Last I heard, Canadians call Windsor the "Armpit of Canada" and I'm sure they'd LOVE for the US to annex Windsor and take it off their hands. All DUmmies think about is how much stuff cities get from the other people, but have no concept of said stuff is paid for in the first place.

Canada’s provinces do more for municipalities than our states do for cities. Toronto gets 19 percent of its budget from the Ontario and Canadian federal governments. That’s much more than U.S. cities typically get.

Bull.

Shit.

.....and do you really think Canada wants a city that is 47% functionally illiterate?
              

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

Exactly. The DUmmy says that they get more money from the province than American cities get from the state - pardon my French but bollocks - they all get their money from exactly the same place - the tax-payer.

racist – A statement of surrender during an argument. When two people or disputants are engaged in an acrimonious debate, the side that first says “Racist!” has conceded defeat. Synonymous with saying “Resign” during a chess game, or “Uncle” during a schoolyard fight. Ori

^^ That was pretty funny watching Eric "Streetcar" J, digging in his heels and insisting his idea was brilliant.  And yes, he does want to create a little prison, from which there is no escape.  Pretty evil if you ask me.



Yeah, that kid's so stupid he could box it and sell it for the rest of his life, and never put a dent in his supply.
