Yes, I'm pretty sure he is Canadian, he's said what many, many, many, many Canadians are saying, with or without the "please", lol. Among decided voters in Canada, 84% would have voted with Biden, only 16% for trump (we have a fringe group of trumpeters here too).

We have our little fringe bunch of magats in Hawaii, too.. trump got more votes this time than he did when Hillary beat him last time.

It's unfathomable to me but here we are.

Thank Goodness for all the 75 Million in strategic states who Did Voted for Joe Biden!!!!

....when I used to travel for work, if I spent a week in the South I'd come home with a slight tinge of a southern drawl. If I spent a week in Chicago I'd pick up their accent (don't know how to describe it) etc. I was born in Brooklyn but worked hard to get rid of my accent by the time I was 20, but my wife says when I have a beer or two the ol' Brooklyn accent comes out.

But I DO like his sentiment though!

They transfer in from the Toronto office and I haven't noticed an accent on any of them either, at least nothing noticeable. They are all from the Toronto area, so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

Maybe it is time for tRUMP supporters to grow the fuck up and begin acting like respectable human beings for a Goddamned change.

If they prove that they can conduct themselves like reasonable ADULTS instead of selfish juvenile delinquent brats going forward for long while, then maybe their fellow human beings on Earth won't treat them like a dysfunctional curse that needs scorned.

....that would benefit their economy or lifestyle.

Most of my family (mother's side) lives in Ontario, so I probably could have worked something out to be allowed in legally by having one vouch for me regardless of my education/profession (I was an engineer* before retiring).

As it turns out, when we lost our mother nine years ago, going over paperwork and other documents we learned that there's an obscure law that was passed in the late 1940s. Anyone who has at least one Canadian parent, is automatically a Canadian citizen if born after 1947. I was born in 1948, so I'm a Canadian citizen even though born in Brooklyn. I can move up there anytime I want, but being 72 that's a huge life change.

*even though degreed from a top US engineering school, I couldn't simply work as an engineer up in Canada. I would have to go through the qualification steps to become licensed to practice engineering.
