I'm all for increasing military spending, increasing security at the border, but this is such bullshit on the part of Trump, who is not even POTUS yet.
I can't help but recall when America was taken hostage in Iran and several American diplomats were out of the office when their embassy was overrun by radicals and where did those Americans seek shelter? Yes, with the Canadians working in our embassy in Iran. CANADIAN Ambassador Kenneth Taylor and his people risked their lives to protect those Americans and the Canadian government stuck their neck out to save those people.
More recently there was 911 and a huge number of American passenger aircraft landed in Canada. Gander Newfoundland comes to mind and we gave those people shelter, invited them into our homes, fed them and welcomed them and treated them as family.
Then came the war in Afghanistan and once again Canada was there for the Americans. We fought and bled and died for the USA. That wasn't our war, but we paid the price. 158 Canadian soldiers died in Afghanistan. And now this?
Then hurricane Katrina
Supplies: Canada sent humanitarian supplies such as water, tents, cots, lumber, pollution clean-up equipment, and insect spray. Ships: The Canadian government sent three warships and a Coast Guard vessel to the Gulf Coast.
Search and rescue: Canada sent search and rescue teams, including the Canadian Heavy Urban Search and Rescue from Vancouver. Volunteers: The Canadian Red Cross sent volunteers to help the American Red Cross manage shelters and deliver meals. The Salvation Army also sent Canadian volunteers to help with relief.
Financial donations: The province of Alberta alone donated CA$5 million.
And now listening to this shit from the orange turd pile?
Next time the Americans can go fuck themselves.
