MODERATORS
Western capitalists are ironically going to end up as their own strawman of capitalism’s critics: poor-by-choice out of pure laziness.
I see what you did there
Mexico is going to have a fully developed national rail system before the eglinton line is working in toronto
lol the sun will expand and boil off the oceans before the Eglinton station is finished
Western countries so high on their own supply they've completely lost the capability of conducting basic statecraft. Incredible!
truly
The majority of the pond scum who call themselves elites are trust fund brats who were in university during the late 70s and 80s
Their idea of economics is pulled straight from Milton Friedman, their sense of geopolitics is firmly based on Samuel Huntington and their general sense of politics is geared around an undying admiration for Reagan and Thatcher
Also a majority of them are severely lead poisoned, as they get older their bones start to soften and the lead that was deposited in their calcium bonds during childhood is released a second time to wreak havoc on their brains and nervous systems
Astonishing arrogance
Many funny things are happening
In 2018, Ford endorsed the economic policies of the Republican Party and the presidency of Donald Trump in the United States, saying his support for Trump is "unwavering".
Do we have a "leopards ate my face" emote?
The Ford brothers aren't exactly known for being smart or even semi-knowledgable after all.
I mean they certainly know their way around a crack pipe
whomst among us
Rob Ford: "I've got more than enough to eat at home." 
as a non-canadian i know them for drugs and gender violence. i imagine they are worse the more one knows
Ford also described it as being stabbed in the heart by a family member lmfao
Trump probably doesn't even know who he is
There are 3 options
1: Trump has no clue who Ford is (most likely)
2: Trump heard about his crack smoking brother and possibly mistakes Ford for his dead brother
3: Trump mistakes him for a Midwest second-hand pontoon boat dealership owner who he met at the Mar-a-Lago Filet-o-Fish buffet
Gotta love capitalism, outsource production to Mexico so it costs less then put tariffs on the product so they cost the same but we don't benefit from the manufacturing.
You don't understand, people will suddenly buy Amurican made because it's cheaper! :clueless:
Mexico should pull out of NAFTA as a bit.
and join BRICS instead now that there's a huge new port in Peru
lol
Canadians trying to steal Mexican valor.
I think not, Mr Ford.
