Canadian Cafes Are Trolling Donald Trump By Renaming Their "Americano"
🔥 Full coverage and conversation on Politics
Since returning to the presidency, Donald Trump has not left Canada (arguably our closest ally) alone.
Despite significant pushback from Canadians, he's threatened " economic force" to make Canada join the US and become the 51st state.
And he's declared 25% tariffs on Canadian goods beginning this month.
Well, Canadians are fed up, and they are protesting Trump's threats via coffee menu.
Canadian cafes from Ottawa to Toronto are now renaming their "Americanos" to "Canadianos."
A Toronto cafe owner named William Oliveira said in an interview with The Washington Post that his shop made the change to "stand up for being ourselves and reminding other people...that we're not to be pushed around and bullied by others."
Another cafe owner in Ottawa said his shop renamed their Americano to "make light of a serious situation." "We don't need any American products right now,' he said to CTV News. "It seems like a really good way to say we're Canadian."

"That some Gulf of America energy," another person agreed.

This person believes Canadian cafes should go a step further: "American here. May I suggest a 'Gulp of Mexico' and a 'Denali Decaf' be considered for the menu? Some of us, including the Associated Press, refuse to bow to the the Orange Mussolini and his ridiculous renamings."

A Nobel Peace Prize for Trump — but seriously, folks
None of the four nations that joined the Abraham Accords had ever been at war with Israel (other than a small expeditionary force Get The Gavel A weekly SCOTUS explainer newsletter by columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr. Enter Email Sign Up The rest of his argument relies on a lot of maybes. Maybe Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries will join in; perhaps the preliminary peace deal between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda will hold up; oh, and might Trump even 'work a new miracle in Ukraine?' Advertisement Additionally, awarding such an honor as the Nobel Peace Prize to Trump ought to take into account the full measure of the man's personality and moral character. How would history judge granting such a prestigious award — for peace! – to such a person? Advertisement A true promoter of world peace is guided by more noble intentions, not purely so that he can add 'Peace Prize' to his resume. Trump doesn't even try to hide his egotistical obsession with this pursuit, recently stating, Let's hope the Nobel Committee, in its wisdom, chooses a more deserving honoree. Richard Feinberg Boston Events of Jan. 6, 2021, are a disqualifying factor John J. Miller, director of the Dow Journalism Program at Hillsdale College in Michigan, argues that Donald Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. I argue that the attempted coup on Jan. 6, 2021, at Trump's urging would disqualify him from ever getting near any prize, especially one with 'peace' attached to it. Involving himself in recent warring conflicts and claiming his ability to procure peace is a charade, typified by his showing up at the last minute to claim ownership of resolutions of peace negotiations. The Norwegian Nobel Committee's prize for peace would lose vast amounts of credibility if its members ever elevated Trump with their hallowed award. Trump's thirsty attempts to get attention and crassly continuing to ask that he receive the Nobel are an embarrassment to America and to the Nobel Peace Prize. Tobin Wirt Sandwich Peace begins at home To think that Donald Trump can bring peace to the world is ludicrous. Maybe he has brought stability (but the proof remains in how long it lasts) in Africa and the Middle East, but his waffling commitment to Ukraine and his tacit support of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's actions in Gaza disqualify him completely. His tariff pronouncements don't suggest peace, and his bullying of our neighbors and his pursuit of retribution against countries that don't toe his line, such as Brazil, are not the pursuit of peace. And peace begins at home. The imposition of the National Guard in cities is not a peaceful action. Advertisement Trump wants the Peace Prize as one more personal trophy. He hasn't earned it. Katharine Gregg Amherst The prize would be a bitter irony Since our president and his minions are spending so much effort lobbying for a Nobel Prize to acknowledge all his work toward a peace in Ukraine, one has to wonder: Is it the peace or the fame that is being pursued by this cabal of zealots?
