Canada has closed its borders to Americans. You can't cross the Ambassador Bridge, the Detroit/Windsor Tunnel, or any other international crossing point, unless it's considered 'essential transportation.'


That was the point.
We're sick. They don't want us. Neither does Europe.
We're now officially a "s#hole country." The irony is too rich to eat all at once.

I didn't need an 'education' to know current events. Knowing a bit of Canadian immigration law didn't hurt either (I'd researched this years ago when Toronto was holding auditions). I also owned property in Canada years ago.

Sometimes, a simple point gets missed.
I'll try to be more direct next time.

Canadians only take those who can immediately contribute and secure a high needs job. Lots of people in United States don't qualify.

So, they'll take the Portland protestors, the gang-bangers across the country, and members of BLM and the KKK?

I hope so, but I kinda doubt it.

Why do you doubt that those protesters are actually hard working good Americans? Because they are black or dressed in black? Show any evidence the BLM or ANTIFA supported/encouraged the riots and vandalism... I think this statement you made as a retired educator is simply awful. Once a POC labeled kid always a POC labeled kid. Hmm, I don't think so.

I would only go if the country went to total crap.

But Toronto is a quick flight away from family in Cle and Ny.

Closer than in Ga.

I really didnt want to deal with the winters any longer.
But who knows what the future holds.

We're not going to agree on this one, bro. That's cool w/me. You can express your opinion and I won't get on you. But, how about you let me express my opinions, too?

No, I apologize that I didn't make myself clear. You saying that you don't start fires a 3 am never happened, you hating on these protests kids again and again has happened. It's not what you said that disgust me, it's you that disgust me.

Colorism... for me I really hate the red orange and orange red crayons. For some reason seeing that color makes me want to vomit. I dunno why, but my wife always gives me crap every time I see a Jeep of that color.

If using methods to lighten skin is viewed as attempting to obtain a "desirable trait", does that mean a female to male trans person is attempting to benefit by joining the patriarchal hierarchy?

No? It means the individual wishes to fully experience their actual identity. This may be a hard concept for you to grasp, but no one transitions to experience "benefits". People just wish to live the life they feel they are born as.

I hoped you were above trans bigotry, but I guess you aren't.

Strange. A lot of Americans want that to be the same criteria for accepting immigrants to the US, and people call that "racist".

Which brings me back to the point I was trying to make...why can't a white person transition to a black person, or vice versa, if that's what they identify as?

How is birth gender any less of a person's identity than their birth race?

It's 2020; if we can transition a male into a female, we also have the means to transition from one race to another.

Because our system has always been based around the American dream, which is starting from the bottom and working up.

In theory, anyway.

So I don’t want our system to change like Canada’s or Europe. And half of y’all reasons are rooted in racism so yea big middle finger salute to you, homie.

One is doing it for their local societal structure.

The other is changing based on factors that doesn’t deal with local social structure, but far more individual reasoning.

So I don’t view those two issues relatable at all.

You sound like the typical Trumpian who blends the protestors in with those who riot. You have become a mockery of yourself.

And there it is again. The assumption that racism rules our lives. Do you really believe that white people get up every day plotting to ruin a non-white persons day? It sounds to me that you hate white people, as you blame us for all your problems.

This is a country that corrected slavery, corrected civil rights, corrected rights for homosexuals. We even had a black president elected less than 60 years after blacks were given the right to vote.

Here's a little secret I think you have yet to grasp. Most of us aren't racist, no matter how many times people insist we are. Most of us are too busy dealing with our own problems to deal with yours. Btw, by me saying "us", I mean all those of us that get accused of being racist. No color involved. I personally pick people I associate with by how they act, not by their color. I honestly don't have time in my busy day to actively sabotage yours. My advice is that you take that middle finger of yours and put it to good use bettering yourself,

Spoiler: We all have implicit bias.

Then again, I'm expecting someone who believes in "Sharia no-go zones" and refuses to understand the Dixiecrat and Southern strategy to wrap their head around implicit bias.

Do you know how many articles/videos there are of blacks/Dems attacking whites/Trump supporters?

Of course you do.

But, you post crap like that and never post the ones from the other side.

That is the very definition of bias. Shame on you and those of you who repeatedly pollute this forum w/your one-sided "reporting" of the news.

We could trade articles/videos all day and all it would show is how ugly so many folks are on both sides. But, it seems like your side indulges into these tactics far more than the other side does.

In my mind, that only makes you guys look bad.


Not really. It proves self proclaimed white supremacists who are trump supporters are violent raging lunatics.

My but you need to read some history and do some studying. Maybe you should use something other than democrat talking points. Try this on for size. If the repubs decided overnight to become the oppressors of black people, why did it take them 40 years to finally win all the south in an election, while the dems kept happily denying black people their rights and erecting confederate statues?

As for your insistence on no go zones, so far, the governments in germany, france, sweden, and Brussels have admitted they exist. The UK government has not. Plenty of their citizens claim they do.
