Meanwhile Canada has been selling Cuban cigars for decades.

Their virtue signaling is a joke.

Um...if it’s on their shelves, doesn’t that mean that they’ve already paid for it?

Canadians boo the anthem at the hockey game.

But the next morning they are lined up to cross into the USA to shop.

So in the absence of competition, Canadian distilleries will increase their prices. Canadian liberals are just as stupid as our democrats.

Red state or blue state it doesn’t matter

The election is over

This shows how in-denial leftists are

We will all be blue states by the time the next election comes around.

Their front runners are AOC, Tim Walz and David Hogg

And now an escalating trade war will lead to probably a 20% decline in the stock market.

This is brilliant, really. The liquor store will declare they “destroyed” the US product while selling it under the counter. They declare a loss on income and make more money tax-free.
