The other thing that misses the mark. The notion that racism crept over the border into Canada is absurd. Does racism exist? Absolutely. Is it something exclusive to Murka? Not by a long shot.

For those that missed it the first, second, and twentieth time, here it is again.
Racism is stemmed from fear and ignorance. It’s not isolated to any one country. Anywhere there’s people, racism can exist. It’s a human weakness, not necessarily an American one.

There’s racism between Jews and Palestinians. There’s racism between Greeks and Turks. I worked for five years with a mostly Hispanic workforce, and even there there was resentment and hostile feelings between Puerto Rican’s and Mexicans, Dominicans and Colombians, Cubans and Ecuadorians,
Ya get it? This time, hopefully?

The issue I feel like is racism is most often found in this country, especially when you consider how diverse it is with people of different races/nationalities and those who come from different countries.

Racism exists everywhere. Obviously. Even in a place like Canada with the “people are so friendly!” stereotype. Minorities can even be racist to other minorities. Again, I just think this country is where it’s more commonly found in.

Dear Biden voters! #truth So... Israel got bombed, Russia is massing troops on the border with Ukraine. Ukraine is threatening to take Crimea back by force. China is threatening Taiwan and its neighbors while also threatening our ships and Navy. N Korea is testing missiles again and restarting their nuclear weapons program. Iran has been emboldened and making more than their normal threats. Our southern border is a humanitarian disaster caused directly by this administration. And the administration that promised transparency is hiding it and not letting the media have access! Ford is closing a plant and moving it to Mexico after just bringing it back from Mexico because of the current Administration’s plan for Increased taxes. Price of steel up 145%, Lumber 126%, Wheat up 25%, Food index up 25%, Cotton 35%, Silver 38%, Copper 50%, Soybeans 71%, Oil 80%, Pipeline jobs lost. Wall construction jobs lost. 1.9 trillion in stimulus that funds the administrations pet projects and only paid a fraction to the people. 29 trillion in debt with 4.8 trillion projected 2021 deficit before the 2 trillion dollar stimulus proposed today for the new green deal. 🤦‍♂️ 9+% unemployment with millions of job openings that can’t be filled because federal unemployment assistance makes it more advantageous for people to stay home than work. All in the first 100 days. The current presidency is a disaster! Hold on tight, the next 4 years are going to be a rough ride. Interesting that Biden supporters aren’t posting very much about all the great things he’s doing. But hey, at least he hasn't Tweeted any mean things. COPIED & PASTED

This is a problem for small businesses. Many closed last year due to COVID. At the same time creating a labor shortage because with all the stimulus payments, it pays more not to work. But this situation can’t last forever. The government can’t keep printing money, because lo and behold, inflation comes in and the prices for everything rises.

And say what you want about Trump and his mean tweets(I certainly was no fan). But for four years there was peace in the Middle East. Have you seen it now? Iran, Jordan and Syria would love to wipe Israel off the map. Up until 100 days ago, those forces were kept in check.

It's ironic. During President Trump's term many on here claimed he was going to get us in to World War III. Now, under President Biden, Russia is threatening Crimea, China is threatening Taiwan, Hamas is shooting rockets at Israel, the Taliban is taking over Afghanistan again, north Korea is testing nuclear rockets. But Trump . . .
