Mfer has united Canada unlike anything in living memory, besides WWII I suppose. Where, by the way, we declared war on Japan immediately after Pearl Harbour, before even the USA did.

Canada joined WW2 on Sept 10, 1939 ... well before Pearl Harbor on Dec 7, 1941.
We were not at war with Japan until Dec 7 1941
Same as Japan didn't join the war until Dec 7, 1941.
Yes, but this is specifically about the declaration of war on Japan. But being pedantic, Canada decided to go to war first, so they were first to act, but the US, Britain, and Canada all declared war on Japan on the same day

Trump, being the failed businessman that he is, works under the delusion that you can treat a country as if it was a company. Just like he tries to make short term gains by randomly firing employees running his government or that he can "fire" people from an ethnicity that he doesn't like by deporting them, he thinks that if he puts a country in a position of financial struggle he can just purchase it for cheap.
He doesn't want to "break" Canadians to destroy our unity. It is far simpler and dumber than that. His "genius" plan is to make a hostile purchase offer.
This assumes he wants the business to succeed, rather than tearing apart its long term international business relationships so that its competitors can dominate the market. Consider that he may have been made the CEO by a hostile company.
That is 100 percent true from Mark.
