          My 85 year old German mother-in-law (born in 1939 and moved to Canada around 1960), suggested the same thing.

          (PS I’m an American living in Canada)

            During his first term at the gym this little old lady was working out on the treadmill next to me and when Kelly Ann Conway came on the tv, she leans over and goes, oh that lady shouldn’t be alive. (paraphrasing to not get banned)

              Canadian here, the health care is useable. It keeps being underfunded atleast here in Ontario but you can get it with no cost… just be prepared to wait in ER.

                If you can wait in an ER there are people that have it worse… proper distributed healthcare outside hospitals would dramatically reduce this issue, GPs handle so much that the US handles through emergency rooms.

        Expand the Supreme Court to 200 people, appoint the most progressive persons out there. Federally legalize marijuana and drop all restrictions on it. Forgive all student and medical debt. Raise the federal minimum wage to $30/hr. Tax all rental income at 4,000%.

        Sure it would probably all get undone before the Toupee hit 100 days in office, but what a sweet couple months that would be.
