*PM says Trump is trying to make it easier to annex Canada — but it won’t work *
An unbowed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday that Canada will hit back hard at the U.S. after President Donald Trump launched a North American trade war by slapping devastating 25 per cent tariffs on virtually all Canadian goods.

Look, I get it: The pleasure box in our hands is fun and The Algorithm tells us everything we might ever need. But you REALLY should learn basic internet literacy if you want to function in this post-truth world.
