**Senators Visit Canada to Discuss Tariffs and 51st-State Tensions with PM Carney**
In a historic meeting that can only be described as “the most Canadian thing ever,” a delegation of U.S. senators crossed the border to discuss tariffs and the ever-looming question of whether Canada should become the 51st state. The meeting took place in a cozy igloo (or as they call it, a “parliament building”) where Prime Minister Mark Carney greeted them with a warm “Eh, welcome!” and a plate of maple syrup-infused donuts.
Senator Chuck “The Tariffinator” Schumer led the charge, declaring, “We need to talk tariffs, eh? I mean, how else are we going to keep our maple syrup prices from skyrocketing? I can’t afford to pay $10 for a bottle of syrup! That’s just un-American!”
Meanwhile, Senator Ted “The Great White North” Cruz suggested that Canada should just go ahead and join the U.S. already. “I mean, you’ve got the hockey, the poutine, and the politeness. What more do you need? Just think of the tax breaks!” he exclaimed, while trying to convince a moose to join the conversation.
PM Carney, trying to keep the peace, responded, “We appreciate the offer, but we’re quite happy being the world’s second-largest country. Plus, we have a strict ‘no politics’ policy in our hockey games, and we’d like to keep it that way.”
As the meeting progressed, tensions rose when Senator Lindsey Graham suggested that Canada should adopt the U.S. Constitution, to which Carney replied, “Sure, but only if you promise to keep the ‘pursuit of happiness’ clause. We need that for our beaver population.”
In the end, the senators left with a promise to revisit the tariff discussions and a newfound appreciation for Canadian bacon, which they insisted on calling “ham.” As they crossed back into the U.S., one senator was overheard saying, “If we can’t have their syrup, we might as well take their politeness. It’s the least we can do!”
And so, the saga continues, as Canada remains steadfast in its quest to avoid becoming the 51st state, while the U.S. senators continue to ponder the mysteries of maple syrup economics and the true meaning of “eh.”
