And, then, American President Trump said he was going to impose a tariff on Canadian energy. And then, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he was going to stop sending energy to the United States if President Trump did that. And President Trump laughed and said he was only joking and the energy tariff would not be imposed by his deadline. And Premier Ford gave a mirthless laugh and said he would not stop the flow of Ontario energy to the US. And President Trump established a second deadline for imposing a tariff on Canadian energy. And Premier Ford repeated that Ontario would retaliate by cutting off energy from the province. And –
Watching the trade war unfold is kind of like watching tennis, but with 47% less grunting and 98% more chance of a global economic meltdown.

Life Is A Carney-val
Mark Carney, who became the head of the Liberal Party last week, was sworn in as the Prime Minister of Canada this week. And I thought: The Star of The Honeymooners became Prime Minister? He must be at least 100! Does he have the energy to run the country? Never mind running the country – can he fart without an administrative assistant? And what, exactly, qualifies him to be Prime Minister? I know that getting a law passed by Parliament has sometimes been described as “herding cats,” but starring in Harry and Tonto isn’t enough experience for the job!
Sometimes, I feel that I don’t know this country at all!

Local Economies And International Relations Both, Pal
Local Economies And International Relations Both
Tariff wars do strange things to local economies.
The State of Florida has started running ads in Canadian media that read: “Come to Florida! We don’t really hate Canadians!”
Not to be outdone, the State of California almost immediately responded with its own ads, which read: “No, come to California. We hate Canadians less than Florida!”
To which the State of New York replied with its own ads: “Come to New York. We hardly hate Canadians at all. In fact, you might not even notice any hatred of Canadians if you stay in the right parts of the State!”
Noting the desperation in some of the efforts of American states to shore up their threatened tourism economies, Quebec produced an ad for central English Canadians that read: “Or, you could come to Quebec. We don’t hate Canadians – we practically are Canadians!”

Good Thing Congress Has Its Own Health Plan, Because It Looks Like Somebody Is Going To Need Immediate Medical Attention…
President Donald Trump is crowing about the passage of the Continuing Resolution to Defund the Government. “It was a bi-partisan effort,” he stated. “The Democrats wanted to cut $800 billion from Medicare, and who were we to argue?”
“That’s not what happened,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer contradicted him. “Democrats voted to keep the government open.”
“As I said, the Democrats own the cuts to Medicare,” Trump continued as if Schumer hadn’t spoken. “What was it? $800 billion? They wanted to cut over a trillion, but we talked them down. When you think about it, that makes us the champions of Medicare.”
“That’s not – no, they aren’t the – augggh!” Schumer responded.

In The Next Election, Liberals Expect To Do Major Carney-age
1 candidate) A headline in The Toronto Star read: “Liberal party opts for the edgy banker.” What, exactly, is an edgy banker?
a) a banker who knows all the angles
b) a banker who wears plaid ties…in his own home…when he’s not expecting visitors
c) a banker who will cut you…or, at least, he will cut your bankruptcy protections if a downturn in the stock market leaves you with a smaller amount of disposable income
2nd party) How is Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre responding to Carney becoming Prime Minister?
a) by putting on his best Ben Grimm voice (which isn’t all that impressive, but, Parliamentary tradition is to not malign the vocal stylings of another Member) and saying, “What a revoltin’ development!
b) by watching the anti-Trudeau ad that would have been played in major markets across the country on the day the election was called on a loop and sobbing uncontrollably
c) by starting to wear glasses again – man, he’s really letting himself go!

Protecting The American People Against Invasion?
More Like Protecting The American People Against Kvetching Elderly Snowbirds, You Ask Me!
Starting in April, Canadians who are planning on going to the United States for more than 30 days will have to register with the American government, including submitting to being fingerprinted, according to a new Executive Order signed by President Donald Trump.
“Why would anybody want to come to a shithole country like this?” the President mused when he signed the EO, called Protecting the American People Against Invasion. “The only reason would be that they are criminals or political activists – which is the same thing, as far as I’m concernerd. We need to be ready for when they initiate their nefarious plans!”
Do the American people really need protecting from grey-haired seniors who barely have the energy to get to a Florida BINGO hall, much less cheat at the game?

Look, the only reason Canada even exists is because the United States didn’t want to manage all that empty land. Seriously, what have you got? Maple syrup and socialized medicine? You think that’s enough to make you a real country? Trust me: you’ll be better off when you become the 51st state
Looks like I got my answer…
