MODERATORS
It was during the election, the Liberals convinced people Pierre was going to Kowtow to Trump and remove the counter tariffs, and they said we needed elbows up.
Removing counter tariffs kind of like this actually:

Escalating tariffs wasn't going to solve anything. Taking American products off the shelves without the tariffs is way more effective.
Elbows up was about the 51st state bullshit.
"Elbows Up" became popular after Mike Myers appeared on SNL at the beginning of March, weeks before the Canadian Election was called near the end of March.
