Your tax dollars at work.
It’s good to see the national holiday commemorating the guy who sold indigenous young teen girls for prurient purposes. /s
And Trump is now telling Canadians how to vote today. I am now in a quandary as to who to vote for as all of the party leaders are fiercely in favour of Canadian independence.
“Trump injected himself into the federal election with a post on his social media site Truth Social, which began: “Good luck to the Great people of Canada.”
“Elect the man who has the strength and wisdom to cut your taxes in half, increase your military power, for free, to the highest level in the World, have your Car, Steel, Aluminum, Lumber, Energy, and all other businesses, QUADRUPLE in size, WITH ZERO TARIFFS OR TAXES, if Canada becomes the cherished 51st. State of the United States of America.”
I’m sure Carney will send the Dear Leader a thank-you note for the late GOTV assist.
A Cabinet position for Shedeur!
Not to mention Columbus, a man from Genoa, would not have much common cause with a bunch of descendents of immigrants from Naples
So hang on, if I’m reading right then if Canada is the 51st state, their personal income taxes will be halved and they’ll have 0 tariffs or corporate income tax whatsoever?
Why in the world would foreign businesses do any kind of trade with the other 50 states? Wouldn’t they just export everything to the state of Canada while we keep up the ridiculous tariffs on all other states?
… Sorry - it’s a fool’s errand to try to turn that man’s words into policy.
If Canada became the 51st state, they’d probably have to give up real Cadbury’s and real Kit Kats; swap KD for Kraft Mac & Cheese, and I suspect that the Maple Syrup mafia might not survive US antitrust law (although whether US antitrust law will survive Dear Leader is a debatable subject).
Also, how do they “QUADRUPLE in size” when CAN is already larger than the USA, physical-size-wise?
Also, that public health plan goes away.
But, no longer will you wait 6 months for an MRI (or have to go the the USA for one).
I think he means no tariffs with the US
I’m curious on how you run a country the size of Canada with a bigger/better military and medical system while paying half the taxes.
Liberal tears lubricate the system and make everything run more efficiently?
Other things, like the tariffs, are going badly for Trump so he is pivoting to “anti-woke” stuff which his supporters love.
“I’d like to be pope,” the president quipped. “That would be my number one choice.”
He sees himself as the Messiah so Pope would be a demotion.
But I’m sure he thinks he’s done more for Catholicism than any Pope ever has.
He just wants to bring back the good ol’ days of the Papacy.

You’d better agree with Dear Leader’s lies, or you will be on the street.
