Donald Trump said Tuesday that Canada will have to pay US$61 billion to be part of his “Golden Dome” space-based missile defence plan — but would pay nothing if it becomes part of the U.S., a message he claimed to have “told Canada” himself.

The social media post came hours after King Charles III delivered the speech from the throne in Canada’s Parliament, which particularly focused on asserting Canada’s sovereignty and included plans for bolstering national defence.

    Holy fucking shit you’re right. Never looked at it like this. We’re getting a second wall, aren’t we? Fuck.

        i mean, there is a bit of an excuse for a wall in the border now.

        the same way i suspect there will be a bit of an excuse for a “golden dome” too.
