Elbows Up! Canada

Our Elbows Up! greeting card doesn’t pull punches—because that’s the whole point. In hockey, “elbows up” means protect yourself, hold your ground, and don’t get pushed around. Lately, it’s taken on a second life in Canadian culture—a blunt, no-nonsense response to threats, noise, and anyone testing the edges of our sovereignty. This piece drives that message home with zero subtlety. A Canadian hockey player delivers a clean, hard elbow straight to Donald Trump’s nose—an unfiltered, symbolic shot at the rhetoric and posturing that’s crossed the line. Trump, dazed in a USA number 47 jersey, looks exactly how you’d expect. The Canadian player—seen only by a gloved arm and stick—wears number 13, representing every province and territory. It’s not polite. It’s not delicate. It’s Canadian pushback—with steel in it. Why They’ll Love It Hard-Hitting Satire: Doesn’t tiptoe—this is bold, in-your-face commentary. “Elbows Up” Energy: Captures that unmistakable Canadian instinct to stand firm and push back. Hockey as Language: Uses the game’s grit to deliver a bigger cultural message. Unapologetically Canadian: Proud, defiant, and not interested in backing down. Conversation Starter: This one sparks reactions—guaranteed. Why You’ll Love It Each card measures 7" x 5" Blank inside for personalized messages Printed on heavy semi-gloss card stock for rich colour and durability Includes a matching envelope
