OTTAWA - Following America's unprecedented levying of 25% tariffs on all Canadian products, Prime Minister Trudeau announced that Canada will apply retaliatory tariffs to specific US goods, including any Trump family businesses that haven't already been driven into insolvency.

Asked whether US citizens should be concerned about economic fallout from Trump’s tariffs, Trudeau added, “I’m sure Americans can sleep soundly knowing that their entire economic future is being steered by the guy who bankrupted four separate casinos.”

        It is, the Beaverton is very oniony. Trudeau is starting to fight back irl too though.

          The title got me. The Beaverton has had a hard time making up news that is more ridiculous than reality.

      I mean he was a little bit spicy if you watched the press conference, but the Beaverton is satire like The Onion.

    This is satire in a way we wish reality was. At some point though, sanctions on US oligarchs will probably happen, same way we did Russians. It doesn’t seem effective, but it certainly pisses them off.
