Question: Comment: Confederate statues are monuments to traitors to the United States of America. Let's not even bring up the fact they were also fighting to keep a race of people enslaved. Any citizen can fly the Confederate flag at their house (even as dumb as that is), but there should NOT be any state or federal statues to a regime which tried to destroy the United States, and led to hundreds of thousands of people dying.

Answer: Non-threat

Question: Comment: "Canada may end up being just a large Puerto Rico"
This is one of the most inane posts I have ever read.
Puerto Rico is part of the U.S., Canada is a sovereign country.
Puerto Rico is a small island. Canada is world's second largest country by size.
Canada is the 10th largest economy in the world, Puerto Rico #60.
Puerto Rico has had negative economic growth for nine of the last ten years, dwindling population, massive economic problems.
With 4.2 projected growth this year, Canada leads the G-7.
It's like comparing the muscle strength of my grandmother to the entire New England Patriots team.
Unbelievable. Your statement makes rational discussion impossible.
