Munk Debate...from Toronto.

Here's what the TO Star had to say, and quite rightly so.

"if we eliminate birthright citizenship, by extension everyone of european stock would cease to be citizens. except maybe those who can prove native north american ancestry."

And isn't it strange how Melania Trump was able to use "chain migration" to bring members of her family to this country?

[11] nypoet: Yeah, that's always been the absurdity of nativism, back to the know-nothings of the mid 1800's. I thought Scorcese did a good job of portraying that sort of blunt bigotry in Gangs of New York. I have to wonder if Trump isn't giving us now a taste of the sort of depths he'll be willing to go to in 2020 to stay in office. Lies, stunts, voter suppression and violence are probably just the teaser reel for the full-on assault on Democratic norms that he and his cronies are likely to bring to the table when the whole shebang is a stake.

"So he decided the next-best thing would be to deny anyone crossing illegally from making an asylum claim. This is very probably also illegal."

For all our pros and cons, To enter Canada illegally is a mandatory one year ban from applying, seeking asylum or obtaining a work permit. Transgressors are immediately deported to the country they were last. I'm cool with that arrangement.

An aside...Did anyone happen to glimpse Oprah's speech before noon in Georgia? It was a tour de-force. She repeated the story about her Pastor's father putting on his Sunday suit and walking to the polling station for hours, only to be told he was in the wrong place. After a days slog, in his Sunday best, he arrives at the polling station only to be told the polls were closed. The poor man passed away before the next chance to vote and therefore died without ever exercising his new-found voting right.

According to Oprah, every time she votes, she votes for him. She poured enough emotion into this tale to convince me to start voting municipally. I very rarely do, here, the city council basically ensures the buses run on time and they aren't allowed to mention the political party to which they identify.

GTFO and vote.

also, why is donald silent on pie? is he waiting until after the election to have pie, or is he having pie in secret while publicly pretending to ignore it. is he going to supply the border agents with pie, or will he make them bake their own? next week, the pie-lent majority will speak.
