Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told Donald Trump on Tuesday that his country will never be for sale, shutting down the U.S. president’s repeated calls to make Canada the 51st state.

“There are some places that are never for sale,” Carney said in the Oval Office.

Canada is “not for sale” and “won’t be for sale ever,” the prime minister said.

Trump replied: “Never say never.”

    The sad thing is, this doesn’t sound odd or unusual whatsoever. Given the current lack of decorum, I automatically assume this is how everyone must speak to him.

      Don’t underestimate Mark Carney. He was the former Governor of the Bank of England and was a prominent figure in discussions surrounding Brexit, particularly in relation to its economic implications that Brexit could bring to the UK economy. He argued AGAINST Brexit. He was right.
