Donald Trump said Tuesday that Canada will have to pay US$61 billion to be part of his “Golden Dome” space-based missile defence plan — but would pay nothing if it becomes part of the U.S., a message he claimed to have “told Canada” himself.

      Pretty sure this visit was a regularly scheduled one, seen as he hasn’t been here since his coronation.

      But hey, keep thinking everything is about the orange magat.

        Ton of canadian was arguing that the “king” coming was sending a strong message to trump on social media. I didn’t make it about trump, it’s people defending having a useless king who did make it about the orange magat.

          And you are amplifying that. Want to fight that narrative? Stop perpetuating it.
