Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said 'there isn't a snowball's chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States,' on the same day U.S. president-elect Donald Trump declared that he's open to using 'economic force' to acquire Canada.
In the past, Trump has accused Canada of accepting a $100-billion subsidy from the United States. It’s unclear exactly what he is referencing, but it may refer to the trade deficit between the two countries.
But on Tuesday, that purported $100-billion subsidy rose to $200 billion. CTVNews.ca has reached out to Trump’s media office to clarify what the $200-billion figure represents.
“I love the Canadian people, they’re great,” he said. “We’re spending hundreds of billions a year to take care of Canada. … We can’t do it forever.”

maybe, just maybe, take a firearms safety course and PAL, and buy a gun if you are really scared, but Id suggest just finding better things to spend time on than worrying about how stupid amorphous strangers on the other side of the continent/world are being
It’s fascinating rhetoric if he is talking about the trade deficit. It really speaks to his habitual refusal to pay for products and services rendered.

Last time they lived in a world of alternate facts, is it so hard to believe that they’ve evolved into alternate reality?
They are looking more and more like Russia every day,
I’m not gonna last another four years of this insanity…
That’s their goal, don’t give up.
