Can you find the 5th Beatle in this picture?

Hey US Canada here I sell you an item for a $100. When it crosses the border, Trump adds 25% tarrif, YOU now have to pay $125, $25 of which is Trumps Tarrif. Building a house? Add 25% to cost of lumber. You spend say 30k on lumber will now cost you 37.5k. Thanks for attending my TED Talk.

When you enter the USA, it is the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers who control the entry of persons and goods. Somehow it is Canada's fault that USCBP is not doing their job, therefore the US residents are going to face 25% increase in cost of living. US residents, thank Mr. tRump!

I have a joke about conservative trickle-down economies, but 99% of you will not get it.

Conservatives take note: “When the last tree is cut down, the last fish eaten, and the last stream poisoned, you will realize that you cannot eat money”

Mud can make you prisoner, and the plains can bake you dry. Snow can burn your eyes, but only people make you cry.

To my American friends: Over the last 50 years (except 2017-2021) we have spent an average of $15k per year supporting your tourism industry. We will miss you until 2029, but we simply cannot support a country led by Mr Trump when you had the chance to elect Ms Harris. See you in 4 years.

Wonder what Trump v 2 will bring, given the GOP history.

Trump visiting Greenland going through Customs. Customs officer: “Occupation?” Trump: “No, just visiting.”

I am not sure if this is Faux News usual sarcasm or if the worm has turned. Are they FINALLY telling the truth? You decide. www.fox4news.com/news/trump-r...

Can any GOP politician explain how you have have enough resources to financially invade Canada, Greenland and Panama, but not have enough to house the 35,574 US Veterans living on your streets?

I don't support censorship by exclusion of "Fox News". I would prefer that there be a screen sized warning on Faux "News" and any other talk show on the Network that states: "The following program is US-based satire. Please enjoy this form of entertainment at your own risk."

As Hollywood Hills burns I would like to ask all Americans to look at all the Canadian helicopters and fireman helping fight your fires. Remember that next time you parrot Trump's comments of invading Canada and Greenland. Remember we came to your aid in WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, and on 9/11.

The flag has NEVER been at half staff during a swearing in of president. . .except for: John Tyler Millard Fillmore Andrew Johnson Chester Arthur Theodore Roosevelt Harry Truman Lyndon Johnson Richard Nixon Trump is not the first, nor will be the last.

Canadian Political Primer for our US Friends. Trudeau is still our Prime Minister until further announcement. Our government is on 'pause' until March 24. In the meantime the Liberals will decide who will lead the party. Once the leaders has been chosen, THAT person becomes the PM until an election.

As expected, Gov. Gen. Mary Simon has agreed with PMJT's request to prorogue Parliament until March 24 and Sachit Mehra will launch a leadership race, forthwith. Buckle up kids, you are watching history in the making.

The incoming political administration in the USA (effective 20 January 2025) will once again be the laughing stock of the entire world as as it was between January 2017 and January 2021. Unfortunately half of the citizens who did not vote for the GOP will also be painted with the same brush.

The Stars and Stripes being flown at half-staff on 20 January not only honours the late POTUS 39, but is foretelling of the death of decency, honesty, and respect in the Whitehouse. Sorry America - you don't deserve what you elected.

Proposed new map for North America

The economics of McD's; BC minimum wage: $17.40/hr. Quarter Pounder w cheese & bacon meal: $15.45. = 88.8% of one hour of minimum wage. How does this compare to YOUR area?

China’s laws stipulate that the Communist Party can demand intelligence from any company doing business in China, in exchange for participating in the country’s markets. China could demand that Musk hand over sensitive materials due to his close proximity to Trump. Thanks MAGAts.

When servers at a restaurant tell me I need to use a QR to get to a menu (i.e. at P. F. Chang), I ask to borrow thir phone for 10 min to review my choices. It is amazing how fast they can print the menu for me. 😀

To all Canadians who think joining the USA is a good idea, there are just over 100 border crossing from Canada to the USA. Please pick the one closest to you and leave Canada. The USA will welcome you, and we won't miss you - at all. PLEASE RECIND YOUR CANADIAN CITIZENSHIP.

Two German words US citizens need to google so they have a better understanding of what Emperor Trump is undertaking: Lebensraum Anschluß (Anschluss)

Since the USA is proclaiming its imperialist intents, the title "President" is somewhat misleading. "President" needs to be changed to "Emperor". At least then, for the first time in 10 years, tRump would be honest. Minor editing to the US Constitution is required, but doable.

Canadian Kids (< 40) may not realize that until 1985, it was illegal for stores to be open on Sundays. In 1985, the Federal "Lord's Day Act" was repealed by the Supreme Court of Canada. The Lord's Day act had been in place since 1906.

🎵 Hello darkness my old friend. I see you're back at 4pm again... 🎵

A PSA about a PSA WOMEN: If you have a man in your life over the age of 50 please encourage your partner, brother, father, grandfather, uncle, son, etc. to get an annual PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test. It is a blood test that could save his life. MEN: You know the drill - just get it done.

Trudeau is toast. DPM / Finance Minister Freeland leaves the Cabinet of her own accord, Housing Minister Fraser leaving the Cabinet, PMJT looking to make room for a heavy hitter (Mark Carney??) is too little too late. The LPC needs to call a leadership convention ASAP.

13 Dec: Canada Post labour dispute put on pause until May 22 by the Minister of Labour. BUT: if you are expecting a parcel for Christmas, you may not get it until Easter due to the 12MILLION parcels backed up to be delivered.

Laura Ingraham: Speaking of Taylor Swift… "... Call Trump and offer to perform at the inauguration. It would be smart for Taylor Swift..." I cannot see Ms. Swift supporting and celebrating a sexual predator (ask a certain Denver DJ), or somebody who used her work without permission.

Tax-funded, universal health care is SO complicated that only 32 out of 33 of the wealthiest nations on earth have been able to figure out how to do it.

Hey, Cat Haters You don't like cats on your feed? Keep scrolling.

From my American friends I hear they do not teach much in school about the War of 1812 beyond the Battle of Fort McHenry, and the Battle of New Orleans. If this is a case for my followers from the USA, I present to you a Canadian perspective of events in August 1814. youtu.be/sW799AwI3m0?...

Booking vacations other than to MAGAland is more expensive but overall worth it. Spain/Portugal/Morocco Cruise Summer of 2025 and England/Norway Cruise Summer 2026, al booked except the flights. 2027 looks like Japan, and 2028 pending - probably somewhere in Africa.

I wonder how fast CUPW would get back to the bargaining table in the postal disruption, if Canada post were to mail their pay cheques?

Never Forget. It has only been 35 years.

How tariffs work. The USA adds a 25% tariff on Canadian and Mexican goods. Americans pay 25% more for these products. The US Treasury gets the money from the American public. You can thank Mr. Trump for taking an additional 25% out of your pocket to line his.

Getting mail is important, but personal delivery is a luxury reserved for city dwellers. People, businesses, industry etc. can pick up their mail directly from the post office eliminating the expensive and unnecessary personal delivery service. Rural Canada has NEVER had direct delivery.
