I don't know about anyone else but the presser with the Canadian PM and Trump today was sickening and

embarrassing. Trump is not only a buffoon, he is an ignorant buffoon. Everyone seated in that room with any self esteem or concern for this country should have left the room before the idiot was finished. I will excuse the Canadian PM as he was a guest with good manners. I hope he give a presser alone and blasts the sitting buffoon.

Respectful to our PM and disrespectful to facts and near the end his words became menacing. PM Carney is respectful always and while made it perfectly clear that Canadians outright reject his 51st state, he is a guest in the white house. Trump is outright lying on trade numbers and we, here, all know it, it is the Trump and his supporters who don’t seem to know the reality of the numbers and reality on the ground.

Supposedly a province can secede and the GOP is hoping for another red state we'd need Puerto Rico to balance it out. But that is the angle going on with this, bombast and not mentioning the real goal.

As long as I have been alive there has been talk about western separatists or Quebec separatists. It raises its ugly head now and then. Alberta has about 25% (I think it is a lot lower than claimed) who say they want that province to separate. The Premier is like a female Trump (big mouth low intelligence conspiracy theorist) and is using this talk of separation as a deflection of 3 major investigations into her corruption.

We have much different agreements with First Nations here and they have the power to stop any attempt at succession and they have made it very clear to all, they are not willing to play her stupid games.

He said, in his polite Canadian way, that he was thankful that Trump has made Canada attend to its own security and made NATO stronger than ever.

He's not negotiating. He's giving Donnie rope, scoping out the situation, and showing Americans that Canada is run by a likeable and respected grown-up. Don't make Trump's mistake of thinking Carney's calm and polite nature is weakness.

his segment on that presser. He has a very different take on it than I am seeing here, and I tend to agree with it. Carney's facial expressions ("I hope you couldn't tell what I was thinking", he said later at his own presser. Maybe not, but a pretty good guess!). "Canada's owners say "NOT FOR SALE" (no, orange, he was not talking developers). "Countries reassessing their security needs" directly aimed at agolf shitler.

Lawrence's comments about the "interview" with kristin welker also interesting.

Although, with a "normal" U.S. President certainly would be expected and in keeping with good relations, the fact that the psychopathic mobster criminal holding office has been quite public about his ignorant ideas as regards Greenland, Canada etc.

It seems like Canada is going to have to brace itself from serious hostile attacks from the U.S.?

When I think of how all of this could have been prevented 4 +years ago.......
