Let Them Eat Cake
When Marie Antoinette was being told that the peasants did not even have bread, she replied by saying the above. Donald Trump, during an interview was questioned about the fact that tariffs would dramatically increase the costs of purchasing an automobile. This is how he responded. “I couldn’t care less. I hope they raise their…

Only Two Months
Believe it or not, Donald Trump’s presidency is not even two months old yet. It has felt like two decades. In the last 24 hours alone, Trump imposed 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum against the entire world. The entire world has retaliated by imposing tariffs on the US. The EU imposed a 50% tariff…

Dow Down
As I chirp this, the Dow Jones has gone down to another 300 points this morning. This follows losses of 900 and 500 points, the previous two days.

Presidents Trump and Musk have taken a scythe in cutting down the number of US federal employees.

Make My Day
Talk about symbolism. This photo was taken a few days ago. It occurred in Ontario. There was a Canada goose on the ice. The bald eagle apparently thought that the goose was easy prey. First of all the eagle should’ve realized you can’t beat a Canadian on the ice. The eagle and the goose squared…

Trump Burnt
this is the Canadian beaver. The Canadian beaver has become a symbol of Canada. Beavers look cute,, but you don’t want to piss a beaver off. A beaver’s home is called a lodge. Beavers are very protective of their homes. Donald Trump attacked our home, yesterday, with his tariffs. He tried to intimidate. Prime Minister…

The Oxford, dictionary defiance war as follows, “a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state.” Economic war has been defined as follows, “an economic strategy used by belligerent states with the goal of weakening the economy of other states.” Note the term belligerent. Donald Trump fired the…

Told You So
My chirp, yesterday, centred around Justin Trudeau, telling business and labour leaders last Friday that Trump was serious about annexing Canada. Yesterday, thought for a whole pre-Super Bowl audience, on Fox entertainment, Trump confirmed this. When asked if he was serious about annexing Canada, “Yeah it is a real thing” “I think Canada would be…
