In his first big test at the G7, Prime Minister Mark Carney will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday morning, according to an official in his office.

The Prime Minister’s Office said the two leaders will sit down one-on-one before the main talks with the other leaders officially get underway.

Carney has been keen to ink a deal with Trump on trade and security, and for the U.S. president to drop his punishing tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminum and the auto industry.

Earlier this week CBC/Radio-Canada reported Canada and the U.S. appear to be making progress toward some sort of trade agreement.

    Why are we still trying to make nice with this fucking clown? Even if we arrive at a deal, he’ll just change his mind 5 minutes later. I honestly can’t believe we’re letting this shameless felon into Canada after everything that’s happened.

    I was feeling somewhat optimistic about Carney at first, but he’s really starting to piss me off.

    I have the scoop of obtaining the first draft of Canada’s official response, written by career diplomats Thomas and Moranis:

    Take Off, eh?

    They should have a golf cart dressed up like a tank for when the leaders go for a walk.
