    > 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.

      If your ex starts dating your best friend directly after breakup, would you consider it a hostile act?
