The only time we’ve had to answer the call for Article 5 in the very same alliance they are threatening to leave. Newfoundlanders and (and other provinces too) took Americans into their homes, housed and fed them, free of charge, after 9/11 for days and days. We send water bombers and firefighters to help them fight their wildfires. And I’m sure we do a hell of a lot more than that. And China is getting a 10% tariff while we get 25%.
