Some people have opinions, and some people have convictions......................! What we offer is PERSPECTIVE!

For example...

ALLAN's CANADIAN PERSPECTIVE!

THE LEFT WING IS CRAZY! THE RIGHT WING SCARES THE SHIT OUT OF ME!

"BioPanentheism holds that the 'Divine' does not merely pervade the Universe abstractly... but "Experiences Reality" directly and vicariously through the emergence of complex "Biological Consciousness..." making "Life Itself" the Medium of "God’s Awareness!"

BioPanentheism states that the Divine Spark, and Biological Life are distinct but interdependent... with the "Divine Experiencing Reality Vicariously through Conscious Living Beings!" (Sentience is about experiencing... while Sapience is about understanding and reflecting on that experience!)

SATURDAY MORNING CONFUSION ABOUT TRUMP:

If there ever was...or is... confusion about what other people think about the United States of America... then this 'looooong' letter will put it all into "Perspective!" (God, I love that word!) 

- From Quora!


***

A: (By S.D. Hargreaves!) I tried really, really hard to pretend I didn’t see or read this incredibly offensive, delusional and stupid question, ...but there was no unreading it, no unseeing it 

Even if it’s just a troll, I feel the need to answer these kinds of stupid questions, just so Americans reading it know that Canadians have a backbone and we refuse to be bullied. 

You don’t have to like Canadians! 

But you will respect Canadians! 

***

I’d like to know who exactly ‘we’ is? 

I’d also like to know who calls the USA the greatest country on earth (besides overly loud, arrogant Americans) because from what I’ve seen, every other country on the face of the earth begs to differ! 

Let’s call out the ‘we’ for who they really are in this case...  MAGA! (And the remaining Americans who actually believe this type of utter bullshit!) 

You see, if you actually did live in the greatest country on earth, you wouldn’t feel compelled to run around arrogantly proclaiming it to everyone who will listen... because they would already know that you are! 

***

Not once, in my entire 50 years on this planet, have I ever thought of the U.S. as great. 

"It sounds to me like there are a whole lot of Americans on Quora trying to convince themselves that their country is anything but the horrific, morally rotten, dystopian hellscape it's becoming under the dick-tatorship of the felon, Donald J. fucking Trump."

What does it say about the MAGA morons who elected a vile, morally bankrupt, serial lying, racist, rapist, two-bit grifter and multiple-time convicted felon, Trump, as their president? 

It says you believe in the same ‘ideals’ as him, and you celebrate it!

You’re nothing more than an evil, twisted cult, comprised of sociopaths and sycophants, where idiocy and ignorance reign supreme. 

You mirror your sick president’s morally reprehensible qualities and beliefs... and vice versa! 

When anyone calls you out on it, you respond by blaming everyone else and resorting to bullying tactics. 

There is nothing remarkable about that! (You’re spineless cowards!) 

MAGA [including the pimple on the ass of humanity, Trump] should be ashamed of themselves... but you’d have to have a conscience to feel shame! 

Do the other half of Americans, who don’t support Trump and his authoritarian regime, need to lynch him and all the other republicans for treason? (Hang him from one of his new flag poles that he loves so much!) 

When will you dipshits finally see the snake-oil salesman for what he truly is? All we hear from toxic MAGA is more hateful rhetoric, more false propaganda and more pathetic denial!

There is nothing great about the U.S. right now! 

It’s a predatory country... deeply divided by hate, derision, intolerance, racism and corruption!

Your demented, orange, grease-painted clown of a president - and MAGA as a whole - is a plague on Americans who don’t support or condone his evil actions, policies, and his desire to "spread the faith...!" 

And that’s the crux of the matter for Canadians!

"Your commander and thief just had to go and drag Canada into this clusterfuck by stabbing us in the back and entering into an illegal trade war with us... designed to weaken our economy and leave us vulnerable to further attacks!" 

Trump’s baseless slandering of Canada doesn’t project strength; it makes him look weak and desperate. 

The U.S. has managed to make enemies out of your peaceful, quiet, unassuming neighbours... and former allies! 

And for what? 

What is your justification? 

It’s pure jealousy and resentment! 

Jealousy that Canada actually is a great country... and is generally loved and well-regarded by other countries around the world! 

Resentment that even though we share a continent, it’s Canadians who are consistently enjoying a better quality of life! (Whereas Canada routinely ranks among the top ten countries to live in... the U.S. doesn't even crack the top twenty on a good year!) 

Kind of delivers a death punch to the U.S. notion of being the greatest country on earth... eh? 

