I've always said that to the ruling elite and the government, we are just chattel. Canada and the US are corporations, bought and sold on the stock market and we are assets of those corporations. Stop expecting the governments to care about us. They don't. Trump has just brought that out into the open but it has always been thus. Yes, we are human capital stock. Yes get angry. Now channel that anger into constructive action. We do not live in democracies or republics. We live in coropratocracies/oligarchies. Time to change that. Time for people to wake up to reality.
