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.
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.
and america will pay for it. and do it. bonus.
As long as they are paying for it.
They need a Go Fund Me page. CPP ain't much but I could probably kick in a few bucks.
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.
no way. you have to take one dirty dummycrat for every maga you depart. And me first.
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!
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.
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.
Yes please. Anything that would help distance Americans from us.
Sounds like a dream come true… for Canada.
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!
The folks that live in Point Roberts, Washington will love this…
are we gonna build it outta snow?
