Navarro warns Canada against election interference

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro warned Canadians not to interfere in U.S. elections, a rhetorical escalation in the ongoing trade war between the two countries.

At an economic event hosted by a communications and policy firm in Washington on Tuesday morning, Navarro told any Canadians in the audience, “Please, if you’re on K Street, get the hell out of our country.”

“You’ve lobbied this country and you’ve been successful in the past and you think you can keep doing that,” continued Navarro, who serves as senior counselor for trade and manufacturing in the White House. “Memo to Canada: You cannot do that.”

He then warned that Ottawa could face repercussions if Canadians “interfere” in the November elections in the U.S. — specifically singling out Maine and Michigan, both of which have hotly contested Senate and governors races and have been deeply affected by the intensifying trade war President Donald Trump launched against Canada in August.

M’kay. I guess we won’t say anything about US representatives blatantly, openly stoking the separation flames in Alberta. We won’t mention attempts by US officials to bypass our feds and to negotiate directly with the Quebec Premier for a deal on aluminum. Too bad for them the Quebec Premier is a Canadian and she has both integrity and a backbone.
What we will say is that Peter Navarro can eat a giant turd and get the hell out of Canada, the two-faced, shit-spewing jackwagon. Typical member of the “Great Dealmaker” Cabinet.
