‍Mark, I am here. I read the posts. I do not waste my time arguing and throwing stones. I sent Shula a Facebook PM.

I didn't realize I had been gone so long.  Thanks for coming after me, Teresa.  These guys will rat me out every time!

You've heard of the three Musketeers? Well we're the four headbangers.

There are only two Musketeers here, Mark and myself. The other two are more like Siegfried and Roy.

Hey Pete, the stock market is rocketing up after the crash yesterday when Pelosi got the gavel. Shall we give Trump the credit?

Nothing to do with Pelosi, try the Apple stocks drop and the company blamed Trumps trade deals with China being 50% of their business. Todays rally was after the news of more jobs and better wages.

Hope everyone had a Happy New Year.

It was either rice or cars and the Chinese picked rice, so what does that tell you aboat the cars you make??

They also make up 50% of Apple sales.

It seems then that you have sloppy security again at your American companies. No different I guess that you had while building your atom bombs when Russia took all your securites from the inside. It's a dog eat dog world we seem to live in. Nothing changes.

Any thing Trump writes would be put on the fiction shelve here Littlemissmissing. He would be better off writing one on the 6000+ lies he has told his small naive followers who swallow everything hook line and sinker. What party are you going to join once the Republicans bury themselves on the White House lawn. Probably be a Warren supporter, right? lol

You can laugh if I'm wrong in two years, but at this point I sincerely hope Warren is the best the democrats have to offer.  So far I think the democrats have about 20+ candidates for the nomination.

Lets hope that she isn't. lol The Demo's will make the same mistake that the Republican made. Too many candidates to choose from and the vote ends up getting split too much. Right now Trump seems to be on a suicide mission over this wall. Besides the farmers, he now has roughly a million government workers up set over his self induced shut down. 

I don't think the pain of it has really been felt enough yet. It will soon be the longest shut down in American history.

They are saying that a lot of the new jobs open now are in healthcare fields.

You both Shula and the Major are spreading false news by saying that the Democrates don't want border security when they do. They can't agree that a wall is going to end all your security problems like Trump is preaching that it will though. Even the security experts don't agree with Trump on the wall. Trump is only trying to satisfy his shrinking base supporters.

As for all your bad guys heading up to the promised land for cover. We have an extradiction treaty with the States and when they surface up here they will be send back to the States. The only ones that we won't ship back are ones facing the death penalty in one of your States that still allows it. During the Vietnam War we did allow draft dodgers to stay because we felt it was an unjust war of your own making and the country of the United States wasn't in direct attack from another country. You will remember when American soldiers tried it again after they had on their own accord volenteered to serve in your military they were sent back.

Tomorrow Trump will visit the southern border and he will probably have pro-wall supports with him to push his point. All hog wash of course. I made a mistake about the number of lies Trump has told the American people. I said over 6 thousand when it's really over 7000. All have been fact checked and all are still lies.

You already have a wall Shula and it does need repair in places but to build a wall from coast to coast is not just a few billions but more like hundreds of billions and many places cross mountains and lakes etc. , so would be impossibie to construct. It's your border crossing that need the first ungrade, that and your postal service.

I'm glad to hear that Trump has switched from wanting a cement wall to one made from steel. America at the moment doesn't produce enough steel to handle the job so will have to buy ours at a higher price because Trump put tarriffs on it. As you know any tarriff you put on us we in turn just raise the price and pass the cost on to the American consumer. In resent polls only 39%of Americans want a wall built while 61% say they just want security up graded along the border. Even the Governor of Texas is saying no wall. Trump has to start learning he just isn't President to his small base but President to all.

How about a complete dome Shula. Wouldn't that be better to cover America with that just an old steel wall around it. Then at lease you would be able to see out.

What you should be worrying about more is how America is destroying the world's air and with carbon emissions causing not just local but global warming. A dome would also keep all that bad air in and save the rest of us.

You think that you are proccessing things at the border fast to allow refugee claimant in but your not. You take away funding from the poor countries to your south and in turn the caravans start showing up looking for a better life. America is becoming it's own worst enemy.

It's obvious that you haven't taken a drive in awhile up that eastern shore line of Lake Huron and seen the thousands of meg wind turbines erected there now. I checked your Trump facts and we are at #10 not #4. Here is the list in order for the top 10.

China, USA, India, Russia, Japan, Germany, Iran, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, and Canada. The only reason Britain isn't on the list is it's hard to get a proper reading in a place where it's either raining or covered in fog all the time.

Talk about ICI, a rep was on TV has night and and also said a wall isn't the answer. He said the same thing I have suggested, fixing of the existing fencing where necessary, giving the border security better man power and modern equipment and up grading the postal service.

He also said the drug problem is at under manned border crossing, shipping entry ports and Postal services.

ICI was also in place during Obamas terms.

Our far north is covered is muskeg and usually frozen and covered in snow. Now it's not anymore with the world warming. Muskeg is acidic soil made up of rotted plant materials. When it is exposed it warms up and starts the rotting all over again which releases methane gases to the air. You have heard of swamp gas, well this much the same but on a much larger scale. This problem is reconized by top scientists but not by the average Joe.

Canada’s 347 million hectares (ha) of forest make up 9% of the world’s forests. Twenty-four percent of the world’s boreal forests are found within Canada’s borders. Much of Canada’s forest land is in remote, sparsely populated areas and is not under the same pressure to be cleared for agriculture or urban development as forests in many other countries. Canada has nearly 10 ha of forest land per person, more than 17 times the world average. Trees are good and filter the bad stuff out of the air but on the other hand when forests go dry with lack of rain then the fires start and the air quality suffers.

If we switched to puddle jumper car like you all drive we would be scared to drive to the supermarket far less across the whole country.

Electric cars would be nice if they could go further that to the corner store, but so far to drive one here the only place really to recharge it is at home. The country is far to large to put enough charging stations from coast to coast. Semi trucks are a problem for me since we stopped shipping most things by rail. The 401 which I'm sure you have been on is now considered the busiest highway in North America. Think of the polution that it causes each day with it's bumper to bumper traffic. A lot of people here travel over a hundred kms one way just to get to work. We just can't walk to work like you can on the Island.

Yes, and I like it 100% better than my 09 I had. The 09's major and pretty well only problems was with the braking system. The disc brake caliper sliders were the problem and would stick. This one pretty well has everything extra and I'm surprised how much of it I actually use. I think the 09 had a 3.3 engine and they not come standard with a 3.6. I like it for Sunday drives and the longer ones also. I would buy another one. This one is a 2016 and I have 51,600 km's on it. Almost half of that would be highway driving or trips. 51,600 is roughly 32,000 mi.
