Canada

WASHINGTON — President Trump added a new name Thursday to the list of countries he accuses of preying on American workers and exploiting naïve American trade policies: Canada.
From the NYTimes

Canucks are awful tricky -- they will fool you with their smiles,
While stealing all your bizzness from tomatoes to textiles.
Don’t think they are thick witted or accommodating -- no!
They’re plotting our destruction amidst all that blasted snow.
They’ll underbid and undercharge until the USA
Cannot afford a pot to use to -- I really shouldn’t say.
In Montreal they laugh at us; in Ottawa they sneer --
But all they really know is how to drink up Molson beer.
The trade imbalance must be fixed -- there’s no time for delay.
If they must send us snowshoes we should send them Frito Lay!
And if they won’t take quotas that we give them cheerfully,
We’ll beat them with lacrosse sticks, albeit tearfully.
