Canada rejoices as Trump stops making stupid 51st State joke

Mafia Don had a lot of fun with that “Governor of the 51st State, Justin Trudeau” gag he first fired up last November. He had no idea how intensely many Canadians would take offence at that. CBC alone probably racked up a few hundred hours of on-air umbrage. So Trump being Trump, he obviously had to use it at every opportunity. The Globe and the CBC were aghast that not even King Charles or our EU allies would speak up for us and protect us from hearing Trump’s stupid joke yet again. Today was Trump-proclaimed “Liberation Day,” the day the dreaded Trump Tariffs would take effect. Canada, or at least our legacy media journalists, have had months of sleepless nights waiting for the big day, and wondering how much longer we had to keep our elbows up. I tuned in the CBC coverage. The talking heads were stunned. After all these months of hyperventilating over imminent doom, Canada didn’t even get the baseline 10% tariff! And even better, not once did the Orange Oracle refer to us as the 51st State!