These are tangible facts, not the fabricated numbers, polls, studies and opinions that the Trump administration jams down your throats... meaning he couldn’t give a rat's ass if you choke on his constant barrage of bargain bin lies!

MAGA has been conned, brainwashed and gaslit by a fraud with a room temperature I.Q. (72?)

What truly boggles the mind is that you’re all proud of it! (A gleeful group of legitimately clueless idiots, half-wits and morons who would jump off a cliff if Trump told them to!) 

I don’t speak for all Canadians, but this Canadian would be extremely happy to shove all you MAGA assholes off a cliff. 

That’s the very least that you deserve! 

You should have left Canada out of your bullshit... we don’t take kindly to your disrespect and various threats against our sovereignty. 

Despite what your superiority complex would have you believe... Canada doesn’t answer to the U.S. 

We owe you nothing... You don’t subsidize us in any way, shape, or form... we don’t need your ‘protection’ ...we don’t want to be like you, we don’t want to be associated with you... and we damn sure don’t want to join you! 

Take your 51st state delusions and shove them up your ass! 

The spread of the filthy MAGA plague stops abruptly at the northern border! 

All of you retarded red-hat Nazi’s are not welcome in Canada! Step one foot in our country in an aggressive manner ...and you’ll immediately regret it! 

In other words... fuck off! 

Having said all of this, there are positive takeaways for Canada, one of which is that Canada has been forced to search for alternative, more trustworthy trade relationships around the world, thereby diminishing our reliance on the U.S. 

Another being the uniting of Canadians... and a renewed, fierce sense of patriotism in the face of the external threat posed by the U.S. 

‘Elbows Up’ and ‘Canada is not for sale’ movements are alive and gaining ever more strength all across Canada!

Our boycott of U.S. goods and travel to the U.S., [which are things that contribute to the U.S. economy] has cost your country billions so far... and it will cost you billions more! 

Canadians are realizing we don’t always have to be friendly and polite... we can be angry if we want, and we can play dirty if needed!

We can use diversionary tactics against the U.S. with much more success than you, because the U.S. is run by dangerously stupid, wildly inexperienced, disgraced TV personalities, traitors, douchebags and certifiable lunatics! (For example, Jewish space lasers and cyborg Biden clones that don’t exist!) 

Nobody but those dipshits is going to call the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America... wind turbine noise doesn’t cause cancer... and injecting yourself with bleach doesn’t cure Covid! 

Unfortunately, the majority of you lunatics are also anti-vaccers... but then again... if ya gotta "thin the herd" ...this is a good way to do it!

MAGA is worse than scientologists... and they're batshit crazy!

I could write a book just on the topic of how the U.S. is not great... filled with truth, fun facts, actual history and pictures... but for now... I’ll answer the odd, ignorant question such as this one, because let’s face it, bashing MAGA Americans is not only cathartic... it’s fun! 


I’m tired of Quora’s hypocrisy in deleting my answers and comments made in response to these questions, while not only allowing the original question to remain posted... but also allowing dozens of new, similar questions to be posted daily, which I find maddening! 


I’m sure I’m not the only Canadian experiencing this, so I encourage you to do the same as I am! 


MAGA, trolls... Russian bots... it matters not to me... delete them all! 


I’m not asking you... or telling you to do so... I'm strictly encouraging you to do so... with all due respect and unwavering support.



The Impolite Canadian!


(P.S. I read Quora a lot... and I have also come to the conclusion that a significant percentage of the American population... are complete and utter idiots! -ed.)


Anyone in MAGA must be two people... because no one person could be that stupid!!!!

EVERY CANADIAN AND AMERICAN SHOULD READ THIS!

 War

By Allan W. Janssen

Donald Trump’s decision to hike tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum to a punishing 50% is not just an attack on our workers—it’s a slap in the face to one of America’s most dependable allies. 

The move is economically irrational, diplomatically reckless, and strategically short-sighted. 

But let’s be clear: Canada does not need to respond with fury. 

We need to respond with focus.

We are not powerless. 

In fact, we are holding many of the cards.

Canada is more than a quiet neighbour. 

We are a foundational pillar of North America’s energy, resource, and security architecture. 

U.S. states depend on us every day for hydroelectricity, natural gas, softwood lumber, potash, critical minerals, and clean drinking water. 

Our pipelines heat their homes. 

Our forests build their cities. 

Our electricity lights their nights.

We could shut off the tap. 

But we shouldn’t.

Instead, we should play the long game—and play it smarter.

A Better Kind of Retaliation

Rather than matching chaos with chaos, Canada should implement a layered strategy that hurts where it counts, without abandoning our values or alliances.

