Quite possibly the dumbest thing you've ever posted. Yet, I have hope, there's always next hour.

Canada's Carney Backs Down On Tariffs As Trump Welcomes Another Win
sauceAnother major economy and country backs down, and Trump wins again - as on Friday Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada will drop its retaliatory tariffs in step with the United States.
Carney in a Friday press conference said the US side clarified it would not apply tariffs to Canadian products that adhere to the terms of the US-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement. Even Politico has starkly described it as Carney backs down in a major concession.
Carney stated: “I am announcing today that the Canadian government will now match the United States by removing all of Canada’s tariffs on US goods specifically covered under USMCA", previewing that the change will take effect on September 1.
The White House hailed the move: "We welcome this move by Canada, which is long overdue. We look forward to continuing our discussions with Canada on the Administration's trade and national security concerns," a Trump admin official said. And more via breaking Canadian media reports:
- U.S. President Donald Trump commended the tariff removal, calling it "nice" and saying he wanted to "be good to Canada."
- Trump raised tariffs on some Canadian goods to 35 per cent on Aug. 1.
- The Trump administration said Canada's rate was being hiked in response to fentanyl trafficking and Canada's earlier decision to hit back with counter-tariffs.
I placed it in this thread because Canuckistan has a severe Jeet problem and, in the image, a Canuck is solving the problem.
