Still sovereign. Still Canadian. Still counting. 🍁

So, what is this?

The view from next door.

One countdown, a little dry humour, and no complicated dashboard. This independent satire site counts toward noon Eastern Time on January 20, 2029 — the constitutionally scheduled end of the current U.S. presidential term.

Today's reason we're counting

About the date: This timer uses January 20, 2029 at 12:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time as its target. Under the Twentieth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, presidential terms end at noon on January 20. The timer represents the constitutionally scheduled term boundary; it is not a prediction about future events. This website is unofficial, satirical, and is not affiliated with any government, political party, candidate, or campaign. Commentary is presented as commentary; factual claims in the receipts section link to their primary sources.
