Mark Carney told Trump in no uncertain terms that Canada’s not for sale, and the internet was very much here for it

After Trump’s anti-Canada rhetoric and threats helped turn around a Conservative lead in the polls to win Mark Carney a snap election and the Canadian premiership, the prospect of the two leaders meeting had been one the world was watching closely.

When the day came, on Tuesday, Donald Trump showed how classy he isn’t, even before Mr Carney had set foot in the blinged-up Oval Office.

Those with an eye on North American politics had high hopes that the diplomatic but direct Canadian PM would address the 51st state nonsense recently peddled by his orange southern neighbour.

They weren’t disappointed.

The internet gave a virtual cheer and a lot of delighted feedback. It’s occasionally NSFW. Very NSFW.
