51st State

So the Liberals win big in Canada, huh? Guess nothing lights a fire under voters like a neighbor banging on your door, waving tariffs around like eviction notices and hollering about you being the next star on their flag. Trump’s 51st state fantasy? Hell, that probably did more to get Canadians off their asses and into voting booths than any campaign slogan ever could.

Mark Carney’s crew practically waltzed into Parliament with a fresh coat of blue paint, courtesy of American-made anxiety. Nothing like a little economic warfare to remind folks who they don’t want running the show. Canada’s basically telling Trump, “Keep your damn tariffs and your manifest destiny nonsense. We’re not for sale.”

Funny thing is, Trump might’ve handed Carney the win without even crossing the border.
