Yes, but the USA is a real country, and what happens in the USA has real consequences - especially for Canadians.

Canadian elections, governments, and 'democracy" is more akin to say, student council - they have a say into what band will be playing at the dance on Friday night, or what what order the cheer will be at a high school athletic event, but bot much more beyond that...and certainly no influence beyond the school grounds.

Trump sneezes,  400+ posts.

Trudeau says income taxes will immediately double? - 35-40 posts..

Anbang was scared out of Kushner/NY, yet allowed to buy in BC. Totally corrupt.
