In the wake of ongoing tariffs imposed by the Trump Administration, Canadians are looking for local alternatives to American products. For folks hoping to purchase the favour of a government official, we’ve assembled a list of some of the finest cowards, puppets, and shills that Canada has to offer.

Danielle Smith

For the low, low, price of 10,000 elk killed in an open-pit mine, folks with coal money can purchase a Premier who is as morally corrupt as her American counterparts – yet retains that uniquely Canadian ability to suffocate pristine landscape under a sea of bitumen like it’s the future of a healthcare employee. Plus, every purchase of Danielle Smith comes with a free Kevin O’Leary, who is only one set of dogshit hair plugs away from going Full Musk.

Doug Ford

While the best buy for condo developers, this late model Ford is still a worthy purchase as long as you can get a family discount. Plus he comes with a bunch of neat hats which makes him look very cool and not at all like a giant loser who everyone talks shit about the second you leave the room, Doug.

Justin Trudeau

If ethics aren’t your thing, this gently used PM-turned-MP is all yours for a little light bribery – plus, he comes in a variety of colours!

Pierre Poilievre

Don’t let your dream of owning a potato-faced dork be limited to members of the GOP! With the charm of a hemorrhoid and the charisma of a bowl of cold chowder smeared across a Circle K bathroom, Poilievre is an effective multi-tool capable of capitulating to big business all while knee-capping affordable housing. He is currently in the process of blowing a slam-dunk election, however, so be sure to snatch him up before he’s gone!

"In a surprise announcement today, Liberal leader Mark Carney has committed to implementing proportional representation within the first 100 days of forming government after the April 28th election.

'We have heard Canadians loud and clear,' Carney stated during a campaign stop in Winnipeg. 'The time for electoral reform is now, and we are fully committed to ensuring every vote counts.'

The Liberal plan would introduce a Mixed Member Proportional system similar to New Zealand's, with the legislation to be drafted immediately after the election.

'This isn't just a promise,' Carney added. 'We've already prepared the draft legislation and have secured cross-party support.'

When asked about the party's previous broken promise on electoral reform in 2015, Carney displayed a calendar prominently showing today's date — April 1st, 2025.

'April Fools!' the Liberal leader laughed. 'We've been making this same promise since Mackenzie King in 1919. Did you really think we'd follow through this time?'

Carney then unveiled the party's actual platform: 'Making Every Vote Count*'

*Fine print: Terms and conditions apply. Promise valid only until election day. Not available in provinces where electoral reform is desired."

The image is an infographic titled "The Liberal's Broken Promise: Electoral Reform" that displays a vertical timeline with colored dots and information boxes chronicling electoral reform events in Canada.

The timeline shows six key events:

1. June 2015 (pink dot): Campaign Promise - Justin Trudeau pledges: "We are committed to ensuring the 2015 election will be the last election using first-past-the-post."

2. October 2015 (blue dot): Election Victory - Liberals win a majority government with 39.5% of the popular vote, securing 184 seats (54% of the House of Commons).

3. June 2016 (light blue dot): Special Committee Created - The Electoral Reform Committee (ERRE) is established to study options. The committee conducts consultations across Canada.

4. December 2016 (red dot): Committee Recommendations - The ERRE recommends proportional representation. 88% of electoral experts consulted favoured proportional representation.

5. February 2017 (blue dot): Promise Abandoned - PM Trudeau abandons electoral reform, claiming "no consensus" despite clear committee recommendations and public consultations.

6. October 2024 (black dot): Looking Back - Trudeau admits he should have "immediately shut down talk about proportional representation" and that Liberals were "deliberately vague."

Below the timeline is a "Key Statistics" box showing:

• 63% of voters cast ballots for parties promising electoral reform
• 80% of town hall participants asked for proportional representation
• 71% wanted parties to govern together

New Democrats will always show up for you—just as you've shown up for us.

New Democrats secured dental care, pharmacare, anti-scab legislation, and more because what we're all about: delivering programs that change people's lives.

And Jagmeet is ready to fight for more.

The far-right hijacked the GOP and gained power in the U.S. thanks to first-past-the-post.

Proportional representation prevents hostile takeovers—no group gets outsized influence without real voter support.

Pierre Poilievre once said politicians shouldn’t stay in office for life. That was 1999. It’s 2025—he’s still here, with the same angry rhetoric and no results. Now he wants to kill public media and silence journalists. What’s he so afraid of? #SaveTheCBC #CdnPoli #Canada

"Politics should not be a lifelong career, and elected officials should not be allowed to fix themselves in the halls of power of a nation... Therefore, I would institute a limit of two terms for members of Parliament" - Pierre Poilievre 1990

There are over a hundred Green parties around the world, but the only country in which they’ve ever held actual power is Germany. Still, it’s never wise to write the Greens off entirely, notes @arnokopecky.bsky.social. thewalrus.ca/the-withering-of...

While Trump threatens health care, Canadian provinces are stepping up to bring in US doctors and nurses.

Doctors from overseas should be allowed to work from coast-to-coast-to coast. The NDP is focused on expanding health care for all Canadians—because everyone deserves care, not chaos.

More New Democrats in Ottawa means YOU are better off.

With 25 of us, we fought for the biggest expansion of health care in a generation. We brought you dental care and pharma care.

These are concrete things that improve people’s lives.

If you elect New Democrats, we will fight every day for you.
