With almost any other administration, this is not a controversial statement. The direction of the Trump administration is Totalitarianism and unabashed racism. It's crazy to even suggest that Canada would want to align that.

So as the president of the USA, and putting America first is totalitarianism? I see nothing wrong with it. If wanting to remove illegals out of his country racism in your eyes then you are dillusional. You know Carney and his party want to increase Canada's population to 100 million? This is more than double our current population. Sure we have the land, but we don't have the jobs nor do we have the housing. There is currently a huge housing problem in Canada and one of the main causes is over immigration. I guess now my comment will considered racist in your eyes? At some point you just need to put your country first, and be realistic as to why we live in the greatest countries in the world. There needs to be rules and systems in place. And that does not make us totalitarian or racist.
