I have siblings who live in the states; no closer bonds than family.

I have all sorts of in-laws living in the States. One was exceedingly close to one of the mass shootings, this past year. We are their life boat.

Now I understand. He was referring to the relationship between Canadians and Americans generally, not his relationship to Canada. Good to know. I'd compare the relationship between Trump and Canada as that between two opposing soldiers facing one another on the battlefield.

Pretty much every Canadian has family ties in America.

Also as far as Trump goes he has personally injected more doubt into whether a business should set up shop in Canada than the TransMountain Pipeline ever did.

So where are our politicians on this one. Where is Trudeau with the bailout money?

Ya whataboutthat?

Trump has historical family ties to Canada too, but Trudeau seemed too clueless to understand that Trump might not want him to bring up his Canadian family brothel history.

I have a Loyalist background (from Pennsylvania and New York). We had close family ties with the US too until the Americans decided to invade over and over, burn our towns, villages, farms, mills and steal our livestock.

You weren’t around 200 years ago.

Trump's "historical" family tie withCanada is that his German immigrant Opa Drumpf operated a brothel in Carcross Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush.

My family still lives on that homestead on the Niagara Penninsula, 230 years later. It is my Homeland.
