President Donald Trump really poked the moose when he started making cracks about Canada being the 51st state, and then our men’s team defeated Canada to take the gold medal at the Olympics. America’s relationship with its hat is strained. Could there be some healing in the fact that one of the astronauts circling the moon on Artemis II is a Canadian?
Humor writer Frank J. Fleming decided to have some fun with the diversity of the crew:
Why are we letting a Canadian go to our moon? https://t.co/Wk3X8LjDrL

That joke didn’t land well with Roddy from Canada, who took offense at the phrase, “our moon.”
Our moon. The average US citizen in a nutshell. https://t.co/7th3RUAZnm

That’s right.

As the first humans to ever step foot there, Americans are indigenous to the Moon.
It would be a violation of our human rights for any other country to colonize it by going there and violating our sovereign right to the land.

Your Canadian astronaut must do a land acknowledgement to America as he flies by our moon. https://t.co/BHGeWqsyxJ

We’ll allow it.
It’s to distinguish it from the Canadian moon, which is north of the moon and has a big chip on its moon shoulder https://t.co/wcvZ8IZCuP

It was a joke

Last word to the troublemaker who started it all:
Next time we go to the moon, instead of a Canadian, let’s take one of our cool friends from Japan.
