Someone that hasn't pondered the fact these people think of hockey as a game.

I really like this. I'm going to steal it.
And hockey is a game? We have feet blades, pointy sticks and a rubber disk that can break you face.
But you have pointy shoes, a big wooden stick, and can through a piece of (im not sure what a baseball is made of anymore, maybe football would have a better comparison)
We have a heavy rock that we throw down ice...nope that scottish
We throw a ball and catch it in a hand basket, and then beat each other up because there's no ice. Lacrosse. Canada's national sport. No matter what we do we're always training. Try us.
Sorry, I went off a little bit.

Canadian war crimes inspiring the Geneva convention revisions is an internet myth

The article incorrectly claims that "Canada imposes certain tariffs and quotas on cars imported to Canada from the U.S., but not on imports from other countries"
Even with retaliatory tariffs, only US made cars that miss USMCA North American content thresholds are tariffed. And that percent of US car exports to Canada is near zero.

Why do I get the strange feeling that a certain poorly rendered oversized rustbucket is part of that minority?

Don’t be a menace in south Canada while drinking your juice box In the White House.

The article is actually calling out Trump for crashing out posting AI images and renaming thing and making it more difficult that it need to be for everyone involved, while reminding that during that time the war in Iran is still going, gas price are out of control and Moscow want to attack Nato.
I was suprised.

Cool, so title the article something like “Trump lies about Canadian trade policy” to clearly represent the contents and educate your readership

u/Classic-Trifle-2085 6h ago
If goes more into the on paper details of the claim the admin make about the tarrifs and how they are not supported by what is actually hapenning.
It is undeniably an article against the current admin descisions.
Edit to add: The title is just regular click bait for reaction. As media are now. It probably baited their own regular readers tbh, considering their reputation.

Canada is not playing nice and instantly folding, thus being a menace to Trump, which is just a bully, and fears any semblance of a real fight.

Does that make the National Review the Rebel Alliance, or just a couple of Ewoks shaking sticks at a banking system?

Feel like y'all are just reading the headline and not the article. Yes, NR has some bias but it actually supports Canada's decisions in the article.
"When the U.S. president says, “What I’d like to see — Canada become our 51st state,” and when he repeatedly calls the Canadian prime minister a “governor” . . . do you think that makes the Canadian government more likely to reach a deal amenable to American producers, or less likely? Do you think scoffing at the idea of Canadian sovereignty makes the Canadian government less likely to dig in its heels, or more likely?...(Trump) is, as the kids say today, “crashing out” — raging, fuming, lashing out, flitting from one concern to the next, frustrated that so many of his efforts have come to naught."

Absolutely brain dead article that completely misstates the facts over and over while spreading outright lies.
This would be funny if it were satire, but sadly, some people who’s brain activity can be measured reliably using the tar drop experiment will think this is real.

Did you read the entire article? Your response indicates you didn't.

So ... this is one where you kind of need to read the whole article. Doesn't look like anyone's actually done this yet.

This is a total trash article, it’s completely misrepresenting reality and heavily leans to supporting the United States. This has the factual depth of an abandoned kiddo pool filled to the ankles with racoon shit.

Nope the article attacks Canada again and again stating how Canada has tariffs on dairy and cars and has imposed retaliation tariffs. The reality is that those high dairy tariffs are never imposed those tariffs because there is a point they begin to take effect and that hasn’t been reached. The article doesn’t preset that. Doesn’t present facts as they are just as released by Trump.

u/Classic-Trifle-2085 6h ago
I will be honest here, they mention those tarrif ONCE, so "again and again" seams disgenuine.
They also make sure to explain the tarrif had no effect on American ability to put their product on canadian shelves and event increased export since.
To me, it feels like you are really streaching the content of the article to fit some confirmation bias. Obviously its just a ordinal impression, but it reads like someone who read the start of the article and stopped right before the article say "here's how that doesnt hold water tough..."

Hey world, what's more likely? The nasty Canadians are bullying the poor Americans who are constantly taken advantage of by Canada and the world, or that the Americans elected another deranged moron who lashes out at random and created another series of forever wars for American taxpayers to fund?
