I REALLY DON’T LIKE THE TRUMP TARIFFS ON CANADA – SO I’VE WRITTEN:
I’m Also No Fan Of Trump’s Bombastic Approach To Canada – Something Else I’ve Expressed.
As A Matter Of Fact, there is Much About Trump’s Narcissism that is Not Particularly Endearing to my Way of Thinking. But That Said – If I was an American, and Knowing all that I Know Today . . . Would I Vote For Donald Trump If Given The Chance?
The Answer Is Absolutely Yes!
IF I HAD THE ANSWER TO THE FOLLOWING – I’D BE THE SMARTEST MAN ALIVE:
I Have No Idea How The Trump Tariffs Are Going To Be Resolved. I Suspect Things are Going to Get Worse Before they Get Better. And That Goes For Canada Too.
I Also Resent How The American Government Is Treating Canada, Not as Much as a Best Friend & Cherished Neighbor, Which We Are, but More-So as an Alien Nation with Never Before Applied Travel Restrictions on Canadians, who Wish to Visit the United States of America – For More Than 30-Days.
Selfishly . . . This Impacts on Snowbirds Like Anne & Myself, who Have Spent the Last 10-Winters South Of Canada’s Border in the United States of America – Excluding 2-Years Of Covid.
Anne & I Both Realize & Accept That We Are Not American Citizens, and When we Enter the United States of America, we are Guests of America with Limited Rights. But At The Same Time, We Expect to be Treated with Respect and a Modicum of Gratitude for Spending our Time, Energy & Money During Our Stay . . . Which Is Something We Have Always Experienced.
Except for One Border Crossing into the United States at a New York Crossing, out of Many Hundreds of Times we Have Crossed into America, We Have Never Been Treated Rudely At Any Time By Any American Border Guard Or Customs Agent.
And When In The United States Of America, Anne & I Have Never Been Treated Other than we Would Expect to be Treated Anywhere in Canada or Anywhere Else.
I’m Writing This Portion Of This Editorial Because . . . Many if Not all of Canada’s Mainstream Media, with the Help of Canada’s Government, is Making this Big Thing About Warning Canadians to be Very Careful When Visiting the United States of America, As If Canadians Have A Bullseye On Our Foreheads.
Neither Anne Nor I Like This New American Immigration Policy I-94, which Allows us to be in the United States for Longer than 30-Days (But Not More Than 6-Months), which also Requires us to Have a Copy of I-94 on our Possession at all Times While in America.
I Assume The Complexity Of The I-94 Form Will Fall By The Roadside, or the Necessity to Have a Copy of Such on our Possession the Whole Time We are in America, Since This Law & Other New Requirements Are Crippling The Mega-Billion Dollar Canada To America Tourist Business For American Commerce.
In Short . . . These New Seemingly Anti-Canadian Visitor Policies & Tariffs are Killing the Canadian Golden Goose for America.
Either Way . . . Even though Many Canadians Have Cancelled their Planned Trips to America because of these New Travel Laws & Currency Exchange Differences, Many Have Decided to Go Elsewhere for Getaways & Longer Winter Stays . . . But Not Anne & I Who Are Extremely Happy That We Renewed Our 5-Month Stay In Myrtle Beach For This Coming Winter (2025/2026).
BUT THIS IS NOT REALLY WHAT THIS EDITORIAL IS ALL ABOUT:
The World is On Fire & We Need Someone To Fight The Flames.
This Editorial Is All About Why I Would Still Give My 100% Support To Donald Trump, Even with all these Trump Policies that are Not Making-Me Happy.
I Supported Trump Along with More than 77-Million Americans Who Voted For Him In 2024, because the Alternative was Unthinkable . . . And It Still Is.
Even Though I’m Somewhat Pissed-Off At Some Of Trump’s Policies, the Millions of Lunatics who Have Been Taking to the Streets . . . Screaming, Banging Their Drums, Waving Their Hateful Placards & Banners Reminded Me Why Trump Is Essential To Our Freedoms.
THEY SCREAM IN DEFENSE OF DEMOCRACY – THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS:
I Know The LEFT Love To Invoke Hitler & Nazism When Speaking Of Trump & His Supporters . . .
But They Should Look At Themselves Through The Prism Of History. All they Need-Do is Go-Back to the 1920’s – When Nazism was Just Getting Going, even Before they Discovered Hitler (Mein Kampf). They Should also Look at Communist Russia (Marxism) Before Stalin. And then Study-Up-Some on Mao Tseung’s “Great Leap Forward”.
WHAT IS ANYTHING WORTH . . . IF THE COST TO HAVE IT IS FREEDOM?
As Long As Trump Stands Strong Against The Bulwark Of The LEFT, and Recognizes that History is Once Again Knocking on the Door to a Second Holocaust, and Trump Continues to Steadfastly Defend the Right of the Jewish People to Live & Prosper like Anyone Else . . . How Could Any Person Of Good Conscience Not Support Donald J Trump?
REMEMBER . . . FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE JEWS – THE REST IS HISTORY:
The LEFT, Democrats, Globalists, Academics & Corporatists Along with Republicans in the House, Senate & Oval Office . . . Have Raped & Pillaged America for Generations, Going As Far Back As Woodrow Wilson & Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
IF AMERICA FALLS . . . EVERYTHING FALLS – INCLUDING OUR GLOBAL FREEDOMS:
I Am Willing To Suck-It-Up & Take The Pain, When The Alternative Is So Much Worse.
Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

America has fallen. It will remain the power in the west but has lost Asia to China. Even Japan is going economically to China. Just the way it is.
America has NOT fallen. The countries which have been assessing high tariffs on our goods will now have to accept reciprocal tariffs or not do business with us. Already, many countries are calling to alleviate the one sided charges, China included. The CCP will agree to terms because they need us more than we need them. Their economy is in the crapper without the US. Let’s see just how this all falls out.
I think too many people are diving off the proverbial cliff thinking the tariffs are going to ruin the world. Wrong… Why should the USA allow many countries to ship products into our economy without tariffs, yet when we ship products there, they apply tariffs, some of which are quite high. How about a novel idea of ZERO tariffs? Make it fair for everybody. I suspect we’ll see some of this happen which will be good for all consumers – everywhere! Break a few eggs…for an omelet.
Two comments. First, the main reason Canadians are not going to the US as much as in the past is because of our low $. This is not Trump’s fault! It is low because of disastrous Liberal policies! Second, I will ask the same thing of Canadians, how could anyone of good conscience support Carney, the WEF Globalist, Climate Change Cult Apostle! He will continue the carnage bestowed upon us by the Marxist Trudeau over the last 9 years!
I can only laugh and shake my head every time I hear Trump and his supporters being called Nazis. What does it say about these fools that 77 million Americans voted rather for the Nazis than the Democrat Party?
Good point Arnold!
VOTE FOR PIERRE, carney can’t be trusted, too involved with the wef and his personal agenda
In Ontario you’re hated if you say you like Trump. I believe President Trump has a strategic plan for all of North America and I like everything he is doing. Could he be more diplomatic? of course but that’s not his style. I’m going to wait six months to a year by then we’ll know how successful his policies are. In the mean time I like what he’s doing.
So good to read of Canadian feelings here. I grew up knowing that Canada and its people are special to us Americans. We share so many likes and dislikes. Like our past “leaders”, Canada suffered the same with their past “leaders.” And I am for Pierre Poilievre all the way. Canada deserves good leadership, too. Trump’s a guy from Queens, NY, and that means his is a straight talking, little filter kind of guy. But he’s a great leader. We need him.
Tariffs charged to the US (by Cda and others) are “Trump-defined” and include “CURRENCY MANIPULATION” and trade barriers. Is the Cdn dollar manipulated by Bank of Can to 69 cents to US $ to cheat compete with US Co’s OR is Cdn productivity 69% the level of US? I think the former. Is Trump’s angst at Cdn 69 cents $ the result of Carney’s Liberals’ years of low $ manipulation? Fix the $ fix the problem? First though remove the $ manipulating Liberals from Government.
What’s going to happen to Walmart’s consumers and employees, with a 100% tarrif on China ? Do you think Xi is going to kiss the ring ? I doubt it. Rather , I think Xi is capable of creating a new world trade alignment, with other countries / companies , that still want to take advantage of slave labour. Sound familiar ?
Those of us who r staunch independent, Zionist, Baptists have a saying, “If Yisrael falls, the USA falls. If the USA falls, Yisrael falls.” You r correct. The left, demonrats, 1 world govrnmt, academics, corporatists, and greedy so called republicans have pillaged & raped American taxpayers for yrs. History repeats over and over. T’s treatment of Bibi last trip was unwarranted and totally disrespected. T had b careful as G-d is not as forgiving as Bibi is. Evil is upon the USA & Israel.
Trump is the “Art of the Deal”. He negotiates better than anyone. Yes, some Canadians are hurt and/or amazed at the restrictions, for now, but this as to be. This is temporary. Trump has to get the attention of all of Canada as to how bad your gov’t has been under Trudeau. Trump is not after Canadians, but Canadian gov’t like our past administration. Trust him. He will save Canada also
Howard you are absolutely right the second Holocaust was knocking at the door. Trump is giving AMERICAN’S BACK THEIR FREEDOM!! I am with Trump & have been since he said he was running for President. Trump LOVES America & didn’t want to see the DemORates, Rhinos, WEF, China, Russia & many others destroy the BEST country in the World. First they came for the Jews…the rest is History! Israel LIVES! VOTE for Pierre Poilievre. TOO many Drug Labs in ON Canada read Sam Cooper…CCP Narco Net Works
I am not ashamed to say I am a TRUMP Fan. He is playing chess with a bunch of checker players. He knows exactly what he is doing and as some say, he is crude. But he knows where the target is and he will hit it dead center. As for My country, Canada, we need Pollievere as PM. 10 years of Liberals fumbling the ball is just too much.
Dan Bongino now with the FBI says just because there’s no news doesn’t mean nothing is happening.Trump seems to be so calm and collected like he has some good cards to play.Does he have the binder they were looking for in his bedroom or has DOGE uncovered a lot more than they are talking about?We now know that athletes who competed in China in 2019 were coming down with covid like symtoms so who came up with the wet market BS.Stay tuned and grab some popcorn.
I concur with much of your sentiments, I find Trump to be a bit too bombastic for my tastes, but I didn’t help hire him to play nice, rather to keep the train from going over a financial cliff, which is the direction we’re headed; to make an omelet some eggs are going to be broken, ohh well!! I’m rooting for Poileviere because Canada is heading for the same cliff, Pierre is Trump without the bombastic punctuations, you folks have a Winner in that guy!!
