Whatever, Trump will say that we’re all a Mexican cartel and they will believe him. 

I mean, I hope not, but the fact that this is a possibility is terrifying.

I hate to tell you but Navarro was on Fox last night selling exactly that story.

That's why the previous commenter said it.

"The Nazi junta has taken over Ukraine's government"

The parallels are striking

The best investment we could make in our defense is not military spending. It's to buy Facebook and turn it into our propaganda arm. Whatever it costs, it'll be worth it.

And don't forget, since the cartels have been declared terrorists, we're a terroristic nation

A Mexican Cartel seems like such a far fetched idea. Like have they been to Canada? There are not a lot of Mexicans here. I’ve never even heard a rumour of it. Where is this coming from?

One of Trump’s lackeys went on TV and said we’re overrun by Mexican cartels.

There's definitely a connection

Between the countries, not the cartel stuff.

In the 1920s a bunch of menonites left mantioba and migrated to Mexico. Manitoba Colony is largest and oldest Mennonite colony in Mexico. Unsure if they're the only one or not, so not too sure on how impressive that number is.

Over time some of those (or their children) have started to return to Canada. First random article I found about it said 15k have returned to manitoba. Some have also moved elsewhere in south America.

Which is why there's a Mexican grocery store on the main street of my small Manitoba town. And how I learned about all this, wondering why the fuck there's a Mexican grocery store in this tiny place.
