Imagine PM Carney going to visit Macron in Quebec and saying, “We’re going to meet in France.”
Trump isn’t all there.

The worst thing about Trump is that he has forced us to react (build bombs, rush mining projects, etc.) in ways we know are bad for us and the earth. We have to act like madmen to protect ourselves from madmen.
