Neil Young just can't help himself. 50 years later, he's still commenting on something he knows nothing about.

What was he correct about? All I heard was clueless Canadian blather about American events and society that he was 2,000 miles away from and had no business commenting on.

But that is the Canadian schtick to kibitz endlessly about what America is or has done wrong while their country literally stands for nothing does nothing.

Worse yet we have an election coming up and it looks like the brainwashed mindless masses will vote to keep this mindless woke horseshit going. If that happens I fear my country will cease to exist. Trudeau, Carney. Freeland and the rest are all WEF stooges dedicated to destroying our heritage.

We can make our own maple syrup. Other than that, what does Canada have that we want or need?

I make Maple syrup every year here in the Berkshires. Sugar maples abound. The beautiful Berkshires. An hour from the oceans and an hour from the snow-massed hills of the Greens. I head to Buzzards every spring and fall. The Pioneer valley. It's beautiful. Too bad about Eastern MA. Bluetards. Up in he hills of western MA it is still the 1800.s. if you stay away from the easterners.

It is beautiful. Too bad it's in Massachusetts. Way out on the Cape is nice too, once you get past Dennis. But, again, its still in Massachusetts. No group of white people, anywhere on earth, is more horrible and irredeemable than Bostonians. A truly evil and horrible people.

LOL! They love to move "down south" and explain our culture to us, though a few are truly great people who dig authenticity. I like Jonathan Richman's music (a Bostonian, I think). Otherwise, just thinking "Boston" gives me the creeps. Stupid music combo, too, though, apparently, Scholz was a super engineer.

My buddy from Georgia calls them "half-backers." They move to Florida, but its too hot and there are too many bugs, so they move halfway back and end up in North Carolina or Tennessee.

A friend of mine taps maple trees at her family's woods around the Mt. Pleasant area in Michigan and makes a few small batches of maple syrup every year. She's hoping to fit in one more boil this season. The syrup is exquisite, like nothing I've ever tasted before. I take it straight off the spoon, it's too good to waste putting it on something.

I haven't been to Canada in several years and I might never go again. Any fucking third-world primitive can waltz right in, but I have to bring nine forms of ID and go through an interrogation to get into Canada. Fuck you.

And my wife who happens like me to be white gets pulled out of a line at the airport and put through a security check. We are rapidly becoming a minority in the country our ancestors built.

Absolutely.

The airport is security theater. It's an elaborate production that has nothing to do with keeping people safe. My wife and I got into an argument with an illiterate, unintelligible Indian and a sassy, low-IQ Puerto Rican bitch at the airport in Toronto once. They left us to stand in limbo between passport checkpoints for an hour, almost missing our flight. I had to hold my wife back from punching Jenny from the Block in the face.

They continually and incessantly provoked us right in front of a cop, hoping we would do something. I had a gate agent from another airline come up to me and tell me how ridiculous and unprofessional they were. White guy, obviously.

Soon after they passed the patriot act I was flying out of Las Vegas when I watched a TSA agent female white nasty looking all of 5'0" by 5' wide harass a teenage girl for not taking her laptop out and turning it on.

To the point she had the girl in tears.

I calmly pointed out if she quit yelling at the young lady she might not be so nervous.

She coldy said "Are you interfering with me in the performance of my job duties".

My response your job is not to humiliate and terrify teen age girls I then asked for her supervisor and said I am not a teenage girl to her.

I reported her behavior and went on my merry way.

My connecting flight from Los Angeles to San Diego experienced a bag check on every passenger flying on the same flight as me and the flight was delayed because of it.

That will teach me to open my yap and defend the innocent.

I would do it again and if it happened now, I would ask for the next tier supervisor.

On that we are no different.

Under Biden I had to walk by hundreds of illegal aliens camped out at our airports and show ID all over but they walked them through with zero ID onto special flights.

We were on a bus trip to the F1 race in Montreal a few years . One guy on the bus had a dui arrest 5 years previously. Dudley Doorights made a big deal out of it and almost turned around 40 people who would have spent thousands in the country.The Canuck Border Police boss finally acquiesced, saw the folly of their ways, grew some balls and a brain,saw how stupid they were acting and allowed us in to enjoy the cars and strip clubs of the 51st state

Yeah, so the law is that they won't let anyone in who has a felony. DUI is felony in Canada, but not here, but they won't let us in because it is their idea that our misdemeanor class is wrong. I've known many people barred from CAN because of this.

