Ottawa, July 30<\/em> \u2014 In a baffling yet confident statement this morning, Canada formally requested that Donald Trump, should he return to power, reintroduce and even expand sanctions against the country. The reason? \u201cThey worked wonders last time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finance officials from Ottawa say that U.S. sanctions during Trump’s presidency unintentionally boosted Canadian industry by forcing local innovation, reducing imports, and strengthening national pride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cFrankly, we\u2019re better off when he\u2019s angry,\u201d said Deputy Finance Minister Sylvain Roy. \u201cThe last round of tariffs triggered a manufacturing boom, a tech surge, and an unexpected increase in maple syrup sales.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A confidential memo leaked from the Prime Minister\u2019s office reportedly refers to Trump as \u201cCanada\u2019s most effective unintentional economic advisor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, Trump was said to be \u201cstrongly considering it,\u201d telling a small crowd at his golf course in Doral:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThey want sanctions? I\u2019ll give them the best sanctions they\u2019ve ever seen. You\u2019ll be begging for regular trade again. Nobody sanctions better than me. Ask China.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Canada\u2019s new economic strategy, nicknamed \u201cOperation Thank You, Donald,\u201d includes a toolkit of passive-aggressive policies designed to provoke Trump:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Quietly removing ketchup from hotel menus in Alberta<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Broadcasting French-dubbed versions of Fox News into Michigan<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Naming a Halifax landfill \u201cTrump Ridge\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Parliament has also debated issuing Trump Tariff Bonds<\/strong> to raise money from future rounds of U.S. economic punishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Meanwhile, Trudeau declined to comment but was seen smiling while drinking an imported Diet Coke \u2014 one of the few U.S. products still surviving the last trade war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Economists remain divided. Some say Canada is playing a dangerous game. Others believe it\u2019s a rare moment of diplomatic jiu-jitsu: using a geopolitical rival\u2019s ego to fund national growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One thing is clear \u2014 as one MP put it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    \u201cIf Trump wins, we\u2019d like front-row seats. And higher import taxes, please.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
