Original Note:
The joke falsely says the US buys nothing from Canada. Most US crude oil comes from Canada, etc. The joke means "We don't buy enough from Canada to care about their retaliatory tariffs," but what it actually says is a dangerous falsehood that requires explanatory comment. https://www.forbes.com/sites/garthfriesen/2025/01/31/what-we-know-and-dont-know-about-us-tariffs-on-canada-and-mexico/