I was a tour director that led tours from Boston to the Canadian Maritimes. The fascist Canadian border patrol turned away many people on tours who didnтАЩt know a DUI twenty years ago was a big deal for the Canucks. One time, a guy they kicked off our tour stayed at a border hotel and let his wife continue the tour. We picked him up on the way back.

I finally refused to do Canadian tours. I couldnтАЩt deal with the pricks at the border anymore. There were times theyтАЩd bring German shepherds on board to scan the bus, scaring the shit out of everyone. Or theyтАЩd make us all get off the bus so they could climb aboard and go through everyoneтАЩs bags and luggage. These tours were mostly seniorsтАФgreat people who wanted to travel a little after retirement. They so obviously posed no threat to Canada. One time, they made us take out every single suitcase from below the busтАФmore than 40, so they could riffle through them with their dogs. It took hours, but they seemed to delight in it all.

The DeepState uses Canada to introduce new control measures to see how they fly. Euthanasia and border fascism are two examples.

Canada has sat on the northern border since there was a northern border. Poor management with the USMCA and NAFTA before it has allowed Canada to run a positive trade allowance with us to the point it is now noticeable and objectionable. Those days are over. The rip the USA off world economics are gone.

A good question here. Why do tariffs exist? What would happen is some global leader said тАЬNo MasтАЭ, no more tariffs?

I watched a report last night about countries starting to limit American immigration more and more. Canada was number one, others were Mexico, China, Russia and Japan. In between the lines, it was obvious that they are limiting immigration for the same reasons we are in the USA, to stop the erosion of the common cultures and the labor pools. The world is going isolationist and nationalistic as each country is trying to preserve their piece of the pie. Globalism is dying, survival in the future is going to depend on how well countries can corner resource markets. It will get violent too, as nations start to run out of resources.

The Ten Kingdoms that some talk about, may become the future.

We need to limit internal immigration. Every state needs to develop an immigration policy and a trade policy that applies to other states.

JohnAZ's avatar

Interesting. Definitely a strike for StateтАЩs Rights. How would it work, who would be limited and what goods and services would be limited?

Right now, the Congress, per the Constitution, sec 1, has the power to impose tariffs and regulate immigration. As the Congress is worthless for the last 70 years, both powers have been passed to the President by Congressional action. So now the battle rises again.

BTW, the Constitution actually says that these powers are the Central GovernmentтАЩs, and states are not allowed.

Pete way to many Canadians have very shitty attitudes towards Americans and the Government.

It takes a lot to get some of them to admit it as they like to "act" nice and pretend they don't have horrible biases.

I have seen in the last forty years some pretty good back and forth arguments online and actual fist fights at old school big lan parties specifically back when Quake 2 was huge.

The truth is there is very little different than us as far as people go. If anything the Americans I have met exploring the backwoods up here are friendlier than a lot of our own people. How stupid is it to fight with someone who has the same hopes and dreams as we do? I believe we were all put here to try and help one another. If we all took this attitude we would have a much better world. Years ago I met some Russian sailors in Vancouver. They too were a very friendly decent bunch. The point is a country's politics have very little to do with people. Screw the politics and enjoy people's company when you get the opportunity.

These people may be well known but that doesn't mean they are any smarter than anyone else, in fact, most of them probably have lower intelligence levels than an average person.

Celebrities like Young, DiCaprio and Fonda to name a few are nothing more than useful idiots who stick their noses in where they don't belong. Fonda was running around protesting the seal harvest here and in Europe. What I found funny was when a few years later an outbreak of canine distemper wiped out over 80% of the Harp seal population on the European coast. These animals suffered horrendous deaths due to overpopulating their environment. A lot fewer would have died from harvests that kept their numbers in check. DiCaprio runs around in his private jet telling us we are polluters. What a shining example of hypocrisy! Young is just another narcissistic asshole of the same bent. Maybe they would be better off if they learned to keep their mouths shut about what they know nothing about.

Those of us who aren't brainwashed don't go or support them. This is why it's so important for us to go out in public and speak to people. They don't read alternative news. In fact most are unaware of it. Only by speaking with people and giving them the information to check out these sites can we begin to awaken them.

Great point. I try to share these sites with people but, amazingly, they are not interested. I have a good friend who admits that he doesn't know much of the political situation. When I try to refer him to various alternative sites he always responds that he just doesn't have the patience to deal with it. Frustrating.

What's more frustrating are the ones who tell me that it doesn't matter what I can say or show them they're not going to change their minds anyway. Or, worse yet, I've always voted this way and I'm not going to change. Talk about being fully indoctrinated.
