We're seeing this in Canada now too. Murcan products with a big maple leaf on them. Some stores are also slapping maple leafs on obviously Murcan products. We're calling it Maple-washing.

I wonder what Murcans should call this OP example. Star-washing?

Fake news.

BREAKING: IMPERIAL DEATH STAR OBLITERATES ALDERAAN, BILLIONS PRESUMED DEAD

By John Patriot, Fox News Galactic Correspondent May 5, 2025

IMPERIAL CENTER — In a show of overwhelming force that has sent shockwaves throughout the galaxy, the Galactic Empire's new battle station, dubbed the "Death Star," has completely destroyed the peaceful planet of Alderaan. Imperial sources confirm the planet was reduced to asteroids in a matter of seconds.

Emperor Palpatine defended the military action as "necessary to maintain peace and security" across the galaxy, citing intelligence reports claiming Alderaan had become a hotbed for Rebel Alliance sympathizers.

"This was not a decision taken lightly," said Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin in an exclusive interview. "But when faced with growing terrorist threats from the so-called Rebel Alliance, we had no choice but to demonstrate the consequences of treason against the legitimate government of the galaxy."

Republican senators praised the decisive action, with Senator Orrin Maul (R-Dathomir) calling it "a much-needed response to the weak policies of previous administrations that allowed rebel insurgency to fester."

Critics on the left have decried the destruction as "disproportionate" and "an unprecedented humanitarian disaster," but military experts note that the demonstration of the Death Star's capabilities may prevent future conflicts by deterring other systems from harboring rebel elements.

Imperial military strategist Admiral Firmus Piett explained, "Sometimes you need to make an example. The destruction of one planet could save countless lives by preventing a prolonged galactic civil war."

The Death Star, described as a moon-sized battle station with unprecedented firepower, represents the pinnacle of Imperial military technology. Sources close to the project say it was completed ahead of schedule and under budget, a testament to Imperial efficiency.

Princess Leia Organa, a suspected Rebel sympathizer and Alderaan's representative in the Imperial Senate, was reportedly detained hours before the incident on charges of espionage and treason. Imperial authorities have confirmed she is being held for questioning regarding stolen technical data.

Markets responded positively to the news, with Imperial Defense contractors seeing stocks surge by as much as 15%. Economic analysts predict a boom in reconstruction and security sectors as the Empire continues its campaign to restore order.

The Emperor is expected to address the galaxy tomorrow from the Imperial Palace, where he will likely outline next steps in the ongoing effort to secure peace and stability for law-abiding citizens throughout Imperial space.

Fox News will continue to provide updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.

If he's 100% Trump, the Trump tariff is $100. Simple.

Tell him to buy $23 worth of $TRUMP coin or he'll be deported for ripping off his lord and saviour.

Danielle Smith already did it live on air. No need to get Vance involved.

Easy peasy orange squeezy.

This is the best use of taxpayer dollars in a long time. /s

  1. Do they really have nothing better to do?
  2. They're all supposed to be busy redacting Epstein files.

America has been subsidizing Canada

2024: Canada imports ~$480 billion total from the USA. Divided by 40 million Canadian population, that's $12,000 for every man, woman, and child spent on American shit.

USA imports ~$586 billion from Canada. Divided by 400 million population, that's only $1,465 per capita, and that's only 1/8th of the amount that Canadians bought from the USA in return.

##BUY CANADIAN, BE FAIR!##

You can't compare apples to apples when one side of the equation has 10 times the population. If we're trying to be fair, Trumpistan needs to buy 8 times more Canadian shit!

Tariffs on the Canadian side will be reciprocal and will only serve to make us stop buying Murcan shit, leading to an even bigger Trumped-up deficit and the loss of their biggest, best customer. Likely long-term.
