It's time for Canada and to step up its game. How much would it cost to get one of these to go north? What would you pay?

No, we should not be rioting. That would give T an excuse for riot suppression. Rioting would meet with disapproval & increase T approval rating. We have to wait until Moderate Republicans join us, or the next election. Once we have the House back, (& Senate, with luck) we have more clout.

I have a bumper sticker that says "I bought this before Elon went crazy," and I plan to de-badge it, but it's paid for and was going to be my last car. What am I supposed to do?
