We are one Big Mac-invoked stroke away from being able to afford Canadian Peanut Butter again.

Two months later... OK now that Canada is the 51th state (not 51st, 51th)...the official language is English so we are deporting all the French people here illegally to France!

....Canada: ehhh we're still not a US state. WTF is wrong with Trump's dementia pills?

Come to Canada.

Find out.

Everything this man does is what a Russian asset would do to weaken the United States.

Has Canada considered adopting USA as a province? USA seems like it needs help.

To all Canadians, us sane Americans would rather you prefer as you are. This is a concrete example of a "president" that just thinks the way to "lead" is by writing as many executive orders as possible and pressuring other countries to meet ridiculous demands by initiating trade wars and threatening them.

A complete bully.

I know that many Americans don't like this either. But Canada is unable to defend itself against the US military without serious help. And I don't completely trust that a US population that couldn't be bothered to vote against Trump would take any action to stop him if he were to give the order to invade.

He's not a bully.

He's a fascist.

You guys need to get serious about saying, that real fast.

America has a fascist government, and Americans need to figure out how to do something about that.

It took Hitler less than a hundred days to go from elected to dictator. And from there it took less than four years to invade Poland and start WW2.

It's as though Trump think's he's the first person in history to realise that canada has some nice things.

If you have a $200b trade deficit you can just take over that country and then there's no deficit.
