It appears to me that Mark Carney and his Looney-Toon liberal co-conspirators in Canada have slipped a cog. As our Editor Judi McLeod has reported, the Canadian government wants to collect a $500,000 exit tax on anyone wishing to abandon the ever-increasing socialist repression conducted by the Canadian legislature and Carney’s socialist agenda.

The Carney government is holding to the socialist playbook, but instead of constructing a physical fence like those built in Germany and the other Iron Curtain countries to keep their citizens from “escaping,” Carney has constructed the economic Loonie Toonie Curtain to prevent Canadians from escaping his repressive government.

The United States of America is the only nation (except for China) on the planet that has ever had to build a fence to stop a foreign invasion. Carney and many other socialist/communist nations have had to build a fence of some sort to keep their citizens from escaping. Well at least with this move, Carney is acknowledging that he is turning once magnificent Canada into a hole of despair that people want to escape. But rather than being ashamed, he seems to be proud!

I see that Alberta is trying one form of escape, but I’m not exactly clear about how the “Escape Tax” can be enforced. I mean, if a Canadian family came to the United States for an extended vacation, asked for and was granted political asylum and never came back to Canada, what then? Granted the government could confiscate any personal property left behind, but then what?

My guess is that the Trump administration would welcome any Canadians wishing political asylum and were willing to become a productive member of the American culture. And of course, the 51^st state option is still open.
