Snowballs in hell

A few weeks ago Canadian officials had written off comments from the US President-elect about the annexing of Canada as a joke. Yesterday, at his Mar-a-Lago press conference Trump stepped up this theme suggesting that he could hit the country with “economic force” so that it had no choice but to submit to the US. He also warned that he would be willing to use force to take over the Panama Canal and Greenland and refused to rule out the use of the military to achieve these goals.
