    > 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.

      It's pretty much the exact same playbook that Russia used against Ukraine.

        Fortunately the US already fails in its first special military operation in Iran, so it cannot launch a second one in Canada to protect the English speaking population in Canada.

          Why not?

          I say this as a Canadian who wishes nothing but failure for the US's military misadventures: Iran is a totally different situation. The inability for the US navy to effectively project power thousands of miles from the US says nothing about its ability to wage a land war close to home.
