“‘The only thing that makes sense is for Canada to become our cherished Fifty First State,’ Mr. Trump wrote on social media. ‘This would make all Tariffs, and everything else, totally disappear. Canadians taxes will be very substantially reduced, they will be more secure, militarily and otherwise, than ever before, there would no longer be a Northern Border problem.’” — New York Times
Ever since Canadians dined on Dolley Madison’s Macaroni Soup à la Napolitaine and Williamsburg Pound Cake before burning down the White House in 1814, we’ve been worried about retaliation. And while we love our American cousins (jazz, warm winters, and forensic crime procedurals), with each generation, their leaders and inclinations have become increasingly fascist. We’ve tolerated Reaganomics, aerosol cheese, and hockey in Arizona, but the second Trump administration is the last paper straw.
