    Now that you have a new leader, maybe a good sweep of the country might be in order. Is America able to stand alone in the world, piss off all its foreign aid and helping prop up other countries, tell the rest of the world to piss of and start looking after itself. Put a stop being flooded with cheap imports and try getting its manufacturing going again, this is the only chance of breaking the downhill spiral that has been going on for years. If it doesn't happen now then it will never happen and eventually America will fail as an economic power. Good luck America

    I agree we need to return to manufacturing and so with the incessant wars. Reinvest the billions we're sending overseas. America needs to produce, not simply consume.

    Yeah thanks we will need it, capitalism has prevented many useful designs from being produced instead much less useful things are pushed based solely on its ability to drain the pockets of the majority of society.
    Healthcare is so screwed up and dirty you with likely find your local mechanic more trustworthy and giving better service than the parma companies and doctors. Here whether you live or die is determined by the size of your pocketbook and insurance policy
    The same life saving medicines and treatments are given freely in some third world countries. If US medicine were to market cures, they might loose money versus leaving it's victims sick while charging out the nose to treat their symptoms. "God bless America land of greed and money"
    A single man can easily move up while spending his money supporting prostitution and drug cartels, a man with children will work twice as hard, for comparable pennies to support his children.
    I could rant forever but at end of the day most people can't see it and won't believe it , and they will be rewarded with a promotion for their blind eye and/or ignorance to what's going on around them.

    Selective quoting but.
    I agree with most except for the first line. There is nothing given freely. There is always a cost. It may not be the end user paying for it but guess what, the company makes money from it so guess who is paying.

    Be interesting to see how the UK goes as well, they have had their country well and truly screwed over since the days of Churchill, and getting out of the EU hopefully will help the UK grow again, have to stop propping up under performing countries and start and look after your own

    I think a lot of folks in UK might well be against growth in some areas. There could even be some exporting of same to OZ. Plenty of room there eh? The donald might even come up with a similar plan.

    Canada is not being screwed over by the immigrants. We are being screwed over by our fucking bleeding heart weak kneed liberal Prime Minister. We need immigration here. But we need the right kind. I am not placing racial bars on this. But we need immigrants who will come here and work hard, produce for our economy and adapt to our way of life here. Not try to change it to theirs. There is nothing wrong with maintaining your religious beliefs so long as the conform with out laws. But don't try to change our society. It will gradually change on its own if that is what the majority of society wishes.

    BTW. Bring your money. Build a business here and employ Canadians.

    Patience there dude.. Give it a month or two and there will be more Rustbelt Republicans moving to the Provinces than you can shake an antler at. They won't have any money, so don't count on that part. Trump and his crew will make sure of that by creating an exit tax.

    When the US dollar is worth $.32 more than the Australian dollar, I would say you have your own set of problems to worry about.

    Norcalboy you are not telling us a bloody thing we don't know already, letting in all this useless flotsam and jetsom from Africa means we are trully fucked. We let them in here, they are put straight on the dole,given housing, will never ever work, and now every day these shitheads are doing home invasions,bashings, stealing the car keys from the house while the owners are in bed and the majority of these scumbags are 13/17 years old, then when caught immediately set free because they have come from a disadvantaged background. And believe it or not the next day they are back doing the same again. Yes Australia is fucked, we have no manufacturing here either now but maybe Trumpy can do something about your situation, because I can assure you our PM aint going to do much for us

    You obviously understand part of why we have a new president with new ideas. America has a good LEGAL immigration system that can lead to LEGAL citizenship. Fuck people that come here illegally, don't assimilate, and steal from me and the other legal, moral Americans without a felony record. Coming here illegally is a crime. The penalties for this crime haven't been enforced.....lately. The good news for some Americans is something called "The Castle Law". Violate my castle and I can kill you, legally. I think I'll go ride my VFR, which is also part of my castle.

    Sadly, the UK & Aus have no longer any part of the Wild West.. :chaingun:

    The more evolved the country, the more damage the less evolved countries can cause to it.

    When you have nothing to lose, & life is worth the same (nothing), then it is worth the risk...

    We are in the process here of giving 1Billion dollars to some Indian company to set up and start mining the biggest coal field in the southern hemisphere and they want to employ only Indian labor. We are shutting our coal fired power stations because we are the good guys and want to show the world we are clever (try running industry on solar and wind power) but we can send billions of tons for India to burn, still burns, goes into the atmosphere and floats around the world.

    My wife has a lifelong connection to Australia, and many extraordinary friends there. We visited for two weeks last May, a time I will always remember.
    One of the topics for discussion between myself and friends was the repercussions of discontinuing auto manufacturing there. As a gearhead, I have always admired the unique vehicles, and the great ideas which came from Holden, and Ford production Down Under. It saddens me for what is lost. Those I spoke to about it were not too happy either. It seems as though the leftists have sway right now in your country.

    There are those who thought that the USA was on the verge of heading down that path, but reality says otherwise, and the most recent inauguration is just the most visible evidence of it. Note that of 50, there are only 16 Democratic party state governors. Legislatures have seen a significant shift towards conservatism in the last decade. What the highly biased main-stream media (MSM) has pushed on us for a long time has been shown to be far from any semblance of truth, or relevance. As an example, I have zero interest in the thoughts or actions of C.Jenner, but you'd think that he/she was critical to our lives, based on the amount of press given. If it was back-page filler, that'd be one thing. Front pages should be there to inform of important events, which wind up influencing thoughts on life and our human circumstances. Making fringe events and persona into everyday headlines confuses and distorts perceptions and opinions. It was stated quite convincingly last year that progressives were in the lead, were what most of us wanted, and that conservative views were mainly held by "deplorables".

    The battle for true public opinion is being hard waged. Unfortunately, the NWO's still have the control of the largest arsenal, in the form of thought-swaying media.
