Who is this guy? Whoever he is, I don't think his grandiose ideas would play well at The Legion on Saturday night.
As for being friends with The United States of America is concerned....part of real friendship is being able to say frankly when one thinks a friend has gone off the rails. The current American administration has gone off the rails, and most of the world recognizes that fact, as well as the fact that the American Congress is also off the rails, imbued in its own Disney-like fantasy of how the world was meant to be. Canada is doing nobody any favours by sucking up to this fantasy, and the best thing we can do is tell them with great affection that they're out to lunch.
