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.”
Your country’s leader may overuse turns-of-phrase. Mine is destroying a lifetime of political capital and hurting millions both domestically and internationally.
I’d choose your leader over mine in a hot second.
Sorry. If I may, I suspect the listener may need repetition to be comfortable in the conversation, since it will re-use words he’s already figured out.
New deal, Canada becomes part of the US but we just let them be in charge and abandon our clearly failed political system
