It’s blatant extortion now.

    According to the US Supreme Court, a US president cannot be prosecuted for crimes (if they’re related to their official duties, but whatever goes, I guess). This means that Canada is faced with the fact that they’re being attacked by a foreign power with a ruler not beholden to the rule of law. If they give in, they’re going to be conquered by a king who is not bound by a national constitution, legislative body, nor courts. This is an existential threat to their freedom as individuals with rights.

      If they give in

      lol, no. The US are about to rediscover why Canadians were so feared in the world wars. Canada literally exists because we didn’t want to be part of the US. If you want Washington burned down a second time, keep at it.

    I honestly hope this just fuels our country to find other, better, trade partners and to also bring in free trade between provinces.

    He says the US doesn’t need Canada, we should do the same.

    What I read in the article was this. There is going to be a war between the US and Canada. Trump didn’t say that, Trudeau said it.

    All I see Trump saying, is that the US does not need items from Canada, if the US is losing money in the process. He also said it would be great if Canada joined the US.
