For satire to work, it must either be so outrageous as to make us take pause or it must be rooted in truth. I believe this is satire rooted in truth.

To prebunk what we can expect to hear tomorrow:
🔴 Immigrants pay provincial taxes.
🔴 Many non-immigrants don't.
Cutting off immigrants' access to public services isn't about protecting taxpayers.
It's about picking and choosing who is worthy of healthcare and education.

It's hard to believe that you could be the trade representative for a major power and not know that tariffs are regressive.
