Quote The second part could easily be disproven - Canada's governments have never taken that position, and there's a reason for that.

Now they're (apparently) not. The tweet he made said nothing against Trump or any US policy, and only promoted Canada's position. I know you never said that either.....you were fear mongering as i accused you of, now things have settled down and clarity is there, so you did say.....and it might still, answer the question of HOW ?

Canada and the UK were able to negotiate special considerations. The US had to walk back its policy on green card holders. The situation wasn't well thought through at all.

Those countries were previously named by the US as countries of concern. There was no need to name them in the order. Sure there is Just because Obama named 7 countries doesnt mean Trump did. He named one. It's hilarious you're trying to claim this but expected fron the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect anything but craziness from Trump, but his barring entry to the residents of six failed countries and Iran doesn't overly concern me. I'm more concerned about him booting the joints chief of staff off his security council and replacing them with Steve Bannon to be honest.

Indeed...it has long been a Canadian national pastime. My understanding of this was complete after reading that Justin Trudeau plaintively whined that the United States "...matters so much to us".
