Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told Donald Trump on Tuesday that his country will never be for sale, shutting down the U.S. president’s repeated calls to make Canada the 51st state.

“There are some places that are never for sale,” Carney said in the Oval Office.

Canada is “not for sale” and “won’t be for sale ever,” the prime minister said.

Trump replied: “Never say never.”

Very interesting thank you. Never would it the wished for a banker as prime minister. But it seems hell just froze over with USA taking a big shit on Canada by openly declaring economic war intending to annexe. But once at war you elect a General ... He won me over on the Colbert report when talking about the 2008 crisis. He didn't let Canadian Banks in on the sub par market because he didn't understand it. Probably because it doesn't make any sense.

”The price is you stepping down and agreeing never to run for any political office under pain of death”

Still wouldn't be worth it. We can't expect Canadians to sacrifice themselves to the shitty US system, even the one without Trump.

Too cheap. It needs to be "the immediate resignation from office of anyone in the US who would want to purchase or otherwise take control of Canadian territory".

Still too cheap. It should be "The complete dissolution of the United States as a singular entity".

It’s not a joke you dumb cunt. It was said with its full intention.

I'd love to be locked in a room with Trump for an hour, he'd survive but I'd tell the world afterwards what his end goal was and every secret he had.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

He doesn't have any secrets, he's literally telling everyone exactly what he intends to do. People haven't been listening.

Trump reading this as: "Canada won't be on sale forever"
