Canada To Build Wall Along Its Border With The U.S.

TORONTO, Canada (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) – Donald Trump’s campaign promise of building a great wall along the U.S.-Mexican border is being matched by Justin Trudeau. The Canadian prime minister today announced that Canada will build a wall along its southern border with the United States.

The Canadian government’s announcement came just a day after Tuesday’s U.S. elections in which Trump was elected the 45th president.

Since Trump was announced the winner in the presidential contest, tens of thousands of Americans have started to act on their promise to move to Canada if Trump were elected. Last night, the Canadian immigration website crashed due to unprecedented visits, mostly from U.S. citizens.

Fearing that that Canada will be overwhelmed by Americans fleeing the U.S., Trudeau said that his government has decided to build a wall all along the U.S.-Canada border.

But unlike Trump’s plan, Trudeau said that Canada will pay for the building of the wall. (Trump has said that Mexico will pay for the southern border wall.)

Meanwhile, pro-Clinton Californians are pressuring Governor Jerry Brown to make good on his promise that if Trump is elected, he will build a wall around the entire state of California.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – They promised, and they delivered. Thousands of Americans who had promised to leave the country if Donald Trump were elected president flew out of various international airports in the U.S. the day after Tuesday’s elections.

The airport authorities in Washington Dulles Airport, San Francisco International Airport, LAX, and Chicago’s O’Hare seemed to have prepared for the eventuality. International flights were allowed to take off simultaneously (see photo), with the expert guidance of control tower personnel who were asked to report on a 24-hour schedule.

Airport authorities told The Adobo Chronicles that majority of the flight destinations of passengers escaping the Trump victory included Canada, EU nations, Australia, Japan and the Philippines.

More flights have been added by the airlines to accommodate the sudden exodus or American-born as well as naturalized citizens.

The Clintons were not among those who fled the country.

Why The Alleged Plot Of FilAms Organizing To Unseat President Duterte Is Nothing But A Hollywood Myth

November 6, 2016 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

HONOLULU, Hawaii (The Adobo Chronicles, Honolulu Bureau) – The latest bombshell announced by Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Dueterte was a supposed plot by Filipina American millionaire Loida Nicolas-Lewis and Hungarian American billionaire George Soros to unseat him, a plan that was apparently being hatched by Filipino Americans.

While the revelation was understandably upsetting to many Filipinos and Filipino Americans, an investigative research by The Adobo Chronicles’ interns shows that the plan was more of a myth.

The investigation clearly showed that despite Nicolas-Lewis’ millions of dollars to possibly finance the plan, it wasn’t enough to stage the unseating of Duterte which could only come in the the form of a “coup” or an EDSA-style people power.

First of all, the alleged plan couldn’t be hatched or carried out in the U.S. since it would require an overwhelming, if not totally united, support from the more than 3 Million Filipinos living in America.

We can’t even count how many Filipino organizations there are in America, each having their own agenda, political leaning and what not. Even coalitions of FilAm organizations are no where close to representing the majority of Filipinos in America. We have women’s organizations, LGBT organizations, regional organizations, university alumni organizations and what not. They could never agree on anything.

And how exactly will FilAms launch a coup from the U.S. ? A million march in Washington, D.C.?

More like several hundreds, our researchers pointed out.

And Duterte will be watching it live on CNN (assuming it’ll even cover it) from Davao City and saying to himself, ‘Those sons and daughters of a wh*res!”
