  • The amount of times myself or someone i know has called them, only for them to say “not much we can do, just file a report online”

    Exactly how high do you want your taxes to go? Complete coverage for all o the calls would be prohibitively expensive, and I suspect you would be one of the first people to protest your high taxes.

  • "Open season' has a tendency to develop into open warfare against anyone you do not like. Unrestricted 'self defense' is wide open to abuse, like it is in America.

  • I am SO glad you do not rule our country.

    It is only a very small step from what you said to the male head of the household having the right of life or death over the wife or female children. The right to do whatever he pleases with the wife and children. The right to be as racially prejudiced and the right to do whatever he pleases to any non-white male, because of course all he has to say is 'they were an intruder'.

  • There is a very big difference between 'defending yourself' and 'deciding to take the law into your own hand and dishing out your own brand of justice and punishment'.

    Doing the first is your right, doing the second is vigilante justice and almost always turns the country into 'rule by organized crime'. Mexico is a good example of what happens when the 'right to defend' leads to 'the right to impose your will regardless of the law'.

  • Then I wonder, can you imagine living in Canada? You know, that land where the Rule of Law is still important. That land that defines when 'self-defense' turns into 'assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill'. No matter what Ford says, he is provincial and has no authority nor say over the Criminal Code, which is prosecuted by Federal, not Provincial, prosecutors. Ford would get charged if he crosses that line, just like any other person in Canada. And he could go to jail if convicted, just like any other person in Canada.

  • Considering that it has been less than 100 years that America has been considered our ally (the entire purpose of Confederation in 1867 was to form a strong Canada that could defend itself against the American foe), the needle has been pointing to 'enemy' longer than it has been pointing to 'ally'. History will regard the 'friend' part as just a brief interlude.

    I am afraid Americans in general do not look at Canadians as 'friends', they look at us as 'customers'.

  • You have an interesting version and concept of history and current events. Even if the Dems win the house, and even if they win the next Presidential election, nothing will change about the US because there is nothing any President can do to save it. The problems America has are systemic and ingrained in the economy. Trump is just the poster boy, bringing them out to the attention of the world. America has gone from America 80% world GDP to less than 20% world GDP in two decades. That will never be undone by ANY future President.

    South Korea is actually taking over the role of America as the world's arms manufacturer, (heading for fourth place) and that will not change no matter what happens in the US politically. As the world shies away from American arms, South Korea is determined to pick up the slack. Once they get market share, they will not lose it. They have the industrial capacity to beat out anyone, even the US.

  • They do not intend to use it. Just the knowledge that they have it and CAN use it is causing the US to back off against warmongering rhetoric against China. However, it is China that is developing the stable allies because of their military might, and America that is losing stable allies because it is becoming militarily impotent. America did not have the resources to defend even the Ukraine, so no country is now relying on the US to even defend America against another major military.

  • You are thinking like an American, not a Chinese. Their 'strong message' was to build a larger navy than America has, develop nuclear ballistic missiles that will reach America, and develop 6th gen bombers.

  • Whatever the West destroys, China can rebuild in a few years. When Tesla wanted to build cars in China, it took the Chinese exactly one year from no plans and raw ground to the first car coming off the line. China may be selfish, but that selfishness is enshrined in 'efficient'. China is well aware of the level of destruction in these countries, and is not ignoring it. Read my link. The evidence is clear and unambiguous.

    China is NOT afraid to send America a very strong message. The two Michaels? Sure they were Canadian, but both had very strong ties to America. One set up the Republican connections with North Korea (Rodman's visit with Kim), the other carried out (Democrat) George Soros' plans through the International Crisis Group. Covered both American political parties, so it did not matter what President was in office. Chinese saying: kill the monkey, scare the dragon. Another Chinese saying: Kill with a borrowed knife.

  • Unfortunately for your position China has the resources and the wealth to build faster than America can destroy it. Look at what China has accomplished in their own country in just the last two decades. Whatever America destroys, China can rebuild ten times over. That is what the 'other countries' are beginning to realize, and why they are not really afraid of Trump. What China wants to do in the rest of the world is to raise the world standard of living in order to produce a larger market for Chinese exports. Yes, that is 'selfish', but yes, that is beneficial to the other countries. America wanted to keep the other countries impoverished, and to make really cheap goods for the American market. That is 'selfish', but also self-destructive. They now realize they have no export market, they do not make anything to export, now that the rest of the world has the money to buy stuff.

    The Chinese make stuff, and also have the entire African market to export it to.
