Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly told U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio that Canada’s sovereignty is non-negotiable after Donald Trump suggested it should become the 51st state.

Rubio acknowledged disagreement but said it wasn’t a summit topic.

Prime Minister Mark Carney dismissed Trump’s remarks as “crazy.” Joly emphasized that G7 ministers shouldn’t treat the issue as a joke.

Despite tensions, G7 ministers agreed to collaborate on shared priorities. Joly urged provinces to reduce internal trade barriers and diversify Canada's international partnerships beyond the U.S.
