Fucking hilarious. Every time I read one of your names for "him", I thought "That's my favorite!"... by the end, I couldn't make up my mind.

Donnorrhoea 💩 🤣. This is unfortunately what my country has voted for. Most of use are just hoping there are enough guardrails in place to keep him in check for the next four years.

(also, shenanigans!)

This is beyond awesome! Okay Canada, let’s have a vote right now on Substack. I’m sure it’s legal. Since there’s a power vacuum in Canada the size of the biggest Tim Horton donut hole that you can imagine, let’s vote Robin Wilding as our interim leader until the grownups are back in the room.

This: "and unlike your people — we won’t miss." That's all I needed to read.

I would love Canada to annex the US! As a first-generation American (Mom came from Canada) I kept hoping to get deported during Trump 1.0

This is my new glossary of terms. I can't decide if my favorite is Presidementia or Old Whack Donald or or or... oh man, will these get worn out in the coming times.

There needs to be some level of meritocracy-based thought restored to the process of choosing presidential candidates in America. The fact that he had never actually held a public office before he was first elected should have disqualified him from the start.

Your nicknames for Mango Mussolini are even better than your terms for body parts. Permission to spread a few around with credit?

I already love curling, and know the words to "O, Canada". I'm OK with metric.

Please at least take the West Coast in. We have a good economy, warmer beaches, and most of us would love to be Southern British Columbia.

Also consider Minnesota. They're halfway to being you anyway, and you'd get even more lakes.

I agree totally. Though the body parts are stellar!

What a kissass. No, the logical additions to Canada are New Jersey and New York, who will provide millions of people who are mostly liberal, and currently working hard to

be good environmentalists. NJ has the strictest gun laws in the country and supports immigrants, has state healthcare, gives refunds on property taxes, etc. And we are your borders. We can call

it NEW CANADA. Done.

Wait. I just got caught up in it. I just want my country back. Never mind.

I don't know much about the East Coast. But if everything in New England and NY/NJ wanna join Canada, that's cool too. Upstate NY is a stone's throw from Canada anyway. Maine is too, and they're also liberal.

West Coast, northeast coast, take us. You guys can bring the Statue of Liberty to the actually free expanded country of Canada. We'll both bring some excellent shorelines (so many good beaches)and productive liberal cities. And crops from the Golden State and the Garden State. And think of the wine! Plus more Great Lakes.

This was great! Maybe make part of the US Canadian? Trust me, you don’t want it all, but here on the West (Left) Coast, we would make a nice province! (And Donnorrhea is brilliant, by the way!!)

While I always appreciate your humor, the reality of our soon to be 47th president is so so sad. To other nations, we appear ridiculous, like a spoiled, whiny child who has so much and just wants more. Honestly sickens me. We love our northern friends - y’all are wonderful. Please don’t give up on us for allowing him into office. I’d say we will learn from this, but apparently plenty of voters didn’t because this is his second chance to destroy our integrity and our relationships with our allies. But many Americans haven’t given up and hopefully many

more will join us as they see what they’ve done. Or is that too much to hope for?
