    Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that he will meet with US
    President Donald Trump in June at the G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta.

    “We had what I would describe as wide ranging, and as I said a moment
    ago, very constructive discussions,” Carney told reporters today at the Canadian Embassy in Washington. “We agreed to have further conversations
    in the coming weeks, and we are looking forward to meeting in person at
    the G7 summit in Canada,” he added.

    Trump has not yet confirmed his attendance at the summit. According to
    three US officials familiar with the matter, ahead of the Trump-Carney
    meeting, Trump and his aides had not made a final decision on attending
    the summit.

    Carney also reiterated that Canada “is not for sale” after Trump earlier said that he still would like the US neighbor to the north to become a
    state.

    “The president has made known his wish about that issue for some time,” Carney said. “I’ve been careful always to distinguish between wish and reality. I was clear there in the Oval Office, as I’ve been clear
    throughout on behalf of Canadians, that this is never going to happen.
    Canada is not for sale and never will be for sale.”

    Trump isn't really evil, and neither is Carney (though
    he is a fuckin' socialist).

    Ignore crusading blather from either side here - it's
    mostly for political effect.

    Canada and USA will continue to get along OK and
    nobody is gonna invade anybody here.

    Canada needs to do a *few* tweaks - and so does
    the USA. Then it'll all be fine.

    Canada is going to be sorry they elected Carney.

    Trump really is evil in that he doesn't care at all for anyone but himself.
