It would all be so funny if it weren't so deadly serious.

When this started, you could hear cynical Republicans going 'well, that's just Trump being Trump. He's playing five-dimensional chess to get a good deal.'

No, he's not. He's a fucking moron who doesn't know how anything works and doesn't give a flying flamingo what you pay for eggs -- or anything else about you, either. And he means to destroy Canada, retake the Panama Canal, annex Greenland and make Vladimir Putin great again.

And those Republicans are just cowards and wormtongues.

I would like to thank Prof. Snyder for defending us Canadians. This essay is one I will read again and again. Some days, I can only take comfort in remembering that the Canadians burnt down the White House the last time the Americans invaded Canada. I also take comfort when I shop for groceries, everyone in the store is looking at labels and putting down American produce/products, even something like four stems of spring onions. We feel truly insulted and angry.
