"I'm Canadian, and the newfound U.S. stance on Russia-Ukraine/EU relations puts an important gloss on U.S. threats to treat the U.S.-Canada border as less than sacrosanct. Violating Canadian / non-U.S. citizens' rights in property or contract is hardly a massive reach when Trump can't go a day without describing Canada as the 51st state. And these aren't isolated incidents either."

Please just know that the vast majority of Americans Love Canada, respect it's sovereignty and do not agree one iota with what is going on right now! In fact, I'm going to take it a step further..... I do not know one person (and trust me, I know a lot of Trumpers) that has verbally shown support for Trump on this issue. For the most part his base is confused on the subject. On what possible grounds could someone literally say "oh yeah Trump's on the mark on this issue". Do you remember how much this was discussed during the campaign? No you don't, that's because never once was the idea of Canada becoming the 51st state discussed! Same goes for Greenland and the Panama Canal. In fact he branded himself as the anti war candidate. The one that was going to end all our overseas excursions and yet he's unwilling to take military options off the table against our long standing allies no less!!

This is all a joke. Canada's ripping us off (on the very deal he negotiated which is basically no different than the NAFTA that was there before it). I mean I can't believe that Canadians aren't foaming at the mouth of the idea of becoming the 51st state after such a well executed courtship has been implemented by his Orangeness. My god has this world gone nuts!
