I think that the vast majorly of us are all for this. I can’t wait to hear how they’re going to build the 3,500 km of wall that are under water. I assume they will just build the wall on the waterfront on their side of the Great Lakes?

This would solve the pornlemmy of what to do when the christofascist dictatorship finally takes hold, down there. I’m very concerned that 30 million refugees are going to head north across the border. They really should head south since there is no way that we can house them here over winter and millions of them will starve and freeze to death.

Sounds like a dream come true… for Canada.

Can we trade Alberta for California?

Tbh at this point I might be ok with just having our own lil west coast party and saying goodbye to everyone else.

Of course the wall has the added benefit that we can load the maple MAGA crowd onto busses, take them to the wall, and hurl them over to MAGAland.

He thinks that fentanyl is coming in across the border from Canada as opposed to from China through their ports and airports because of their shitty inspection service.

Why stop at a wall? Put a big rainbow tent over the whole country and charge admission!

America is huge, though.

Think of the profit to be made for charging admission! It would more than make up for that enormous tent!

Maybe that could slow the number of guns that are smuggled into Canada.

Could this wall also keep the MAGAts and their bullshit ideology out of Canada?

Not sure how a wall would help when the vast majority of guns are smuggled into Ontario.

Yes please. Anything that would help distance Americans from us.

The folks that live in Point Roberts, Washington will love this…

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Republican lawmakers have been complaining more frequently about the northern border in the context of unauthorized migration, but the numbers remain a tiny portion of the U.S. total.

For simply musing idly about the possibility of a Canada wall, Scott Walker drew merciless ridicule in the 2016 campaign.

Gary Doer wondered how Walker, the governor of a Great Lakes state, Wisconsin, no doubt aware of that body of water, intended to build a wall across the monumental natural boundary.

The New York Times obituary for his failed campaign said his string of gaffes had unnerved supporters, and it specifically cited the Canadian wall comment.

With just a year to the election, Ramaswamy’s campaign has already lasted longer than Walker’s and is in fourth place in hypothetical national primary polls.

He remains a distant longshot, however, languishing approximately 54 percentage points behind Donald Trump, the Republican frontrunner, who skipped Wednesday’s debate.


The original article contains 495 words, the summary contains 143 words. Saved 71%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

are we gonna build it outta snow?

The Canada–United States border (French: Frontière entre le Canada et les États-Unis) is the longest international border in the world. The terrestrial boundary (including boundaries in the Great Lakes, Atlantic, and Pacific coasts) is 8,891 km (5,525 mi) long. (Wikipedia)

The US built 84km of border barriers in 4 years under Trump. So this could take a while.

On the whole, I think most Canadians would be preeeety okay with this idea

lol … we in Canada actually think that’s a good idea

Especially when you think about global warming and climate change. One of the big changes they are forecasting with the future of climate change is mass migration. As the lower states get too hot and unlivable, all those people will want to migrate north. It might not happen in our lifetime but within a hundred years, more people from down there will want to move up north of the border.
