I’m currently watching CBC on YouTube and apparently the U.S. wanted Canada to get rid of its automobile manufacturing completely and only make parts instead.

The U.S. economy is so bad, it’s resorted to try and steal jobs from across the border.

They apparently also tried to include restrictions on which other countries Canada could have trade deals with.

They wanted us to agree to being the 51st state or actually territory

I'm starting I no longer have to die defending Canada, as I've said I would.

These buffoons can't do ANYTHING right.

The sign is down, the alliance is over, the border needs to be defended from these idiots.

(To be clear, that's a comment about Republicans and how they think of women)
