Prime Minister Justin Trudeau just before the media were kicked out of a room in Toronto. Moments later, loudspeakers inadvertently carried these remarks. It is a real thing. Hard to hear, but Trudeau says Donald Trump's goal is to absorb Canada, that it's quote

a real thing. Trudeau's hot mic moment comes after phone calls Monday with the US president. A source says Trump raised an obscure 1908 treaty between the United Kingdom and the US.

start even if it did. The fire hydrants don't work. They're at least 40 years old and some of them have been taken down.
