Canadian MP says law prevents Canada from having a "sexual abuser" as leader

'Canada has something called democracy,' the member of Parliament explained in a post to X. 'It means the leader is accountable to Parliament and can be replaced.'

'I bet Americans wish they had that now. And convicted sexual abusers don't get to lead our nation. We're decent folk,' he added in reference to the allegations against the president-elect.

Thats freaking hilarious; Trump being trolled on his own crimes. This article also has the Premier of Ontario offering to buy Alaska & Minnesota.

Oh yeah? What about the tetrawatts of cheaper electric powerlines?

Plus, there are issues with millions of retirees depending on the Canada Pension Plan to survive, as they never paid a penny into the United States Social Security in their entire life. Who's going to send them SS checks (or direct deposits) if they never paid a buck for it, uh? Sexual abuser moron??

Oh, you don't give a f about poor old people, everybody knows that, asshole! They can all die starving and freezing to death, right?

Yet, here we are, the U.S., supposed beacon of democracy and justice. We have elected an adjudicated sexual abuser and a convicted felon to the highest office in the land. This country is a disgrace. All thanks to MAGA.
