    Why is this foreign born person still in the US? Didn’t Trump say he wanted to deport naturalized citizens? Deport Ted Rafael Edward Cruz back to Canada! Send him back!

      After all the shit you’re giving us to deal with in Canada this would be the final straw that leads to war. He’s a product of your culture and his power comes from you, he’s your creation.

        Yes everyone know’s a Canadian’s shit doesn’t stink and the country definitely doesn’t have it’s own fascism problem.

        Definitely.

              Canadians are, generally speaking, taking plenty of action against Trump and the United States. Travel and purchase boycotts for instance.

              We’re not the only victims, no, but you have to clean up your own mess. When given the choice to follow you, Canadians recently chose not to.

              Instead of getting butthurt at internet comments go out into the streets

          I dated a Canadian once and you’d have to wait an hour to use the bathroom after her but maybe that was because she was a vegan.

          Anyways what are those shifty Canadians up to up there?

          What’s the fascism problem you’re talking about?

            There are a handful of loud Maple MAGAs that have been continually losing elections. So yeah, there’s some of that here. However, OP is just salty that the US is a fiery shitshow and is deflecting.

            These fascist right wing bastards are being emboldened (and amplified by American conservative funding) everywhere but Canada realizes it’s dependent on immigration enough that even our right wing parties are more hesitant to go full racist so the lowest of the low here don’t have a Trump to get all enthusiastic about.

            Plus now that Trump is picking a fight they don’t feel as comfortable speaking up here with their shitty views.

      If you want to see how ignorant some voters can be, there is really no better evidence than Ted Cruz. I followed his recent Senate race in Texas. In a campaign speech, Cruz said he was fighting the elite.

      • His father owns an oil company in Canada.
      • He attended a private prep school in Houston. His classmates were Bush family kids.
      • He attended Harvard University and Princeton
      • His wife Heidi Cruz is a top executive at Goldman Sachs

      This guy is fighting the establishment? Are you kidding me? 🤦🤦🤦.

        You have to remember it’s not about facts, it’s about feelings. As I always say, we’re all susceptible to that to some extent, but the republicans have it bad.

          I honestly don’t understand how he still gets elected here. I would cry systematic election fraud in Texas but the majority of my parents generation seemingly doesn’t vote at all. But their parents who just watch Fox News all day sure fucking do.

    So what I’m hearing is this is a bill to distract from more important things and to delay.

      Not really, the entire bill is the worst thing to happen to the USA in a hundred years, Ted Cruz’s tiny portion was just so stupid that even the party of destruction disliked it.

    I thought the 1 vote had to be the Zodiac killer Ted Cruz, but no:

    The one vote backing moratorium on state AI laws came from Thom Tillis, not Cruz.

    Did he just not get the memo, or is he that paid off?

      States rights was never really an ideal (in general, if it’s wrong to allow something in one state, it’d be wrong to allow it in the rest, after all). It was just a thing to bring out whenever the federal government disagreed with something they wanted but some states didn’t. But now that they control the federal government, it becomes a liability, so they drop it.
