    Following the dinner between Trump and Trudeau, where Trump reportedly made a joke about Canadian statehood, Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc told reporters that they knew “the conversation was going to be lighthearted” and that “the president was teasing us.”

      Also, anyone who’s actually been involved in international politics, LIKE TRUMP DID FOR FOUR YEARS, should know that one does not “joke” in international politics. One assumes that the words coming out of one’s mouth will be taken at face value, no matter how many “it was a joke” retractions and posts and apologies you make.

      Trudeau and Freeland handled the last term better than anyone around here expected.
