Don’t negotiate with terrorists. His words are worthless because he doesn’t honour them. We need to shift pur economy away from the US right the fuck now.
I thought the American border services were responsible for monitoring who and what enters the US from Canada? Surely the US is the one to blame for letting it in?
(Rhetorical)
They’re only responsible unless it’s something like 911 and then they bear no responsibilities whatsoever, according to 2001 TV and news and politicians and newspapers and basically all of American reality at the time
I would’ve rather we had the tariffs to be honest than negotiate with a compulsive liar with no ethics.
Not sure how much negotiating we have done. Nothing was committed to Trump that was not already in progress other than the “Fentanyl Cxar” ( whatever that means ). Probably it means giving that dumb American title to somebody already in charge of the border.
Trump got played.
The responsibility lies with Canadians now to wean ourselves off American products until a friendlier administration gets into office.
Keep the liquor bans, keep the tariffs on US products until the 30 days are up. A month of pain to make the point that Canada is not just an economic appendage.
While tempting, such a move would guarantee the trade war actually begins. Ideally, Canada isn’t slammed with tariffs in the first place.
He is wiling to play “I’m gonna fuck you so hard-- just kidding” and Canadian’s don’t have the finances to deal with that every 30 days. A line in the sand that says “we are willing to continue to be your partner but will not tolerate ANY fuckery” is worth a some economic pain as long as it is predictable.
It’s literally just going to be whichever cabinet minister is already in charge of that portfolio. Say what you want about everything else he did as prime minister, but Trudeau has always been able to deal with Trump’s bullshit. Who knew high school drama teach would be such incredibly relevant job experience.

I’m definitely using that one.
Why Canada? Why? Please keep the tarifs on red states. Please funnel commerce through blue states. Snowflake orange dipshit will screw over anyone but himself and those dumber than him. We need a wakeup call!
Screw it.
Block it all. Block it ALL!!!
I’ve been saying for years (decades?) that we need to stop treating the US like a friend. At the very best, they’re a giant that may roll over in their sleep and crush us.
But now, the US has openly declared (economic) war on us, and Trump still keeps talking about making us the 51st state.
We need to swallow the pain and block the US as much as humanly possible. Ban immigration from the US - including cross-border married couples and asylum-seekers. Visas owned by Americans working in Canada will not be renewed on expiration. Start enforcing CanCon laws again, across all media (esp. streaming platforms). Deny access to Canada for all pro-fascist organizations. Fox News and Newsmax? Gone.
This isn’t about Trump’s stupid tariffs, it’s about what he intends to use them for - leverage to take over Canada. We’ve been too complacent and complicit for too long, but it’s time to stand, united, at our southern border and say “you shall not pass.”
They are smart. They are taking the extra 30 days to cut the U.S. out of everything they can. They even said this was the reason they didn’t kick off all of their tariffs for 90 days - to let Canadian companies find alternatives.
Damage to the U.S. has already been done.
When somebody says “Fentanyl Czar”
I just imagine someone coked out of their absolute mind.
But they’re the fentanyl Czar, so they’d be doing the nod, and occasionally the Hastings shuffle.
Fentanyl Czar kind of makes it sound like he’s the one in charge of selling it.
It really does.
There’s a new fentanyl king in town. Good luck stopping it now you fuckers.
I kinda want that 100% performative job
I’d probably walk around the wilderness near our borders taking daily pictures of Canadian nature and showing that there’s no fentanyl out there.
Of course if I find any I would call it in.
I hope whoever gets the job gets to wear one of those little furry Russian hats
Weird posture… We will stop fentanyl coming to US… If Canada does that, that poison stays in CA?
That’s like giving a horse dose to a dog lol
I’m more wanting them to keep firearms out of Canada than worrying about the tiny bit going into the US.
I mean we absolutely should keep fent out of our country entirely, that way it won’t get trafficked to the US either. Fuck fentanyl and what it does to people.
HOWEVER, the amount of fentanyl going to the US from Canada is extremely low, almost negligible compared to all the other ways it’s getting into the US. It’s just an excuse to invoke emergency powers so he doesn’t need to go through congress to impose tariffs and can also break the trade agreement that he himself signed. It was never about fentanyl, we’re never going to “solve” the problem in his eyes because the problem he’s claiming we have is almost entirely made up.
He can also keep his neighboring countries from focusing on what he is actually doing within his own by threatening their sovereignty. The threats are serious enough to focus attention away from the very fast and complete gutting of the American government. They took over the god damn Treasury and no one even batted an eye.
Appreciate the context.
Saw fake news a few years back talking about how Chinese were running cn to ca to us…
Propaganda be good lol
