[Rubio] even gave a little inside information on how the whole "Canada as the 51st state" idea came to be. Justin Trudeau told Trump during a meeting that if our trade relationship was balanced, Canada would not exist. "Well, if you can't exist without cheating and trade, then you should become a state," was Trump's response. Fair point.

Fair point.

Only as a joke in a private conversation.

Now it’s set off a trade war.

You think Canada or any NATO country will ever again send troops to die in our wars?

And since Rubio who was quite recently an advocate for USAID, a staunch supporter of Ukraine and enemy of authoritarian Russia, has now revealed his former self or his current self to be a craven liar, why should we believe him in a matter where he himself was not even present?

"Well, if you can't exist without cheating ………

Says the guy who stole money from his own charity.

Justin does make a fair point as there is always an imbalance, but we need Canada's oil - and cheaper by the way, not more expensive. Now Canadians refer to us as the 11th province. Having oil is not cheating or Texas has been cheating all this time. Trump loves the Saudi and Russian cheaters. We've had tariffs as protection. We put tariffs on sugar cane to protect farmers that were growing corn for corn syrup. it takes a bit of tariffs to trigger off the economic chaos, but we're doing several things known to have some bad effects simultaneously. Crossing my fingers.
