I am confused by this article.

The headline says they want to change the borders, but I didn't see any details in the article about redrawing the border. They say they're interested in doing so, but there aren't any details. They say that Trump wants control of the Keystone XL pipeline, but the details they give simply say that he wants it built. It's like they shoved all the Canada-US relations stuff into one article, but didn't bother editing it or making it coherent.

On another note, Trump himself is confused:

"We protect Canada, but it’s not fair. It’s not fair that they’re not paying their way, and if they had to pay their way they couldn’t exist,” he told reporters.

Uh, no, Canada has protected our northern border. If we'd had to protect that on our own, we'd be a much more closed, paranoid and militaristic place. [Isn't that a scary thought!]

Don't stress yourself out too much. It's the Telegraph, whose journalistic standards are on par with the Toronto Sun.

Maybe they plan to redraw it to include some of the states in Canada.
