that canada deserves special treatment? why?
because (some of) canada is english-speaking? because it used to be mostly white?
hispanics are a substantive part of the american tapestry, and spanish-american colonies make up a tremendous portion of the united states, including the heavily populated states of california, texas and florida. mexico is a larger trade partner with the united states than canada is and trades in actual goods, whereas canada, which is a corrupt petrostate, sells little besides oil and some other raw commodities of marginal importance.
ford's racist comments are actually entirely correct: canada is not as important to the united states as mexico is. we're not in the same category as they are at all. if i can be joan rivers for a minute; canada, you're no mexico. we're the lesser and least important partner in the trilateral agreement, and by a substantive margin.
ford needs to clear his eyes of the racist bullshit and see the truth.
