Summary

Trump mocked Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the “governor” of the “Great State of Canada” on Truth Social, following recent discussions about tariffs on Canada.

Trump has joked about Canada becoming the 51st U.S. state, linking the idea to U.S. trade deficits with Canada and Mexico.

Trudeau, responding to tariff threats, pledged to counter any unfair trade measures.

The remarks have sparked lighthearted responses, including Ontario Premier Doug Ford joking about the War of 1812 and Sen. Bernie Sanders referencing Canada’s healthcare system.

      But also have a gun culture where someone walks into a primary school cafeteria full of defenceless toddlers and fires off 300 rounds from an automatic, yet only hits like 10 kids. No these types of “Americans” are fucking animals, and are dumb as shit.

      This ain’t walmart. Remember that. Also they are like 0 for 6, or whatever it’s at now.
