Not the Bee, apparently.
Those are really going to hurt.
“I will say, manatee meat isn’t something we can make ourselves, but I don’t think it will create too much of a backlash from Canadian consumers,” University of Regina economics professor Jason Childs wryly noted.
I dread checking my email tomorrow. Canadians make up the biggest chunk of my foreign customers for our quality fake beards and I fear a wave of order cancellations. ;-)
I’m sure President Trump is very intimidated.
I am stunned.
It’s not the Bee...
Looks like I have to change my plans for next weekend.

Manatee meat is an incredibly unique culinary experience because it cannot be said to have one singular “taste,” even when you’re talking about one single manatee. Instead, different parts have different flavors.
WHAT, no live monkeys and flamethrowers..thats it, Im gonna write Trump a strongly written anti tariff tweet/sarc
Who eats manatees?
Fake beards?
Obviously, Canadians in high places are INSANE!
“imports targeted by Canada, including “flamethrowers, false beards, church bell cases, and live monkeys,” plus “manatee meat and passenger drones.” OK, good, means more for me.
I am crushed! It will add hundreds of cents to my food budget. But the live monkeys were a pain in the as$ anyway.
Oh, the Huge Manatee!
What will do if we can’t import live monkeys from Canada?!
I demand a retaliatory tariff on polar bear meat.

He then told me he doesn’t care much for manatee himself, though every time he goes out with Joe and “the boys” for hunting or fishing trips, they want to feed him manatee, or sea turtle, or some other odd wild game.
When I asked why he didn’t like the manatee, he said,
“It tastes too much like porpoise!”
Usually my timing is bad - but luckily, I sold my church bell case company last year.
My pet monkey business is another story.
Well, that would keep out Trudeau. But on a more serious note, we can bring in Canadian live monkeys, but Canucks will have to pay more to bring in American monkeys. That's really going to hurt Silver Springs, Florida, I suppose.
CBC reported on Sunday that the Canadian government is purchasing billboards in Republican-voting states, and the District of Columbia, with messages such as, “Tariffs Are a Tax On Your Grocery Bill,” “Tariffs Are a Tax At the Gas Pump,” and “Tariffs Are a Tax On Hard-Working Americans.”
