Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told Donald Trump on Tuesday that his country will never be for sale, shutting down the U.S. president’s repeated calls to make Canada the 51st state.

“There are some places that are never for sale,” Carney said in the Oval Office.

Canada is “not for sale” and “won’t be for sale ever,” the prime minister said.

Trump replied: “Never say never.”

    Wimpy sat there, too stupid to know he got insulted, and too scared to use his big boy voice. He only does that shit when he’s backed up by his homies or alone at a mic at a rally.

    Literally stared at the carpet. You could see the gears turning, but the only thing really going through his mind was that he wanted a hamburger. And maybe a diaper change.

      And let’s not forget our health care. We may have challenges, but Canadians aren’t losing their homes and/or life savings because of medical emergencies. I dislocated and broke my arm last year from a bad fall. Long wait at emergency, but once x-rays were done and I saw a doctor, surgery was scheduled quickly. Total bill: $0.00

        and the important thing about the wait times: they may be annoying, but they’re never life or health threatening… triage exists

        (i assume; i’ve never used the canadian health system)

          I went in for chest pains at the end of last year, I was shocked at how fast I was seen. Once they established I wasn’t dying, I had a pretty long wait but overall service was really good and I paid nothing.

          Well, not nothing, I’ve paid taxes my whole life. But I doubt I’ve paid the 6 figures amount that would’ve cost me in the US even if you add all my lifetime taxes together and during that time I still drove on roads and stuff.

          Socialized medicine isn’t just a better option, it’s the only moral choice.

    Trump, a convicted rapist and felon with little education and a history of bankrupting everything he touches, thinks he’s going to out maneuver Carney, a man who’s highly educated, has run the bank of Canada, the Bank of England, and sat on the board of Brookfield, a company worth……over $900 US billion. Yeah, whatever.

    Trump doesn’t even know when he’s being insulted, but nods and agrees.

    OK Trump, time for a diaper change, warm bottle and a nap ya stupid fuck.

    Carney also called him a “transformational president” who “revitalized international security” and Trump nodded “it’s true!” because he’s too stupid to realize it wasn’t a compliment.

      Carney used “tranformational” twice, then Trump tried to use it but lost his train of thought.

      That was the end of my watching tv cause my head hurt from his utter fucking stupidity.

        Carney does like that word a lot, although not nearly as much as “if I may”
