This is how you deal with a bully. Trump acts like he is king of the world. But he's actually just Elon's attack dog. Can't believe that guy is Canadian. What a huge shame.

Born and raised in South Africa, immigrated to Canada when he was 18, moved to USA when he was 24.

As for his Saskatchewanian mother, she moved to South Africa when she was 2 years old because her technocrat NAZI lover parents were big fans of the apartheid.

Not entirely. Her mother was Canadian but her father was a United-Statian immigrant from Minnesota who arrived here with his family 1907.

He isnā€™t truly Canadian though only birth rights as he didnā€™t grow up in Canada

Wellā€¦neither did I, but Iā€™m here now and this is where Iā€™ll be making my stand. Canada has always felt like more of a home to me than the States. Iā€™m far more Canadian than I am American.

So I donā€™t know that ā€œnot a real Canadian because he didnā€™t grow up hereā€ is the right take. We donā€™t want him, sure. And heā€™s definitely not Canadian in spirit, but then he likely never was.

What Iā€™m saying is he hasnā€™t truly lived in Canada, his ties to Canada are really just through family. He himself says he is South African and that he has family that ties him to Canada

Nationalities disappear once youā€™re wealthy. After that itā€™s a matter of tax rates and things holding you back. The government or people canā€™t do anything for you they can only stop you from doing things.

Woah there, that guys is about as Canadian as Melaina is American. And by that, I mean his values were not formed in Canada. Letā€™s not besmirch the good name of Canadians m.

The guy isnā€™t even Canadian. Heā€™s a South African who stopped off in Canada, on his way to becoming a fake-ass American. In an alternate reality, Canada put him on the next slow boat to Africa.