Start with targeted counter-tariffs, precisely aimed at Republican strongholds. 

This isn’t new. 

It worked in 2018, when Canada slapped tariffs on bourbon, motorcycles, and ketchup, products close to home for Trump-aligned industries. 

If the tariff man wants a fight, we should make sure his voters feel it.

Then, move to export leverage

Canada should review and potentially restructure electricity and resource contracts, especially to U.S. states that benefit from below-market rates. 

If Ontario or Quebec were to renegotiate nighttime electricity exports to New England under a new premium pricing model, the message would be clear: you want to double our tariffs, you pay double for our power.

A border carbon adjustment is also overdue. If Canada imposes a climate-linked fee on imports like American steel and oil, we align with our environmental goals and the global economic consensus, while pushing back on artificially cheap, high-emission goods from across the border.

Let’s not forget legal tools. The USMCA and WTO were written to handle this kind of arbitrary trade aggression. 

Canada should immediately file a formal dispute and rally allies like Mexico, the EU, and Japan. 

Let Trump explain to the world why he’s sabotaging a rules-based system he helped rewrite just five years ago.

Economic Leverage, Not Economic War

Some might argue for more dramatic action. 

Shutting down power lines to New England for a few hours on a weekend would certainly grab headlines. 

But that’s a move better suited to dictators than democracies. 

Canada’s strength lies not in its silence... but in its stability. 

We do not win by matching bluster, but by mastering consequence.

A power disruption could escalate tensions into a full-blown trade war, risking Canadian jobs, U.S. retaliation, and a collapse of trust that would take decades to rebuild. 

It’s a bluff we don’t need to play—because our strength isn’t in threats, it’s in leverage, law, and logic.

A Sovereign Nation, Not a 51st State

Trump has floated ideas that insult Canadian sovereignty, ranging from absurd suggestions of “annexation” to more recent comments questioning our role in NATO. 

These are not the words of a partner; they are the postures of a bully.

Canada must stand tall—not to provoke, but to remind our American friends: the relationship is mutual, not one-sided. 

And if respect is withdrawn, so too must our favours.

Our retaliation should be precise, principled, and patient. 

Let the world see Canada for what it truly is, not just the United States’ neighbour, but its equal in courage, conscience, and capability.

Every American Needs to Read this!!!!

The guy who wrote this next piece is a radio host named Bill King... and he is now my hero!!!!

***

My stomach churns. 

The bile rises. 

Never in my lifetime have I seen a more shameful, more disgraceful occupant of the White House. 

A man who has so thoroughly soiled the seat of power that even history recoils. 

A traitor. 

A thug. 

A liar. 

A cheat. 

And today, a pathetic, desperate, pantomime dictator, trying to stare down the leader of Ukraine—Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a man who has stood before death, before the smoking ruins of his homeland, and still refuses to bow!

Trump? 

Trump isn’t fit to lace Zelenskyy’s boots. 

The bloated relic of a 'Reality Show Presidency,' slathered in an extra layer of high-polished orange shoe polish, face glowing like a jack-o’-lantern stuffed with state secrets. 

He sat there playing the part of a South American strongman from the ‘50s, puffed up and empty, all bark and bluster, ...but no spine, no soul. 

He thought he could roll over a man who has lived in the trenches of war. 

But Zelenskyy has seen real men die. 

He has heard the whistle of missiles meant to tear him apart. 

Trump has never heard anything louder than the sound of his own mouth.

So what did the orange tyrant do? 

He rattled on about Hunter Biden’s laptop. 

In the presence of a war hero, he ranted like an unhinged lunatic about a hard drive. 

Idiot speak. 

Straightjacket talk. 

A man devoid of vision, reduced to the same old grievances, same old conspiracy-laced dementia... as if the fate of nations could be debated on the level of a Fox News fever dream.

And then, the jester arrived... J.D. Vance, a third-rate clown who came not to stand for anything... but to clean Trump’s boots with his lips. 

He sat there, all smug obedience, waiting for his cue, eager to please his master in moments of fitful rage. 

No dignity. 

No independence. 

Just another political parasite feeding off the rot.

This was one of the most sickening displays of cowardice in American history.

***

And across the border, Canada’s Trudeau... so often a punching bag for American conservatives...stood tall, shoulder to shoulder with Zelenskyy... a leader among leaders. 

He didn’t grovel. 

He didn’t cower. 

He didn’t babble like a lunatic about emails or laptops. 

He stood on the right side of history.

That’s the difference. 

That’s the stark, gut-wrenching reality.

On one side, men of honour!

On the other, grub worms in suits!
