Political cartoon, by Robert Ariail, posted October 1, 2026. 

1776 Declaration of Independence main drafter, U.S. Minister (ambassador) to France (1785-89), 1st Secretary of State (1790-1793), Vice President (1797-1801), and President (1801-1809), Thomas Jefferson, dressed in “18th century” clothing, holding a scroll with “Jefferson” visible, is quoted in the left frame. Text:

“WERE IT LEFT TO ME TO DECIDE WHETHER WE SHOULD HAVE A GOVERNMENT WITHOUT NEWS-PAPERS, OR NEWSPAPERS WITHOUT A GOVERNMENT, I SHOULD NOT HESITATE A MOMENT TO PREFER THE LATTER.”

Right frame, at extreme right (no pun intended here), is a drawing of current President (and 34x convicted felon) Donald J. Trump, who angrily points at Jefferson beside him and declares:

“YOU'RE BANNED, TOO!”

The United States is taking aim at Canada once again, with a crushing new set of tariffs. Ultimately, government will need to solve this. But in the same way Canadians are avoiding US alcohol, produce, and other goods, they should get off US tech products too. Luckily, I have a guide for that.

ANALYSIS | As Canada deepens ties with Europe, could it leave U.S. banks and dollars behind? | CBC News
Prime Minister Mark Carney last week pointed to international payments as a system that "can be used as leverage against you" before telling the EU that he sees this as an area for "deep co-operation." Why are countries increasingly worried about the leverage the U.S. has over their financial systems, and what would Canada have to do to protect itself from American rogue behaviour?
