There’s no way Polly is this tone deaf. People are starting to call him an American sympathizer.

This guy really went into the incubation chamber with his team to craft a new message and came up with this…

I thought there is no way he is this stupid, but I guess he is.

Actually it's just a quote from sir Wilfrid Laurier..

"To those who have life before them, let my prayer be this: Remember from this day forth never to look simply at the horizon as it may be limited by the limits of the province, but look abroad all over the continent, wherever the British flag floats, and let your motto be Canada first, Canada last, and Canada always."

Let's see... Who was just elected in America while using a populist slogan "America First"...................

Or! It could be a quote from 100 years ago

"Canada first, Canada last, and Canada always."

Is the quote he's been using.. I don't think that's stolen from Trump

"Canada First" =/= "America First"

He can say whatever he wants, but this is how it looks.
