That's two in a row! And apparently Australians didn't like their tRump lite candidates either!

The unfortunate reality is that Peter Dutton was running on a similar platform to the Conservatives in Canada, looking towards the future, lower cost of living, lower taxes, giving private industry the ability to succeed. Just like Canada, all these concerns were forgotten and the overriding conclusion was we need more government not less to deal with Trump. 10 years of more government under Trudeau in Canada has done nothing but stall economic growth. I expect more of the same.

While the US goes in the opposite direction. What a recipe for disaster.
At least we still have the option of being the 51st state. Australia doesn't even have that offer on the table.

Oz trades with China and Asia primarily.
I'd like to Mallie's options on that situation.

Here's another one that depends a lot on ag trade to China.

Was that you at the Alberta rally yesterday with the Stars and Stripes A5?

You can join the US anytime you want! What are you waiting for?

Of course you would rather be governed by Trump. He is your kind of leader that best suits your values!

This thread title reminded me of this

A5, Clown World suits your demeanor and provides your inspiration no doubt!

But you weren't at the rally?

[AlbertaFarmer5]

I doubt you were aware of this chuck. But this is the season where farmers are busy seeding. Not a lot of time for rallies.

How is planting progressing on the ChuckChuck farm? Have you finished the kitchen floor yet and moved on to the living room?

[chuckChuck]

Making good progress!

So if you are so busy, what are you doing with such quick replys to every post?
