It took just one meeting with Lutnick to reverse his strong stance and start saying:
Mr. Ford insisted Mr. Lutnick somehow wants to “boost up” Canada, despite Mr. Trump’s repeated threats of annexation and tariffs that could cripple Canada’s U.S.-trade-dependent economy.
…
“They aren’t coming into our country to take over, I’ll tell you that,” Mr. Ford said. “I kind of flip this around. What a compliment. We’ll never be a 51st state. Canada’s not for sale. But isn’t it nice that someone thinks we have the greatest country world, and they want access?”
…
The Premier’s comments follow last week’s high-stakes trade drama, in which he backed down from imposing a 25-per-cent surcharge on his province’s electricity exports to the U.S. Mr. Ford’s move prompted a vehement reaction from Mr. Trump, who immediately threatened to double the 25-per-cent duties he was about to impose on Canadian steel and aluminum.

nobody is asking for it, not interested in your consent
I assume you’d prefer that to my resistance.
That, or you can’t separate the people from the regime oppressing them, in which case you’re just as bad.
Fuck off. Your government is an aggressor and we don’t owe you a pat on the back for not making it worse
If your government is oppressing you, go fight it. Tired of this bullshit of Americans around here wanting cookies for not being republicans.
Fair. I’m doing my part, but I’m in your space. Peace.
