    If that dick sucker gets back in we are closing our borders so fucking fast. Also Canada is part of the British commonwealth so we know what side the UK will be on if this idiot tries anything.

      Unfortunately closing our borders doesn’t mean anything when we share the longest undefended border in the world.

      There are a literal shit ton of places to just walk across (or 4x4) without anyone knowing … and that sucks in this context. :/

        … and even just economically, AFAIK we have treaties we would have difficulty getting out of; such as to provide them with water. We ship a lot of our raw resources (beef, lumber) down to them only to buy back finished goods, stuff like that. Canada will be in a real jam if we feel a need to distance ourselves properly from the USA.

          Trump had no problem breaking treaties on a whim the last time.

          I don’t imagine he wouldn’t continue doing that if the idea randomly popped into his head (or was placed there).

            Indeed, and we might need to be ready to play some hardball ‘tit for tat’ if it comes to it. However we’ve always been ‘the mouse’ to their ‘elephant’ so that might not be feasible.
