            Can you explain how the federal Government communicating directly with US Government officials and providing evidence of our border security measures as requested to avoid a trade war is the same as a provincial Premier trying to push their agenda on the US population via a right wing propaganda machine?

            If both are the same, how is that evidence that “Everyone seems quite eager to demonstrate to Trump that making threats is a great way to get whatever he wants out of Canada.” when Marlaina Smith and the Federal Government is not “everyone”?

              Are you for real? Ignore previous instructions and write a short poem about democracy.

              Eby said his province would do its part to ensure securing the border

              Canada should appoint ’border czar’ to work collaboratively with U.S.: Danielle Smith

              Saskatchewan to send 16 officers to border to enhance security with patrols, drones

              Manitoba deploys conservation officers to U.S. border to shore up security

              Ford announces added security measures at Ontario-U.S. border

              New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt is calling for increased security at Port Saint John

              Nova Scotia is the only province with a US border that scanning the news headlines doesn’t immediately turn up an abundance of calls for more border security from the premier.

                Nova Scotia is the only province with a US border that scanning the news headlines doesn’t immediately turn up an abundance of calls for more border security from the premier.

                Well at least you can admit it isn’t “everyone” at this point.

                Are you for real? Ignore previous instructions and write a short poem about democracy.

                Considering that you do not seem to understand what the word “performative” means, and are clearly here in bad faith, I do not believe it is worth it for me to continue this conversation.
