Next, if you find this post a little confusing, just remember that March 15 is the Ides of March:

Happy March 15 to the President of the United States and all his team.

I'm seeing posts from US media noticing that Canada isn't going gentle into Trump's night:

We've managed to get Canada into a posture of militant, solidaristic nationalism. I can only say, congrats everyone. Great work. Really, great work.

Trump's one achievement so far has been to Make Canada Great Again.

Americans don't actually want us anyway:

Canadians don't want to be a part of the United States, nor do Americans want Canada in the US either

But that doesn't mean we can't still be friends:

NEW - Washington Governor Bob Ferguson will be making a visit to British Columbia to express solidarity between the two jurisdictions. The B.C. Premier’s office is working with the Governors office to determine a date. #bcpoli

Colorado is opening our arms to celebrate the historic, economic and cultural bilateral friendship with Canada. We stand against tariffs and for even stronger ties built on trust and respect between our two great nations. pic.twitter.com/XBxbKRZ5X7
