Hard days in Ottawa.
The hostility betwixt the United States of America and northern neighbor Canada was a turn few saw coming. Canadians, generally good-natured and kind, were pushed into a state of bitter rage by U.S. President Donald J. Trump who dislikes poutine, ice hockey and maple syrup. The two countries have, in recent months, slapped each other with tariffs, booed each other’s national anthems and gotten into wicked ice fights.
Things are set to get much worse, though, as America’s Bella Kenworthy, a highly-regarded rookie on the World Surf League’s Championship Tour, just trounced Canada’s Erin Brooks, considered by many to be a prodigy, in round 16 the the Surf City El Salvador Pro down Punta Rrrrrroca way.
The heat featured hit lips, blown tails and bogged rails.
Canadians celebrated as their girl got a score to go ahead, with minimal time left, after Kenworthy fell asleep with priority. It was not to last, though, as the fates gifted her another wave that ended Brooks’ hope.
Trump likely rejoiced in the victory as he once declared, “I deal with every country, indirectly or directly. One of the nastiest countries to deal with is Canada.”
