DEFCON MAPLE SYRUP: Carney Prepared for a Trump Invasion, and X Has Entered the Chat

This just in from the Syrupean Union news wire, and hoo-boy!

It has long been said that Donald Trump lives rent-free in the heads of his enemies. Apparently, he's picked up some friends and neighbors along the way. This writer isn't quite sure which category Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney belongs in these days, but here we are.

Making matters worse, if the Syrupeans were hoping we wouldn't notice the insanity... we did! LOL

If this is the 'evidence' behind the more breathless headlines, somebody may have skipped right over the words 'extreme tail risk' and 'not a base case.'

The year isn't over, and Carney is still in office, but you might be right.

Hey! That's an insult to kids like Ralphie here!  

It's true but still insulting... 

Well, except hockey... er, wait.

Maybe syrup? No, Vermont's is better. 

Yep, they got nothin'.

This is a valid point too.

Wait, the Sarge could be onto something. It isn't like we couldn't send in the C team or even the D team; it's CANADA!

This is a required notification that a meme checkpoint has been reached. The above meme has been copied for future use. 

Look, governments planning for extremely unlikely disasters is hardly new. Somewhere in Ottawa, there's probably a binder for asteroid strikes, killer bees, and a worldwide shortage of maple syrup.

But once 'extreme tail risk' becomes 'Trump might invade Canada,' you can't really blame X for breaking out the war crayons.

Sleep tight, Syrupeans. The Mounties remain on standby.
