As Canadians watched a day of considerable political turmoil for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his government given the sudden departure of Chrystia Freeland on Monday, it appears that U.S. president-elect Donald Trump was also watching it unfold.
“The Great State of Canada is stunned as the Finance Minister resigns, or was fired, from her position by Governor Justin Trudeau,”
“Her behavior was totally toxic, and not at all conducive to making deals which are good for the very unhappy citizens of Canada,” Trump continued, ending his post with: “She will not be missed!!!”
The problem with him is that he doesn’t uphold his agreements. Combine that with him thinking that the President is King and the US is an extension of himself means that you can no longer trust the US to uphold its agreements. So, no we are no longer allies in any way that you can count on. I’d suggest that Canada pay lip service to the “allies” bit, but not count on it in any way.
Given who the US allies with, you might want to take the opportunity and join the right side of history as a nation and isolate yourselves from the US.

I have to give myself daily reminders that the US and Canada are still allies, despite him acting this way.
We should constantly refer to him as Lt Gov.

It’s kinda hard to isolate outselves from the US when we share a 5500 mile long land border.
Like it or not, they’re always going to be an outsized factor of life here.
