You know, it's just sort of preposterous for us to think about this, that we're at this point in time, and we're not even quite sure how we got there.

I just can't act as an economic engine to Detroit. At a time when we're being economically threatened by the president of the United States. Just can't get my mind around it.

And in true Canadian form, let me tell you, I apologize for having to do that. And I recognize it's a pebble in the ocean. Like, I'm not changing the world by doing these two things, right? But it's a signal.

I don't have any other arrows in the quiver, right? I have nothing else I can fire back. I have nothing else I can do. I have no other way except using my voice to express my dissatisfaction and my feeling about this.

We have built this thing together. When Chrysler announces they're building a new car factory in Detroit, Like, we would light fireworks off here because we think that's amazing for our region. Just as you should celebrate when we build a $6 billion battery factory, that raises your boat as well in the United States. It's great for everybody.

And none of us are foolish enough to think that the United States doesn't have the military might, if they want and choose, to take over Canada. We'd put up a good fight. We'd probably lose. We know that. But the thought that that's where we are, all of a sudden, with a snap of a finger, is abhorrent to us.

You have to understand Canadians, like they'll just become more, it's a rallying cry to pull together even tighter.
