What is the best Canadian response?

Trump wants to prevent aliens from entering America from the north while doing nothing about aliens entering Canada from the south (this expected to dramatically increase under his intolerant leadership). Because Americans have ten times the population of Canada I think Canada should offer to post one extra border guard for every ten America does. This seems fair to me.

@Pretzel Sounds costly. A million squirt guns filled with pee would be more effective.

What is perversely funny is most "American" cars and buses are made in Canada

What a joke.

Prove it commie boy
@Thrust Not my problem you have no idea how your economy works. I get that failing high school is a badge of honour on the right and all.
Until there are universal rights for everyone and everyone is welcome everywhere you understand that's injustice. You prefer disgusting wars and border walls.

@Roundandroundwego Everyone welcome everywhere is a lofty goal.
@LetsDance it's basic human decency and international law since 1948.

Rich US Democrats escaping the US to the north will likely be welcomed with open arms by Canada. Not very rich Democrats can expect a bit of resistance.

Meanwhile, us non-Democrat Americans will cheer their exit and thank our Canadian neighbors to process them ASAP. Oh, and please don’t tell them about how a long stay in Canada may affect their US Social Security and Medicare accounts.

@Heartlander Canada’s healthcare system in particular and social safety net in general are superior to America’s. Any American lucky enough to move to Canada won’t miss Social Security or Medicare. The same obviously would not apply to any red states seeking to secede and reform the Old Confederacy, as was discussed when Biden became president.
Heartlander · 80-89, M
@JPWhoo If they move to canada and not return, they may forfeit all their contributions to SS and MC. If they do return to the states the years they were contributing to the Canadian systems is lost, and the missing years can have a big effect on their US retirement entitlements. There is even a possible scenario, though rare, where someone may contribute to both US and Canada systems and not qualify for either.

Comparing the two systems, just on pension plans ...

Average CPP (Canada) retirement benefit = $816/month, maximum $1,364 per month
Average SS (US) retirement. benefit = $1,784/month, maximum $4,873/month

Personally,I'd prefer to get $1,784 a month rather than $816 a month, regardless of whether it's in Canadian or US dollars :)

Totally fair...and equitable.
No, not aliens. Illegal aliens. Those who enter the US the legal way have nothing to worry about. And I think Canada should have strict regulations as to who enter the country, as well.
Trudeau when to see Trump, and he did. Perhaps something has been or will be agreed to on the issue. It’s a problem plaguing both nations and laws on both sides need de evaluating.
