People want changes. Immigration is now synonymous with security, 9/11 was the beginning, and although Americans were in shocked, they might have been able to overcome this attack, but it continued and became more and more horrific, not only in the US, but Paris, Belgium, etc... I believe distrust & fear of immigration is the main driver of this new 'outspoken' racism. Many just don't seem to give a sh$t anymore about political correctness. Trump realized this because he's not a politician, so in some respect he was part of the mainstream looking at Washington thinking, what the f^%k!! He spoke the truth about NAFTA, in terms of it's effect on 'regular' people, they gained much much less than the elite in these trade deals, they might be paying a tiny bit less for clothes, etc. but then many saw their jobs move to Mexico, so do not care about this tiny saving!! Free Trade was good for Ottawa, Washington and mostly Los Pinos. It will interesting to see how he approaches the next few months.
Immigration is a surrogate for security.

Funny part is, victims of "terrorism" in the U.S. aren't even a rounding error in our homicide stats.

What is it that is dangerous about protecting the livelihood of the citizens of your country. We elect governments to do just that. We do not elect them to take all our money and give it away to others without any benefit to us. Do you seek to put every average Canadian citizen into poverty so the citizens of Zambia or Laos can have a better lifestyle? Seriously...explain how and why you seem to support taking the fruits of my labour and using them to provide a better life for people in other countries especially when I do not want to give my labour for that reason.

If you don't help Zambia, eventually Zambia or Laos turns on you in a rude manner (see 9/11). There is a direct connection between treating other people around the world like crap and threats to your security.

Why is Kellie considered a racist? She supports tougher and more thorough screening of Canadian values in immigrants who wish to move here. That doesn't make her racist.
Nobody ever did tell me, after repeated questioning, what exactly "Canadian values" are. Hockey and poutine? Toques and flannel? The superiority of whites?

Did she call Mexicans rapists?

I always thought that it involved a Canadian history test, language competency that kind of thing. But I've never took the test and I'm sure many Canadians would fail it. So I'm actually not sure.

Really? I haven't seen those pages in the history book where Canada has been attacked throughout history before the neo-liberal lefties started all this globalism bullsh*t.

Actually, the only country that has attacked us repeatedly, is the rootin'-tootin' Yanks.

Some friends, eh?

For a start it's a political system that favors Quebec because the English kicked their a$$es and now we have to let them perpetually run the country.

A conservative would approach Ford (and companies like them) and ask them what is required to operate successfully within the country and try to create the climate needed (if at all possible). A conservative politician would be smart enough to know that the country can't do everything and it doesn't make economic sense to build electronics and shoes (for example) when it can be done far cheaper elsewhere. A conservative politician would never slap the cars, electronics and shoes with a tariff, thereby making these products more expensive for the population he's serving. A conservative politician would never say "I will look after you" A conservative politician would create an environment where people can look after themselves. Trump is a lefty. It's clear to see. It's just not easy to admit for the Trumpites because to do so would suggest that there was another reason to support him (hint: it starts with an R and rhymes with bassist)

How many times has Canada been attacked since the neo-liberal lefties started all this globalism bullsh*t?

Petros' feelings have been hurt more times than you could imagine. Does that count?
