Never mind, now that the US is stopping all those heading for their southern border we (Canadians) will not see too many from the US (Roham Road) or through the western border crossing either.
I wonder how Trump will handle the huge Caravan of wanna be citizens heading up his way. Is his wall ready? Somehow I don't think they even have Visas.

Oh Bluebyrdie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are spreading your GUANO ALL OVER the LIE-beral situation- which was ALREADY a DISGUSTING MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Buried in all your verbal guano is an UGLY TRUTH- that ALL LIE-beral policy contains UNACCEPTABLE LEVELS of deceit and deception that are infuriating the public!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AS for civil service union Hogs such as yourself- your biggest concern apparently is that your "two small govt pensions" as you sneeringly describe then- may DISAPPEAR after LIE-berals run head on into the debt wall!!!
It is so much more fun to have those "small" govt pensions to pay for groceries and the wine list and nice meals etc- and to SAVE YOUR MONEY for luxuries like TWO HOMES in separate countries!!!!!!!!!!!!
And to hell with the environmental cost of operating two houses!
WE KNOW YOU ARE ENTITLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How will you manage to maintain ALL your entitlements if LIE-berals run us fully and publicly into bankruptcy and a new govt enacts a means test and tells you that your pensions are GONE because you have that nice supply of private money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When you defend LIE-berals you support fiscal LIARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is an article illustrating the rotten heart of LIE-beral economic policy. With some comments of my own in brackets):

Without a doubt, rising population and prosperity in the developing world will grow global demand for energy for the foreseeable future. For human progress, this is fantastic. Billions of people will be lifted out of poverty. Central to this progress is access to reliable and reasonably priced power.
(But where will all the energy come from? LIE-berals playing silly tax games insist that renewable energy from wind and solar is key- but in this they LIE! LIE-beral mouldy green energy is produced in fits and starts- wen the sun shones bright or is clouded over; or when a big wind gust sets the blades spinning and then dies away!)
(Mouldy green power means Lithium is needed- LOTS OF IT- for batteries- to store the green power and Lithium is increasingly recognized as just as big a polluter as oil- during the refining process and during the recycling process!)
(The ONLY HONEST WAY to reduce our green house gas emissions is to make logical reductions in fossil fuel use- such as- is it sensible to let LIE-berals continue to BRIBE civil service union Hogs with so much gravy that Hogs have a HUGE carbon foot print at OUR EXPENSE? LIE-berals cripple our economy with taxes and then we get to breath the exhaust spewed by Hogs at play with their many gas powered toys!)
(Which does the average person need more- a cheap way to heat the house- or a airplane flight to Florida for some golf?)
(Which do we need more- a cheap way to produce hot water for cleaning- or one of those electrically powered bubble systems that Hogs are installing around their costly Muskoka Lakes docks to ensure that ice does not form around the dock and damage it?)
(Whic would be better for our health- a 20 mile buzz down the lake on a sea doo- or a 20 minute paddle in a canoe? In related news- who is likely to see more wild life- the sea- doo rider or the canoist?)
When Trudeau came face-to-face with 54-year-old Kathy Katula from rural Ontario last January, he learned about real-life consequences. “My heat and hydro now cost me more than my mortgage,” Katula tearfully explained. “How is it justified for you to ask me to pay a carbon tax when I only have $65 left of my pay cheque every two weeks to feed my family?”
(The worst part of the LIE-beral carbon scam is that the money beaten from the hides of desperate Cdns like Katula is that the cash will be given to civil service union Hogs so they can maintain or even EXPAND their carbon foot prints! Since one employed Cdn in 3 works for govt- it means there is a BIG chunk of society that will NOT be feeling any pressure to reduce carbon consumption!)
Although Trudeau’s carbon tax will make hydrocarbon fuels even more expensive, Katula’s main complaint is with the Liberal government of Ontario. Ontarians suffering from energy poverty can blame the province’s massively subsidized and poorly structured green energy contracts, recklessly rapid phase-out of coal power, the infamous gas plant cancellations, and gross mismanagement of power supply and demand.
(LIE-berals have so badly mis-managed the mouldy green power supply that we are routinely paying sky high costs to buy mouldy green that we do not need- and even worse- we cannot shut down green production when energy use is low- so we must sell off the surplus to Yankees at LOW rates- LIE-berals have signed contracts with their green energy producing pals guaranteeing LIE-berals will buy every scrap of green power produced- regardless of how much we need or when we need it- or even if we can afford it! LIE-berals TAKE CARE of their PALS! )
(The real irony and demonstration of LIE-beral madness is that civil service Hogs are boasting of how bright and green a future the Yankees have since the cost of mouldy green energy has fallen so low in United States! That the LOW COST for Yankee mouldy green is due to them buying so much Cdn mouldy green at bargain rates that are killing our economy -is NOT something Hogs want to discuss!)
