    Stephen Marche, a Canadian novelist and host of the Gloves Off podcast, told CBC’s The House that Hoekstra “is the person you send to a country to alienate it. He is a person who obviously has no interest in maintaining really decent U.S.-Canadian relations.”

    There it is.

    The clown is the epitome of clowns sent by the clown in chief.
    I’m pissed at the apologists and the canadians who still waste time and money in the cesspool that is the US.
    Fuck 'em all.

    In response, Volpe said, “I unfortunately only speak English and I don’t understand what he’s saying there. Everybody was better off nine months ago, including Canada.”

    I’m torn between wanting to see more media coverage of this dunce ambassador saying stupid shit, and just having him shut down and deprived of any media attention.

      Let him chirp, Canadians will just ignore the moron and continue about our business of altering our supply chains away from the US, and build on internal trade, as well as our CETA, CPTPP, and eventually Mercosur opportunities. I feel for the companies too reliant on the US, and China, those relationships will make them vulnerable and cause them to fail, it’s only a matter of time.
