Canada arrests Huwawei CFO for extradition to the States & this is how Trump repays us

Manufacturing giant 3M says the White House has requested it cease exports of U.S.-made N95 face masks to Canada:

Canada does not make N95 masks. The U.S. does but Trump does not want to supply them to Canada, leaving us to deal with - guess who? Oh yeah that's right, the very same country we just sabotaged relations with.

Way to throw your neighbors under the bus, Mr Trump.

We know he does not represent the majority of Americans who voted Democrat. Any liberal minded Canadian knows that Biden would be so much better for U.S. - Canada relations.

I understand the need for American companies to give priority to American citizens, but to completely cut off an ally who bent over backwards in the name of US-Canada relations and who has no domestic source for masks - not even at 3M's plant in Peterborough, Ontario... well the less said about Mr Trump's cognitive abilities the better.

For the world leaders getting together and laughing at him. To me it seemed Trudeau took point on laughing at dear leader.

As long as he keeps appeasing Vladimir Poutine and throwing his allies under the bus.

Withholding crucial medical aid to Dem governors thereby jeopardizing their entire State's population simply for not kissing his ass is proof in the pudding.

I can sing O’ Canada really well.

We’ll even pay for the extra seats to be added to Parliament.

Please, I beg you.

If it were up to me I'd admit every last liberal/progressive-minded American tired of the spray-tanned Mussolini to Canada and give them Canadian citizenship.

It would be a win-win scenario for us:

-Trump shakes the tree and we collect the apples (America's best & brightest) making Canada stronger

-Increase the size of the progressive voter base maintaining Canada's liberal/progressive dynasty for generations to come

-Increased tax revenue (due to having more citizens) to further improve our health care, social programs and infrastructure

Failing all that, then I'd say the best option would be to flush the orange turd in november , and likewise we'll do our best to keep Canada progressive to ensure the future relationship between our two great countries looks something like this:


Just like it did for that one glorious year between october 2015 & november 2016:
