Bye bye Merkel..... bye bye Macroni...... bye bye liberal provincial premiers . Our dear leader is losing a lot of friends and allies very quickly and seems to not even notice. If China decides to retaliate against us for the Huawei arrest he won’t know what to do.

India will protect Trudeau against the Chinese

It is not like Canada has any tanks or a real navy.

It does have an air farce.

Why would they have an army or a navy? They have big brother US for the messy stuff. :P

"Brother US" has its own issues. To expect it to do this is unreasonable. Candidate Trump rightly called them out.

It was a joke, come on.
