Good luck to this globalist POS. May his nation enjoy their position as China’s vassals.

Thank you for outlining the key steps required to preserve legal privilege.
To heck with negations dialog deals with canada. Close the border with canada no cross border traffic of any kind. No more defense shield no more intel sharing no more!

Their demographic will soon become Canasian.
Cool. Now let’s see Canada defend that supply line.
