    > 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.

      I try not to take anything Trump say too seriously, but we have to remember that the USians chose him... twice.

        Why would you not take him seriously?

          Because we have decades of evidence to show that he's incredibly stupid?
