Listen up General Fatten: There’s no fucking chance Canada becomes the 51st state. We’d rather drink maple syrup from a Zamboni oil pan than watch our healthcare turn into GoFundMe campaigns and our hockey rinks turn into MAGA rally halls. Fuck off!
Flashback to 11 years ago today when Wayne Easter delivered the perfect description of Pierre Poilievre in the House of Commons.
Some things never change!
THE TRUTH ON TARIFFS:
Trump's claim that Canada holds an unfair advantage due to 250% tariffs on U.S. dairy products is misleading.
In reality, the U.S. exports approximately $1.03 billion worth of dairy products annually to Canada, virtually ALL TARIFF-FREE.
That's right—these U.S. dairy exports enter Canada with a 0% tariff.
On the other hand, the U.S. imports only about $293 million in dairy products from Canada each year, significantly less than what it exports to Canada.
The "250% tariffs" that Trump references apply exclusively to dairy imports above Canada's established quota limits. Such quota limits are rarely surpassed, as the U.S. already exports far more dairy products to Canada than Canada exports to the U.S.—more than three times as much, in fact.
This is what MAGA does. They create huge controversies out of nothing, as a way to try and sell a narrtive.
