Ok, this is pretty funny -- some comments that will make you laugh

So here are some funny posts about some maybe-not-so-funny events.  

But we do need to laugh sometimes, don't we:

About the election campaign:

Someone clearly advised Pierre Poilièvre to smile more.

He really shouldn't.

They’re like the missing teeth in the Canadian smile.

Lol. Pretty sure the people who are most enthusiastic about her shutting the fuck up are the federal Conservatives.

About SignalGate

It’s like Watergate, only in this version Nixon directly mails the tapes to Woodward and Bernstein

Worthwhile Canadian Observations
About a “boring” country that definitely isn’t
....As I wrote a couple of months ago, economists have never considered Canada boring: It has often been a laboratory for distinctive policies. But now it’s definitely not boring: Canada, which will hold a snap election next month, seems poised to deliver a huge setback to Donald Trump’s foreign ambitions, one that may inspire much of the world — including many people in the United States — to stand up to the MAGA power grab.
...I don’t know what set Trump off on Canada, what made him think that it would be a good idea to start talking about annexation. Presumably, though, he expected Canadians to act like, say, university presidents, and immediately submit to his threats.
What he actually did was to rally Canadians against MAGA. Just two months ago Canada’s governing Liberals seemed set for a historic collapse, with Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre the all-but-inevitable next prime minister. Now, if the polls are to be believed, Poilievre — who has been trying to escape his image as a Canadian Trump, but apparently not successfully — is effectively out of the running...
...Trump may expect submission; he’s actually getting “elbows up.”...

Letters From God

Canada Posts Giant Billboards in 10 Red States
God bless Canada!
...Canada has begun erecting giant billboards in twelve U.S. states.
The first sightings have been in Georgia and Ohio, but the full list includes:
Florida, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Arizona, Texas. They also posted some in the blue states Minnesota, and New Hampshire.
So…many more sightings are to come!
The signs read:
“Tariffs Are A Tax On Your Grocery Bill.”

The quiet upstairs neighbor has had enough…and now they’re are striking back in the heart of darkness…RED STATES!

Canada is not fecking around, eh?...

Canada is putting up ads and billboards around the country to educate dumb Americans on tariffs and it’s brilliant 🤣 globalnews.ca/news/1109245...

... Except, of course, for Trump himself, who never thought we would defy him
