Well, not in Canada. Or at least not to prevent the tariffs.

You know the old saying: dead billionaires impose no tariffs 🤷

Killing Canadian billionaires won't make the tariffs go away.

It may or may not bring a lot of interesting results. But if you want to change the tariffs, you can't do it in Canada.

I wasn't referring to Canadian billionaires. I'd be more specific but I'm probably already dancing in banhammer area..

if you want to change the tariffs, you can't do it in Canada.

Unless a certain American billionaire comes to visit..
