    > 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.

      Carney has extremely strong support amongst the general public in Canada which hasn't been the case for the Canadian PM over the past 20+ years.

      158 Canadian soldiers died defending the United States at the US's request after 9/11. Canadian fighter jets helped to patrol the skies in the US at the US's request after 9/11.

      The insults coming from the US Secretary of Defence and President are not unnoticed. They are logged and remembered.
