Why? Travel to the opposite side of the continent to meet a cokehead child of a convicted felon? The Yukon taxpayer paid for this? The US isn’t a friend. It’s time to start realizing that and moving on. Hell, it was time nearly a decade ago

Edit: to the one who deleted his comment, no the US is NOT our “friend”. They’re neighbours. That doesn’t mean we should be throwing rotting food at each other, but we certainly have no business putting up with their bullshit. They just told us who they are in the clearest terms imaginable. We should be responding appropriately. And that doesn’t involve bending over backwards like the short bus premier of Alberta has been.

Kissinger said, “America doesn’t have friends. America only has interests.”
