> US President Donald Trump earlier called the idea "laughable" and threatened "very serious tariffs" on Europe if he considered it a "hostile act".
So if Canada tries to make friends with anyone other than the US, it's a hostile act?
Makes it all the more obvious that USA is Canada's abusive partner, that they should have broken up with a long time ago.

    They're not even hiding it any more. Look who paid for one of his sons wedding...

    This was such a weird gesture. Why did they need anyone to pay for the wedding and why did it have to be someone with ties to Putin?
