Canada has never been any kind of relative to America.

Merely a good neighbor.

One of the things that gets me is why President Polk didn't squeeze more concessions from the British/Canada. The St. Lawrence River should be the NE boundary of the U.S., with Nova Scotia and Newfoundland U.S. states.

Not always a good neighbor.

The people in the Toronto area were Revolutionary War emigres from the United States. When the US invaded that part of Canada it was expected that they might just flip Canada into another US territory. A demolition charge set by the retreating British forces may have changed history.

“Canada has never been any kind of relative to America.

English Canada was born of the same values as the United States.

Louisiana has kinship with Quebec although i suspect even they can hardly understand them.

It would be kind of silly if Trudean shot his country in the foot by not agreeing to a separate free trade deal with the USA over mere globalist printable. I mean what on earth do you think your gaining?

That said this is situated upon the believe that Trudean thinks, his praise of the burtial dictator Castro doesn’t seem to jive with that hypothesis.

We should feel sorry for our Canadian brothers and maybe try to help them.
