Do Canadians not also think that if you represent yourself as being Native American (as Elizabeth Warren has done), when in fact you are not, then you are a fake?

I read your post to mean that if she was more Cherokee Canadians would want her as president.

I don't know who Elizabeth Warren is, but this is a joke, right?


Considering the 10 X worse character that's presently filling the job I think that's ironic. Talk about double standards.

Can't be bothered, it's a moot point and not important enough to me.


If you are not Canadian then I think you aren't gaining much credibility for yourself by attempting to speak on behalf of the Canadians that were asked the question.

The original question matters no more than "Who do Americans want to be the Canadian Prime Minister?" would. Which means it's a moot point. Canadians don't vote in US elections nor have input to our government any more than Americans have in Canada.

I've always found it somewhat interesting that non-Americans think they should have, bordering on demands, input about our government but get incensed if Americans opine on their country's issues.

Giffords is a Democrat. She is no longer in the House of Representatives.

Does that matter if someone is running for election to the presidency? Was Trump ever in the House of Representatives?
