If it catches fire? Oh well, let it burn; pass the marshmallows, eh wot? Better yet; fetch the gasoline.
Perhaps easier said from north of the border, wot?
Why do you think that? Do you think that Canada is somehow impervious to the vagaries of angry American populism? I would submit, we would arguably be the most vulnerable to it, but I do not worry about thus which is beyond my control, and perhaps Canada most of all, is due for a wake up call.

Sometimes, the troops, simply need to learn the hard way. Will it be the Somme all over again? I doubt that, but sometimes one needs to go all the way to the Somme, to take the lesson learned.

Have Canadians voted to go and see the Elephant? Perhaps not, but the lesson they may learn, is that sometimes the Elephant comes to see you, without asking you for permission to do so; buckle up, troops.

So how are things working out after you elected as PM a borderline retarded substitute band teacher?

Putin declares Russia whores are the best in the world.
Trump is “a grown man,” Putin said, according to Bloomberg News, “and secondly he’s someone who has been involved with beauty contests for many years and has met the most beautiful women in the world … I find it hard to believe that he rushed to some hotel to meet girls of loose morals, although ours are undoubtedly the best in the world.”

Oh, about as expected, let's see how he handles a crisis tho, bring it on, with crisis after all, comes opportunity.

Green Energy/Carbon Taxes, eh? Alrighty-o-then, Enviro Canadians, you're getting what you said you wanted, let's see how that works out for you; mwahahahaha.

Sometimes, the best way to take down your political opponents, is simply to feed them rope, and then let them hang themselves with it.

Some thoughts on the inaugural hoopla, and a fantastic quote.

Trump’s win dealt them and their descendants a helluva blow, but they’ve got the freakish strength of drowning men.

Dude ain't no saint. He's another career democrat, stirring up racial strife every chance he gets, representing the worst part of Atlanta.

.”under Polish pressure the Germans in the southern and eastern districts were subjected to oppressive treatment. On Aug. 19 1920 the Poles felt strong enough, indeed, to make an attempt to seize the country by force. On all sides bands of Poles, chiefly recruited from Congress Poland, usurped authority. A number of Germans were forcibly carried across the frontier into Poland, and many were killed. Several weeks elapsed before it was possible to quell this rising and restore order…It had been suggested by the Entente that non-resident Upper Silesians of the German Reich should vote outside Silesia, at Cologne. Germany protested against this, and her protest was recognized as valid by the Entente. In January 1921 the date of the plebiscite was fixed for March 20 1921.
An immediate revival took place in the use of terrorism by the Poles, especially in the districts of Rybnik, Pless, Kattowitz, and Beuthen. It reached its climax in the days preceding the plebiscite. Voters from other parts of the German Reich were frequently refused admission to the polls; sometimes they were maltreated and even in some instances murdered; and houses where outvoters were staying were set on fire… The day after the plebiscite the Polish excesses recommenced, and from that date onwards continued without interruption… Practically all the towns voted for Germany… the first days of May witnessed a new Polish insurrection which assumed far greater proportions than the former one. Korfanty had secretly raised a well-organized Polish force which was provided with arms and munition from across the border, and was reinforced by large bodies of men from Poland…
By June 20 the British troops had again occupied the larger towns, while the Poles had the upper hand in the rural districts. As a result of the difficulties in paying his men and providing them with food Korfanty now lost control over his followers. Independent bands were formed which plundered the villages, ill-treated the Germans, and murdered many of them.”

- 1922 Encyclopaedia Britannica, “SILESIA, UPPER”
This article appeared in the Polish newspaper Die Liga der Grossmacht in October, 1930:
A struggle between Poland and Germany is inevitable. We must prepare ourselves for it systematically. Our goal is a new Battle of Tannenberg. However, this time, a Tannenberg in the suburbs of Berlin. Prussia must be reconquered for Poland, and Prussia, indeed, as far as the River Spree. In a war with Germany there will be no prisoners…
Seems you have a different definition of "extermination". Ethnic cleansing, sure. Murders, yes.

Those times there were actual extermination campaigns of people going around, not just ethnic cleansing with people forced to leave their homes.

Yet I would be cautious of the huge numbers as naturally German propaganda naturally portrayed a genocide happening in Poland against the Germans.

I wonder what country lost roughly every fifth person as killed during WW2? :whistle:
