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.”

      Still wouldn’t be worth it. We can’t expect Canadians to sacrifice themselves to the shitty US system, even the one without Trump.

      Too cheap. It needs to be “the immediate resignation from office of anyone in the US who would want to purchase or otherwise take control of Canadian territory”.

        Still too cheap. It should be “The complete dissolution of the United States as a singular entity”.
