Canada Is Saying So Long, Farewell, We Love To Say Goodbye

I was reading an article about Canada and felt it was well worth the time to bring here. I hope you enjoy it! After a decade under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, it seemed the center-left liberal party was ready to move on to something more conservative. Then tRump entered the picture and opened his yap, and that’s all changing. His bullying (with help from the chainsaw-wielding Muskrat) resulted in derision across the country. The trash-talking, Trump-like leader of the Conservative Party best resembled Wile E. Coyote after Trump’s assault; the politico who had long claimed Canada was broken was suddenly lost for words as the bottom fell out of his campaign.

If Agent Orange had said nothing about Canada, things might have been different. But he taunted Canadians, using this frat boy hazing of what the two of them (remember, Elon) thought was a defenseless target, or the relationship might have been different. In a matter of days, there was a 25-point swing in favor of the governing Liberal Party, now led by the non-nonsense Mark Carney, and Wile E. Coyote had nowhere to go and nothing to say. No one could have come up with an improved way to unite Canadians better and faster than Traitor Tot’s tariffs and threats, insults, and more for their country rather than the US, with tRump rapidly turning the American brand toxic across the globe.

From Rolling Stone: The frantic chaos of Trump’s America unceasing news cycle is countered with civic calm here. A pro-Palestinian protest marches along University Avenue toward City Hall, with no terror of students being disappeared by government agents wearing masks. The hip-hop exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario proceeds with no fear that the tender feelings of sensitive white men will be bruised by divergent historical and political narratives; a blonde bride poses with her groom on the circular stairs in the main atrium, oblivious to how threatened she is supposed to feel by the large poster on the wall with a set of oversized teeth and braces spelling out “Black Power.”

Canadians no longer buy American-made products. The bad part about that is that the vendors are stuck with it through no fault of their own. I hope that they’ll be able to change over to something different. Canadians are simply ignoring those stores and those products. Customers in bars ask for Canadian whiskey and other spirits. There is no American product in liquor stores. The economic slowdown is starting to show, but they will get through it, one way or the other.

JD Vance says Canada can’t win in a trade war. But Canada isn’t at war. Canada was never at war. They are not at war with America, nor is it at war with reality, empathy, or the basic elements of human decency that also define Canadian identity. I can’t remember us being that way for a long, long time, and it makes me sad. I think the closest time we had those qualities was on 9/11. How many years have passed since then? Oh, how the mighty have fallen, and fallen hard. And on “Liberation Day”, Canada is relieved to find they have no new tariffs, just the ones already in place for steel & aluminum, and cars. Now the rest of the world is subject to the Mango Mandarin Messiah, WHO PAINTS HIS FACE ORANGE. They now know what Canada has been experiencing for months. And no matter who wins the Canadian elections, the Tangerine Palpatine has lost.

To close: In this new era of American lawlessness, treaties like the one Trump negotiated with Canada and Mexico are tossed aside with the same shameless ease that the president once displayed in stiffing subcontractors. Trump has now set himself up to dispense and collect tariff favors like a mafia don, the corruption and inscrutability practiced with impunity — and, of course, immunity. The president treats the world like it is a ship of fools, certain that he’s smarter than everyone else. Canadians, politely minding their own business until a few short weeks ago, now behold their neighbors with a mixture of horror and disbelief, and fear, dreading that this is the kind of arrogance that always goes before the fall. The day we fall may be sooner than we think. We’re already heading for a recession. We’re already having economic pain. We’re already dealing with staggering inflation. The Orange Sphincter refuses to see it. He thinks he is all-knowing. He isn’t. So, here we are.

Zoomers, if you have any spare change, please, we could use it. We are now entering month five of Trump Depression Syndrome, the moniker given to the phenomenon of a lot of Democrats tuning out from politics to save their sanity. I understand and respect that. I also know that somebody has to stay on the front lines, or there won’t be an army left to fight this war. So, that’s us. Please, we could use your help. And thank you for coming here to read about all the events. Ursula
