Well... Tabarnac!

“Well, tabarnac!” A very Canadian reaction to modern politics — delivered as satire, calm judgment, and merch.

Well… tabarnac.

That was the collective Canadian response when CanadiAmerica stopped being a joke and started feeling plausible.

Somewhere south of the border, people are yelling.
Somewhere north of it, people are apologizing for interrupting.

And right in the middle of that awkward silence, CanadiAmerica appeared — not as a country, not as a movement, but as a polite thought experiment with merch.

Let’s be clear (politely):
No one is annexing anything.
No borders are moving.
No maple syrup-based treaties are being signed.

This is satire.

But also… have you SEEN the news?

CanadiAmerica exists because the idea of calm has become controversial. Because healthcare sounds radical. Because basic human rights feel negotiable. Because saying “sorry” now feels like a power move.

So instead of shouting, we did the most Canadian thing possible:

We made jokes.
We made merch.
We said “you’re welcome” before anyone asked.

If this makes you laugh — great.
If it makes you uncomfortable — also great.
If you’re “just looking” — we see you.

This is not a country.
This is not advice.
This is not an exit strategy.

This is CanadiAmerica.

Blue states welcome.
Sorry in advance.
