And if Canada doesn't either take away the grenade or get out of the room, we'll be the victim in the closest proximity.

I've been comparing him to a toddler playing with a live grenade in a crowded room. Some of the people want to take away the grenade, the rest just give him a lollipop with every tantrum. Eventually they run out of lollipops and the toddler pulls the pin.

This person gets it. All of this is about possessing Canada. In Trump's 'mind' Canada cannot exist as a sovereign state. We need to stop giving this man an inch. #BoycottUSA #cdnpoli
The argument Donald Trump is making is that Canada will be annexed, either by China or the United States.
And thatβs why he believes trading with China means China can cancel the Stanley Cup or whatever.
Itβs an ultimatum: βCanadian independence cannot exist, choose us as your master.β
Fuck you.

You can't negotiate with a person like Trump, he lies and breaks treaties. You can't appease him, because he'll always come back and demand more. All you can do with an abuser like him, is stand up and fight back. Britain is finding out. Mexico will find out.

Holding off on making a decision on this is a political play but the longer it goes on, the harder it is to pull away. I'm really unimpressed, right now.

That so many Canadians get their nose out of shape over the term "ice hockey" when Trump attempts to steal half of a +$6bln toll bridge that we 100% paid for, makes me question their seriousness. #cdnpoli

That you think the clear fuck up here is "ice hockey" and not the attempt to steal half of an +$6bln bridge that we paid for gives me pause.

That's how the Christian nutters worm their way in, municipal councils, school boards, library boards. Then they go to work, book banning, banning pride, exclusionary policies from sports to rainbow cross walks. Then the fascism creeps out from there.
