Canadians want to build a wall, too — to keep Americans out

In Canada, Scott Walker’s withdrawal from the American presidential race generated some serious headlines. Walker famously suggested building a wall on the 5,540-mile U.S.-Canada border. A Bloomberg Politics poll released at the end of September found that 41 percent of Americans support the idea.

The controversy has inspired a new genre of columns and letters to the editor that have appeared in newspapers across Canada in recent weeks. The theme? “Bring on that wall!”

“Yes, Canadians,” journalist Josh Freed wrote in a column for the Montreal Gazette. “We must build a wall between the U.S. and us — and the time is now.”

Imagine the flood of political refugees, he told readers, in the case of a Donald Trump victory in the U.S. presidential election, “millions of shocked American Democrats and other Trump-dodgers fleeing across our Canadian border, seeking political refugee status here in the land of the free(ze).”

A Globe and Mail editorial expressed support for construction of the Great Wall of Canada. “Walls have demonstrated their usefulness throughout history, from the Ming dynasty to Game of Thrones,” it said.

And they want Americans to pay for it. :2canadian

I think every country ought to build walls from now on, the island nations can build sea walls. What do you think?
 
I say do it.

I think the logistics of getting all those Mexicans up to the Canadian Border to build the wall, would be insurmountable:mrgreen:

Canada should start taking in all those illegal immigrants coming from south of the border. We always hear from other countries how we should just let'em in. It's time for those countries to let'em in.

I think we should not only make Washington pay for it, but we'll use American illegals to build it. There's nothing like slave labour to get an economy going!

If that doesn't work I'm going to ask all Canadians to go into their garages and pull out cases of 24 empties and use that for material. I think we could easily get 100 feet of wall, straight across, eh.

Hilarious.
Are there masses of US citizens illegally emigrating to Canada as there is Mexican citizens to the US? No, of course not.

Hopefully we tax their citizens remittances to help pay for our southern wall.

This illegal immigrant issue has already spilled over into Canada. Once in the US they then migrate north and cross over into Canada. Or they simply overstay their migrant work visas. Either way, though not as widespread as the problem here in the US it is a growing concern for many Canadians.

Easier and cheaper to just come in and take over your country... or have a gap in our wall and a pathway both physical and otherwise for our illegals from the south to make there way to Canada.

There is so much open space there, huge country and Canadians with your low population could use a couple ten millions of new citizens in the Great White North, eh?

American's got Justin Beiber....LOL
 
Yes, please.

Can we put a wall around California, too?
 
So, they view disaffected American liberals like conservative Americans view illegal immigrants. That's actually pretty funny.

They don't get automatic amnesty, neither.

Ottawa rules out amnesty for 200,000 illegal workers - Canada immigration news archive

The decision is a bitter disappointment to Portuguese and Hispanic groups, home-builder associations and unions in Ontario that have lobbied CIC to allow undocumented workers in the construction industry to regularize their status.

Here lies the problem in the US.....employers have used these workers and enjoyed their cheap labor for decades....they have done nothing to eliminate the jobs for illegals or discourage illegal workers/hiring them. IMO....if the government cracked down BIG time on those employing illegals this would have never escalated into the mass problem we see in this country today. You can't blame the illegals for wanting work/a better life...it's not their fault jobs are available to them...we need to stop blaming the immigrant and look at the real problem - those who employ them are breaking the law!!! Take away the very reason they come and the problem is solved. No jobs...no free citizenship/amnesty....no reason to come.

If wasn't for America Canada wouldn't exist, so it only makes sense that Americans would have to do it.
