Canada believes Donald Trump is no longer interested in turning it into the 51st state, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Tuesday.

Asked by CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on the sidelines of the NATO meeting in the Netherlands whether Trump is still saying he wants to annex Canada, Carney replied, “No, he is not.”

“He admires Canada,” Carney told Amanpour. “I think it’s fair to say, maybe for a period of time (he) coveted Canada.”

    I’m not doing that.

    Staying quiet because it will make daddy angry to talk about it is still abuse.

    Toddlers also have to learn object permanence and that the world will still talk about toys, even if they don’t have any. People will bring the annexation threats up, because it was top of mind and, quite frankly, scary for us for a few months.

    And we’re allowed to do that.

    If Trump can be laughed at by literally the entire UN in 2018, he can withstand some talk of what he himself brought about.

    Despite the jokes and fitting comparisons, Donald Trump is not a child, he is an adult, and must (not should) face the ramifications of his words and actions.

      i think its less about not saying anything and more like not taking it fucking seriously.

      because its not. its childish and should be treated as such.

      Okay, fair point. What I mean is, don’t bring it up unless the toddler starts talking about it again. Stupid of CNN to bring it up again for no reason.
