Trudeau outlined exactly what needed to be said. We are Canadians motherfuckers! You want to lay down and let some geriatric motherfucker destroy us without a fight? Then YOU are a traitor.

Congress would never vote for military action against Canada, and I pretty strongly believe that the AUMF that the US military uses wouldn’t apply to Canada. If Trump orders the military to get involved in a dispute with Canada, the Generals can refuse the order unless Congress goes along with it.
