    As an American, I would like to know what he thinks we have been giving them. Cause I can’t think of any.

        Which is also a complete lie. The ‘surplus’ is Canadian crude oil being imported by American oil companies, refined and then exported at high profit. Canada is actually getting screwed. It would be a trade deficit if the taps stopped, and is another example of how a US benefit of Free Trade is being misrepresented to the MAGA cult by the US regime. Once the investments are in place to repatriate oil processing, I expect Carnie will be discussing the need to turn off the taps. I am not sure if retrofitting old refineries would accelerate the process as it would take at least a decade to build from new. In any case, it would freak out the Koch family (one of the families that actually run the US), so I expect there is a full strategy being developed and played out.

      We get a LOT of mail-order boner-pill ads on mid-evening television. And all our shooting deaths are with guns smuggled over the border. So there’s that…

      Just kidding. That one time America became the only country to activate article 5, word is all the yanks forced to land in our maritimes we’re super nice.