In Ontario, residential electricity bills have more than doubled in the last decade. Canadian Taxpayers Federation research reveals electricity costs at St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital have increased 75% since 2013; Woodstock Hospital has seen a 60% increase in the same time.
(Energy costs for hospitals might explain why they are becoming such FILTHY places! The number of patients coming into contact with anti-biotic resistant diseases is SOARING! And its simply due to a lack of cleaning staff that were fired so hospitals could spend the money in other ways- like energy costs and gravy for administrators! LIE-beral greed for gravy is literally MAKING US SICK!)
In British Columbia, the health authorities spent over $5-million on carbon offsets in 2015 alone. Yet, that province will begin to ratchet up its carbon tax each year on April 1 until it hits $50 a tonne in 2021.
(The latest news is that B.C. carbon emissions are virtually UNCHANGED in spite of the carbon cash grab- and that the number of cars registered in the province continues to GROW! LIE-berals are IGNORING the reality that our part time, temporary, temp agency, here today and gone tomorrow type economy requires the modern employee to have MOBILITY and speed that our out dated and overloaded public transit cannot provide!)
(Employers want workers to show up QUICKLY when called in- being MOBILE means more work! And employers frown on employees who have walked a half mile from a bus stop in summer heat before arriving for work covered in sweat - a physical condition not suitable for any retail or public relations type job!!
Alberta’s NDP government is also accelerating coal plant closures, subsidizing renewables, and taxing and regulating carbon dioxide. Their carbon tax increased by 50% to $30 a tonne on Jan. 1.
(The usual out of control NDP spending will ensure that Notley and her gang of fuzzy thinking/ free spending socialists will be gone soon! And LIE-berals are facing the same existentialist threat! It costs cash to buy votes and we are bankrupt! The populace is not receptive to more USELESS and costly socialist virtue signalling on environmental issues!)
(But rthe public si clearly UNWILLING to accept any more LIE-beral tax gouging that would ensure the govt gravy train keeps rolling in luxury! We are engaged in a battle for control of both our economy and our environment- and Hogs are the enemy in BOTH CASES!)
Alberta Premier Rachel Notley defended her carbon tax by suggesting it would have negligible effects on gasoline costs, yet would reduce emissions by incenting some Albertans to walk or take the bus. Critics slammed her as either illogical or hypocritical, and badly out of touch.
(LIE-berals and their idiot cousins of NDP and Green Party are deliberately IGNORING the simple AND EASY solution to carbon trouble- they should be cutting back on gravy for Hogs! Cut back on gravy for Hogs and the people with the biggest OPTIONAL/recreational carbon foot print will cut their output!)
(And as we also know- disturbing a lake shoreline to build docks and other amenities disrupts the habitat of various reptile and other species that are already at risk! Why- cut back on gravy and Hogs might even stop installing those electrically powered air pressure bubble systems at their country estates to prevent ice from building up and damaging their boat docks!)
(Sadly, LIE-berals think it is better to beat up on the waitress who drives her car home from her late shift because she does not feel safe on public transit late at night thanks to LIE-beral hug a thug judges - than it is to condemn Hog carbon usage! After all- LIE-berals spend BILLIONS buying Hog votes and depend on that support for the survival of their party- clearly it is the waitress who insists on driving that is the environmental problem- for LIE-berals!)
(Travelling by air plane is the biggest of all influences on global warming! So what price for a Hog vacation and some rounds of golf in Florida in January? Especially when we are so BROKE that LIE-berals are BORROWING cash to shovel onto the Hog gravy train just so Hogs can get on that environment breaking freedom machine with its carbon heavy life style!)
(The evidence isn IN- cutting back on air travel means IMMEDIATE reductions in global warming! But currently No govt will come out and say that Hog carbon consumption is as bad for our health as sitting in a room full of tobacco smoke- and its MORE COSTLY too!)
Like Trudeau’s encounter with Kathy Katula, it was another example of a green political crusader talking down to the people paying for the crusade.
As taxes and costs rise, promised green jobs fail to materialize, and few others in the world make these sacrifices, Canadians may soon start demanding a new approach that puts affordability on par with sustainability – and political accountability.
(In other news - that ozone depleting chemicals are now coming back into major use around the world indicates how price sensitive we humans are! Affordability must become a key consideration for any new climate ideas! Too bad LIE-berals and their idiot socialist cousins think ONLY of MORE GRAVY- for them!)
