Following Moe’s remarks, NDP Leader Carla Beck said it was about time that he woke up to Trump’s threats.

[Emphasis mine]

I couldn't agree more.

Even after reading this headline twice I couldn't understand it, so here is the first few lines of the article for anyone with the same issue:

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says a plan by the United States to restore Russia’s ability to sell fertilizer is a backchannel that funds Ukrainian death and suffering.

“This is the most disturbing action that I think we’ve seen from (U.S. President Donald Trump) since his election,” Moe told legislators Tuesday.

“In essence, what he is doing is funding (Russian President) Vladimir Putin’s regime ... and funding the death of Ukrainians.”

Threatening to annex Canada is apparently not that bad to Moe. Enough said.

Yes he is, but in this instance (and I hate to say it) he's also right.

Not denying that our DUI hire is right, just that he is an idiot who did not plan for Trumps stupidity in the budget.

The common conservative mantra in Canada to this day is that there's nothing wrong with Trump besides baring his fangs at us.

It's along the lines of racism is okay until it's against you type of logic. So it is to say that Conservatives like to play the victim but rarely prepare to be the actual victims.
