    Canada should burn that library to the ground or just demo the part on our side. If it “long symbolized bilateral closeness” it’s time to elbow up and burn the fucker down.

    Or, cut a hole in the side, clear out everything on our side of the border, then put in razorwire.

      Just demolish the Canadian half. Leave it a symbol of Trump’s America, just like what he’s done to the White House.

              “Obama tore up the whole south lawn to install an outdoor kitchen”.

              Lol! Wut? No he didn’t. Michelle Obama planted her own vegetables in the garden FOR the White House kitchen. That’s why it’s called a “kitchen garden”. That garden has been producing fruits and vegetables off and on, for over 200 years.

              It is beyond hilarious that you are asking people to “use any research machine of choice” to check your bullshit…when you haven’t even bothered to do that yourself.

                  Ok…so, are you seriously suggesting that what the Obamas did, was comparable to tearing down the entire East Wing of the White House?

                  Obama had the tennis court lines repainted and had a freestanding basketball hoop brought in, and Michelle put in planter boxes, walkways and seating. All of it was basically just cosmetic changes to the grounds outside, with none of it having any impact on the White House structure itself. That’s not “renovating the White House”…it’s just rearranging the lawn furniture.
