Today's Memes: Trudeau Take Thursday, Musk Lose Sky, Trump Drop Trou, and today in "Elbows Up"

Following along with the "Trump Take Egg" meme, I think we need to title this one "Trudeau Take Thursday"

Q: “The foreign affairs minister called all of this a psychodrama - how do you characterize it?” TRUDEAU: “Thursday.” 🔥

Canadian Pride, Canadian Anger 

...If you think about it, in some ways we owe Don Trump some thanks. Not only has he roused us from out normal placidity, evern torpor, to feel deep pride in our country, he has also made us very, very angry. In the long term, that can only work to our collective good... 

Yes it has been a remarkable period for our country -- the Liberal leadership race and Poilievre "coronation" upended, the Trudeau rehabilitation that he is using now to engineer almost-nation-wide daycare and pharmacare (I'm expecting school lunch deals tomorrow!), the 4 Nations hockey win and the "Elbows Up" meme that caught our national mood so perfectly. 

Way back three months ago, it was the winter of my discontent -- seeing the American election results and Poilievre's baffling upward march in the polls and the relentless media drumbeat that Trudeau must resign. Because we seemed to be without a new Liberal leader in sight, I thought all the Liberal initiatives at risk - reconciliation, pharmacare, daycare, school lunches, housing initiatives. It was devastating. 

Not anymore! 

This whole column is well worth reading:

Donny’s tariffs are already a fucktacular shit-show 

tariffs are paused! no, they’re on! no, wait— 

want to construct a clusterfuck? it’s easy. 

start with the smoking rubble of a burned-out brain in steep cognitive decline. add a dollop of acute megalomania. pour in a generous amount of greed. now add the impulse control of a coked-up squirrel. toss in some ignorance, along with the inability to learn from mistakes, or even admit that mistakes were made. 

now take that shitpile of defects, shake well, and bingo! you’ve ended up with Donny Convict’s completely incoherent tariff policies.... 

so, for those of you keeping score at home, 

— we have to take over Canada because it’s being run by Mexico. 

— we have to take over Panama because it’s being run by China. 

— we have to take over Greenland because it’s being run by … fuck it, who cares. we’re gonna invade them anyway. 

— and the one country that really does need our protection because they’ve been attacked by Russia, they can go eat an entire bag of dicks, because Zelensky was very mean to Dear Leader.

A message for Trump and MAGA: Don't underestimate Canada 

Canadians, best known for their niceness rather than fierce nationalism, have been stirred and galvanized by Donald Trump’s childish insults and belligerent actions toward their country. In the process, our usually laid-back neighbors to the north have revived their country’s Liberal Party while striking deep fear in the heart of red America. 

It wasn’t long ago that Canada’s Conservative Party was headed for an electoral landslide, with Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s popularity hitting rock bottom. Just like every other governing party in the industrialized world, the country’s Liberal Party was the target of voter fury due to high inflation, leading Trudeau to announce in January that he would resign as party leader and prime minister. 

But between threatening and then enacting and then backing down on tariffs, mockingly referring to Trudeau as “governor,” and demeaning Canada as “the 51st state” while threatening to annex the sovereign nation, Trump has single-handedly revived Canadian Liberals, who are now running just slightly behind the Tories this election year. 

Canadians are set to head to the polls on Oct. 20. It is an act of breathtaking idiocy for Trump to turn our closest ally into a fire-breathing foe that’s foaming at the mouth to take us on.

Finally, here's another idea:

I have just learned that Pornhub 🇨🇦 is Canadian owned and operated and I think shutting it down in the USA would be a very quick way to end this trade war.
