Donald Trump's inexcusable attitude towards Canada.

@DhallaRuby @liberal_party Ending Liberal Party corruption, at least for a few years, would also be a nice add on.

For anyone wondering whether criminal law is a joke in Ontario, the answer is yes.
How many more chances do repeat violent offenders get before meaningful change happens? Thanks to @TPS22Div Major Crime unit for re-arresting this individual. 397 total charges, including assault, assault with a weapon, dozens of break-and-enters, and multiple failures to comply. This is yet another example of why we need real bail reform NOW. @TPACallanan

@KalieSunn61536 @SCJOntario_en You're preaching to the choir when it comes to the LSO. They had me on the board for a bit, but have not invited me back.....

Canada sees your Albanian, and raises you a Hungarian out on bail with several hundred charges. Only in @JustinTrudeau's Canada......
An Albanian burglar who cannot be deported from the UK is currently driving around in a £300,000 Rolls-Royce whilst claiming asylum. Total madness. We need to leave the ECHR and deport foreign national criminals.

In Ontario, we have managed to come up with a uniquely bad justice system. Not only does it increasingly not work for Ontario residents, but Ontario lawyers earn on average about 60% as much as their NY counterparts. It does however work very well for those at the top....
@michaelsfirm Honestly, as a female middle eastern litigant who wasn’t born in Canada, the only thing I want to see in your face is that you care that the little plebes like me have access to justice. And I know you care about that.

@SpencerFernando So is the AfD hoping to bring back the Nazis, or are Germans perhaps legitimately upset about uncontrolled immigration, and a number of high profile attacks by a number of those immigrants on German citizens?

Likewise, Canadian judicial candidates are asked "Given the goal of ensuring that Canadians are able to look at the justices appointed to the bench and see their faces and life experiences reflected there, you may provide about yourself that you feel would assist in this objctve"

As I consider applying to be the next Chief Justice of the @SCJOntario_en, can anyone give me advice on how to answer "How has your experience provided you with insight into the diversity of Canadians, and their unique perspectives and lived realities?"

Odd there could be misinformation, when leading jurists have faulted the @SCJOntario_en specifically for a lack of transparency and data on their operations.
Canada's chief justice decries misinformation as top court turns 150. Wagner says SCC needs to do more now to inform the public at start of cross-country tour.

@kinsellawarren While many Canadians are displeased with the US, many more hate our Dear Leader @JustinTrudeau and his corrupt party, and would like to believe this country is a democracy where the people will someday get to vote the current bums out of office.

@SpencerFernando Umm, hasn't our 'Dear Leader' @JustinTrudeau pretty much said the same thing, and tried to turn us into a 'post nation state?' It seems like that means crime, government corruption, uncontrolled immigration and big lines at the food banks.

@PulatYunusov Canada's lack of competitiveness or productivity (as frequently showcased by the @SCJOntario_en and our endless government sector) will lead our dollar to fall all on its own. A rapid 20% depreciation will certainly make US goods pricier for Canadian consumers
