    Bring two of your neighbor territories with you. I like this Alberta Premier, Danielle Smith. She's the Canadian version of MAGA. I like her more than Doug Ford, Ontario's Premier.

    This is how left Canada is. At last check Canada’s most conservative Province, Alberta, has higher taxes than California.

    And not a single resident of Alberta is paying over five figures annually for a health insurance.

    The sad thing is that if Canadans were forced to zero out their tariffs and other trade obsticles with the U.S. they would have a hard time funding their socialist programs like "free" healthcare.

    You even ankle-bite me on things we agree with. You’re like my little pug puppy.

    Besides, don’t higher taxes and free healthcare buttress my point about Canada’s leftward cant extending even to its most conservative regions ?

    But must ankle-bite.
