what all of a sudden Trudeau is on your side -- you stupid Canadians wake the fuck up, All Canada has to do is lower its tariffs to the USA and bam its reciprocal.

Hes still the same fucking liar as he always been -- none of those things are true but if you believe them then judgment is coming for you and you will not Escape.
