Watching President Donald Trump bat around Justin Trudeau like a hapless mouse has been a treat for many patriotic Americans, and now it’s time for Ron DeSantis to take a swipe.
The Canadian Prime Minister drew plenty of mockery last week when he vowed to fight Trump’s newly implemented 25% tariffs. During his rant that was partly threatening and partly groveling, Trudeau floated that Canadians may no longer be vacationing in warm Florida.
That’s where Florida Governor Ron DeSantis comes in.
“That’s not much of a boycott,” DeSantis said of the estimated $3.3 million Canadian tourists who visit the Sunshine State annually. “Maybe they wanted to get a glimpse of what a Stanley Cup winning hockey team actually looks like.”
Ouch!

DeSantis earned a round of applause during his live remarks, and also on X:
@GovRonDeSantis why do you need to dredge up ancient history about the last time they won a Stanley Cup? Were you in high school when that happened? It’s just mean. Deliciously mean. I love it. 😉

Florida teams have won 3 out of the last five Stanley Cups

We have our tickets to the U.S. booked…and this weekend, we’ll be heading across the border to do some shopping! The “media” aren’t Canadians…I am Canadian!

Over 121 million visitors a year come to Florida. Florida will not even notice Canadian visitors missing.

142,000 in 2024, according to DeSantis.
People can’t stay away from Florida, Canadians need their sunshine too! It’s all empty threats
