      That's a good thing. But it misses the point. Canada and other NATO countries can't spend very little on their national defense and let the USA carry the load. Your country is not prepared for a major war. We are.

        Yawn. A mandate that is unenforceable. No teeth.

          Well Your really going to be impressed with President Biden Stay tuned Tick Tock

            How does one get to the point where you idolise a person who claims to be a great businessman, but has been bankrupt multiple times, who has contractors build things for him and then refuse to pay them, who sanctions children being separated from their parents and put into cages, etc

              Who said it's unenforceable? Federal Gov has lots of tools
              Why do think it's 21 in every state before you can drink.
              Why does every state required seat belts.

                Simple. I compare it to the idolization of Obama who was nothing more than a mere community organizer.

                    The only people that I know and have known since before ACA was passed are paying many times as much for health insurance as they were before. That includes low income individuals who are now having to pay for their states version of Medicaid through the ACA exchanges which they used to get for free through the welfare office.

                    As for universal health care, you are forgetting about the death, I mean services approval, boards. There are people who used to come to the US from Canada to get elective procedures dome that in Canada they would have to wait months sometimes years to get approved for in Canada because Canada rationed those procedures and would not allow self pay.

                        With you is it, "what have you done for me lately" ?
                        By the way, we also took in your people when the Twin Towers were brought down.

                          They actually lock folks up unlike liberal cities where they allow BLM and Antifa protesters to break the law.

                              Trudeau promised to spend 2% on Canada's national defense. Do what you say you're gonna do. Do the right thing. Simple as that.

                                ... no, you will just be denied access to an increasing range of goods and services. You will also feel social pressure to conform while constantly be reminded that your selfish behavior is putting your loved ones at risk.

                                ... after a month most people will just give up their objections and accept it. You are living in a pandemic, wearing a mask will significantly reduce the chances of you and others near you getting infected.
