www.ctvnews.ca
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.

    CTV changed the title after this was posted. This was the original title.

    I believe the full(er) quote is “not a snowball’s chance in hell.”

      Maybe with climate change and everything else going on in the world, the second part feels redundant.

      I still contend that British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California should become their own country. Our own country.

      I’m not sure that I would invite SoCal, but there they are. Don’t want to overcomplicate things.

    I think Donald should read some history about why Canadian soldiers were the cause of a lot of the clauses in the Geneva Convention.

      He might also read some history about what Canadians did to the house he’s about to move back into a while ago.

      Not that he reads. Maybe Fox can do a special on it.

    I have a feeling Putin is putting expansionist ideas in Trump’s head so he’ll have the US tied up in a land war with our neighbors and anyone that comes into power after Trump will have the home front to deal with so they can’t interfere in Europe as Putin expands further there.
    China would have reason to work him as well to keep our attention off of Taiwan.

    He’s probably just making these take over suggestions to get his bat shit crazy constituents okay with the concept, in preparation for his aggressive support of Russia’s attempted take over of Ukraine.

    Like Mordo, Putin has I’m sure reminded Trump The bill comes due

      He thinks it’s “being tough”. He doesn’t realize that it’s not him other nations respect or fear, but the United States. It’s the position that matters and what the US can do.

      It’s like the old cartoon joke of a character scaring off an attacker but not realizing there is a monster behind them.
