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.

      I beg your pardon, out of the 100 kids old enough to talk, 51 said this is the best kid to rule the kindergarten.

        Remember student councils? Doing like elections and shit in grade 6 or whatever.

        People campaign on shit like ‘no school on Fridays if you vote for me’ or ‘a Nintendo in every class’. And people vote accordingly.

        And that’s the extent of our political education and it continues to work even when spoke by the same demonstrable liars and idiots.
