It hard for him to be hard on Trump when he’s got a hard on for Trump.

How about a 25% surtax on exported lumber. It’s also a tax for Irving industry that lives rent free in so many ways.

Trump called it when the deal was signed, The greatest trade pact of its kind! But then—oh no!—Trump changed his tune, And now he’s threatening to annex us soon!

“Join us now!” he says out loud, As if we’d cheer, as if we’d bow! We are Canadians—strong and free! Don’t fuck with our identity.

So who tells a tale that’s the strongest of all? The ones who cast blame and make others feel small. And if they weren’t friends with a man named Old Trump, They’d be winning not whining about current slumps.

It happened before.

It is actually quite common in the British Westminster tradition we follow.

The earliest being William Pitt the Younger in 1783 who became prime minister at just 24 years old before securing a seat in Parliament. He won a by-election soon after assuming office.

Better to have no seat than no brain.
