Yes. Extra popcorn, Ice and supply of snacks and Coca Cola.. Fresh batteries in the remote and recliner set up all cozy.. This is going to be a hoot for anyone living far enough away.. Fertilizer and oscillator both already in motion and he isnt even in the office yet..😷

Question: In theory, if Trump annexed Canada, would Canada's taxation become lower than it currently is, or higher? Trump said annexing Canada would 'lower' Canadian taxes.

@swirlie Interesting point. I dont have the facts in front of me. But considering they would lose Universal Health cover and prescription subsidies it really should be lower..😷
@whowasthatmaskedman
I was thinking that Canadian taxation would theoretically remain the same, status quo, if not rise slightly from what it already is.

The reason I think this is because the US taxation rate is already way too low as it is, which is part of the reason they're $36Trillion in debt.

One of the magical delusions that Americans live under is the notion of them living in the land of milk and honey where taxes are low and there's a Chevrolet in every American driveway.

The government artificially kept the taxes low for the last 60 years I think, to help perpetuate that delusional perception for Americans, but now the chickens are coming home to roost as those unpaid taxes are finally beginning to rear their ugly head as the next debt ceiling deadline looms on the horizon.

@swirlie What you say is correct.. But they cant leave the Canadian benefits in place or Americans would be across the border in droves to get them. But as a hypothetical its necessary to look at the mechanism.. Its common for an invader to pillage an nation it invades..So all the oil, timber and Maple Syrup would flow south with no payment. This muddies the whole issue..😷
@whowasthatmaskedman
I already know that as Canadians, we'd let the oil and timber go, but a line in the sand would be crossed if they screwed with our Maple Syrup, that's all I know for sure.

@swirlie I am holding out for the Mc Poutine..😷
@whowasthatmaskedman
Oh my god, have you ever had poutine before? I mean the French-Canadian style?
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@swirlie Nope.. But it soundy iffy... Like haggis but not...😷
@whowasthatmaskedman
What French-Canadian poutine is, is a bowl of deep-fried french fries covered with brown gravy that contains 40% salt, and processed cheese curds which has about a handful of cheese curds, but which are not really fine cheddar curds which is what they look like, but instead are Kraft processed cheese chunks that are pre-packaged in Montreal and sold as mock cheddar because they hold their shape when cut into small cubes.

Once that steaming melted concoction is at the correct consistency in the pot, it is then poured over those french fries which are contained in a hand-held cardboard eating bowl which one then eats using one's fingers because forks ruin everything. If that doesn't put your cholesterol reading into the red band, then you're already dead.

@swirlie You lost me at 40% salt. And anything Kraft for good measure..I suggest we offer trump the first dozen McPoutine burgers...😷
