Spoof News Services: Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario: 6February2025: The Minister of Well Being of Canada, Dr. Hellbert Humdinger, announced today sporadic swells of a new physiological-psychiatric disease are rapidly spreading throughout the country. Scientists at the Psychiatric Centre for Canadian Mental Health in Hamilton, Ontario have identified the affliction as romanempoerosisbactilius.
The cause has been preliminarily attributed to the stress inflicted on adult Canadians by various inflammatory remarks made by the President of the United States Donald J. Trump threatening to make Canada the 51st state of the United States and the imposition of punishing tariffs applicable to Canadian exports to the United States.
The symptoms are booing the American national anthem at sporting events, fear of travelling to the United States and a deep distrust of Americans particularly those wearing MAGA hats. Particularly susceptible to PTSD are autoworkers, Albertan cattle farmers and oil workers and Quebec pork producers. In extreme cases some victims resort to extreme measures including cancellation of leisure trips to the United States and refusing to purchase American agricultural products notably Florida orange juice and liquor.
There are no vaccines available at present.
There have been reports of PTSD in the United States particularly in Detroit amongst autoworkers, tourism workers in Florida/Arizona/California and in Tennessee amongst bourbon producers and those in car assembly facilities.
Dr. Humdinger stated that attempts have been made to confer with the Centre for Disease Control in the United States but as the entire agency has been “laid off” no one has been answering the phones.
Dr. Humdinger had strongly advised all Canadians to avoid watching the upcoming Super Bowl lest it spark further outbreaks of PTSD. Dr. Humdinger expressed concern the affliction has apparently just been reported in Greenland.
