Hey US
Canada here
I sell you an item for a $100. When it crosses the border, Trump adds 25% tarrif, YOU now have to pay $125, $25 of which is Trumps Tarrif.
Building a house? Add 25% to cost of lumber. You spend say 30k on lumber will now cost you 37.5k.
Thanks for attending my TED Talk.

When you enter the USA, it is the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers who control the entry of persons and goods.
Somehow it is Canada's fault that USCBP is not doing their job, therefore the US residents are going to face 25% increase in cost of living.
US residents, thank Mr. tRump!

I have a joke about conservative trickle-down economies, but 99% of you will not get it.

Snow can burn your eyes,

To my American friends:
Over the last 50 years (except 2017-2021) we have spent an average of $15k per year supporting your tourism industry.
We will miss you until 2029, but we simply cannot support a country led by Mr Trump when you had the chance to elect Ms Harris.
See you in 4 years.

Can any GOP politician explain how you have have enough resources to financially invade Canada, Greenland and Panama, but not have enough to house the 35,574 US Veterans living on your streets?

I don't support censorship by exclusion of "Fox News".
I would prefer that there be a screen sized warning on Faux "News" and any other talk show on the Network that states:
"The following program is US-based satire.
Please enjoy this form of entertainment at your own risk."

As Hollywood Hills burns I would like to ask all Americans to look at all the Canadian helicopters and fireman helping fight your fires.
Remember that next time you parrot Trump's comments of invading Canada and Greenland.
Remember we came to your aid in WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, and on 9/11.

Canadian Political Primer for our US Friends.
Trudeau is still our Prime Minister until further announcement.
Our government is on 'pause' until March 24.
In the meantime the Liberals will decide who will lead the party. Once the leaders has been chosen, THAT person becomes the PM until an election.

As expected, Gov. Gen. Mary Simon has agreed with PMJT's request to prorogue Parliament until March 24 and Sachit Mehra will launch a leadership race, forthwith.

The incoming political administration in the USA (effective 20 January 2025) will once again be the laughing stock of the entire world as as it was between January 2017 and January 2021.
Unfortunately half of the citizens who did not vote for the GOP will also be painted with the same brush.

The Stars and Stripes being flown at half-staff on 20 January not only honours the late POTUS 39, but is foretelling of the death of decency, honesty, and respect in the Whitehouse.
