The thing that is implied but not stated outright is that if Canada is not subservient to the US, then it must be subservient to China. Obviously, there are more choices for us.

…Please don’t link DailyBeast.

If you want to stick it to the US, block US tabloids. Please don’t give them views.

" Melania was tounging my ass so good I had to put her number in my phone as "roll up the rim to win."

"I made your wife cum so hard they made a Canadian Heritage Minute our of it and Don McKellar played my dick."

" I made Melania so wet that Trudeau deployed a 24 hour infantry unit to stack sandbags around my bed"

Very little of what the sack of orange mayonnaise says shocks me these day, but this got me.

Trump has to be the stupidest mother fucker on the planet right now.

Not as stupid as the idiots believing his verbal diarrhoea

I wonder if his handlers have a pool going for who can get him to say the most deranged thing.

We in Canada lost our Lacrosse while dealing with the americans and that was our national sport for God's sake! We can't lose our ice hockey to China! /s

China has a good sledge hockey team.
