Occupy Democrats: Canadadian MP Turns The Table On Trump With Funny But Brutal Offer



The Canadian Parliament just turned the tables on Donald Trump with a devastating — and perfect — offer that strikes at the heart of Trump’s shameless threat. Well done, Canada!



First, MP Elizabeth May performs a 4th grade civics lesson for Trump, then she introduces an offer for American states.

Please take us. I wouldn't have to move or pack, and we would end up with universal health care. What a hell of a deal.

One other benefit is that the next time someone approaches me when I'm on the shores of Lake Superior, they will point to the distant north and ask if that is Canada. I can answer hell yes; in fact, you are standing on the southern Canadian shores of Lake Superior.

States like Wisconsin and Michigan, who voted for Trump, will have to stay with us in OH in the country of Trumpistan.

We have THE CITY, apples and cows. Unfortunately and a lot of MAGAS as well. But we can offer them the chance to move. IN FACT we can subsidize them to leave!

They have a the right to choose. they get to choose between possibly a new species
among their species, an actual intelligent civilized human being or move to a red state
a remain a being because in my opinion those three adjectives do not apply to them.
I mean really Murica, love it or leave. If it happened, can I immigrate to your state or
will you let me tag-al-long. Here in the state of stupid I firmly believe if we had a contest
on whom is #1 in the battle of stupid we would win pretty easily. Guess we will just have
to wait and see. Have a great day.

we have a governor whom I do not trust and the NYC mayor is beginning to look like he is about to flip to the dark side... THAT could be really bad news...

Let alone Canada's. I'm glad the rest of the world will treat him like the imbecile that he is. The sad part is that most Americans are just as ignorant as Trump when it comes to US civics. Which is why we are where we are.

But, while I agree that a lot of people are not educated on Government, that's why we allegedly elect those who are. I don't blame anyone for not knowing how Canada works, although I expect a President to be knowledgeable. He is such an embarrassment.

The only reason I know anything about Canada's health system is that I know someone in England who is being saved by their NHS. Trump wants to trash Obamacare, while he still doesn't have any replacement system to rely on. As far as I know, he doesn't even have a concept of a new healthcare system. He just wants to get rid of something a Black Pres did, I guess to get even with him for a slight joke he made about Trump.

We need some kind of supplemental system. But, now we have Dr. Oz coming in, who doesn't believe poor people should receive care. A brutal reality.

Especially given that they don't know jack shit about how their own government is supposed to function. But, the holders of the highest offices in our country SHOULD know how their neighbors' governments function. What disgusts me is that so many people are fine with an ignorant dumbass running our government.
