Oh, we know what happened when DeGaulle repeated "Vive Le Quebec Libre" - major diplomatic incident.
De Gaulle and "Vive le Québec libre" - The Canadian Encyclopedia

Trudeau should be banned from the U.S. for meddling in domestic politics!
To me Trudeau is just a first rate jerk anyway. I know, his followers don't want to hear this and I understand, but I still feel this way and yes, what if the shoe was on the other foot? What if Trump suggested something like that? I wonder how the governors felt when they heard this?

You mean like Trumps first response to London attack was to criticize the mayor? Trump wrote the book on being a jerk & you know it. End of story.

You have got to be kidding!

Firstly Trudeau never said any such thing and secondly:

Donald Trump Disses Germans At NATO Summit, Vows To Stop Sales Of German Cars - Gas 2

Donald Trump Calls Justin Trudeau "Canada's Worst President Yet"

The shocking things Trump supporters said about Canada | National Observer

Here's the speech:

Justin Trudeau gets reassurances from U.S. state governors on NAFTA - National | Globalnews.ca

Maybe you should be asking why it is that it's not the governors all fulminating over his speech?

OMG! Please. He is another George Soros puppet president. A smooth-talking pretty boy willing to sell-out. Canadians will eventually be as happy to get rid of him as the Americans were of Obama (and Bush!).

Macron is another one..........

I don't know. Trudeau seems fake to me. He tries too hard to appease people.

Trudeau's dad was a long "serving" Canadian Prime Minister.

Sort of like Bush 1 and 2, sort of like New York Governor's Mario Cuomo and Andrew Cuomo, like Bill and Hilary Clinton, and Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong Un.

And you wonder why you never get a break!

That is an actual formal agreement, not simply discussions by Canadian officials with U.S. local and state officials and business associations, aimed at convincing them that it is in their best interest to put pressure on Washington not to make certain specific changes to NAFTA. No agreements are signed. It's just a dialogue. I imagine Canada listened to the concerns too and took that into consideration when coming up with its negotiating position.

Congress, for the first time I think, will have input in the NAFTA negotiations. Won't the members be listening to what their states want?
Obviously the deal was authorized by Congress or it's unconstitutional and therefore null & void.

I enjoy it all. That's why I'm here. Mind your own business.
Yes, it was presumptuous speculation. And if you think I should mind my own business, don't post on a public forum. You can have your little repartee using the direct messaging function and avoid busybodies like myself.

As opposed to Trump who looks like...what, exactly? Never mind, don't answer that. I'll have nightmares.

You're just jealous because I bet you're not nearly as good looking as he is. Yes, I said that.
