The Prime Minister made the comments at a gathering of business and labour leaders aimed at brainstorming ways to boost Canada’s economy in the face of U.S. protectionism

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told an economic summit on Friday that he believes U.S. President Donald Trump is sincere in his desire to annex Canada and that this stems from the American leader’s interest in gaining access to this country’s critical minerals, a source said.

Mr. Trudeau made the comments to an audience of about 200 business leaders, trade experts and union executives in Toronto who have gathered to map out ways to boost economic growth and attract new capital investment in the face of the looming threat of U.S. protectionism.

Mr. Trump has repeatedly proposed to Canada in recent months that it could avoid tariffs if it agreed to a political union with the United States. He has mockingly referred to Mr. Trudeau as the governor of the 51st state.

      Lot of night trench raid with home made weapon like spiked club and shive. grenade catapult and pipe bomb also lot of fun killing prisonner of war ( we did not take any ) by beating them to death in place of shooting them .

      The non respect of live and let live ( you only attack if ordered ) and non respect of truce and using it to get closer before killing enemy

      At least one time throwing canned beef to starving ferman soldier and when they ask for more throwing grenade

      And that only some of the WW1
