The reactions to Tariffs from Canada has been so educational. My initial thought that this was due to China basically using Trudeu's asshole like one would a handpuppet - and that's probably an element, yeah - but the fact that we actually have a serious inflow of fent from Canada?
Wild.
It just reaffirms my earlier decisions that Canada isn't a real country.
I think the volume of fentanyl being smuggled in from the North still hasn't been quantified. And is just typical Trump bluster.
Even if fentanyl production in Canada is such a national security threat problem for the US, it's the job of US authorities to stop its smuggling at the border, not the Canadian border agency. Customs and border control regulate what comes in, not what goes out.
You can certainly argue that provincial and federal police on the Canadian side should crack down on domestic labs and imports from China coming into the Vancouver port.
But Trump keeps complaining about Canadian lax border security, not domestic policing.
Not true, it's so large that El Chapo apparently thinks Canada is more profitable than Mexico.
Nothing is hard and fast in negotiations with no referee. We can and will blame Mexico for not stopping the illegals passing through, and we can and will blame Canada for allowing organized crime to squat in their neighborhoods.
I find it disconcerting that even people on our side can conjure up entirely new policy positions from thin air based on a few Drumpf tweets.
Fair enough, there's some stuff that's come out of thin air, but from what I've read so far the northern border seems to have legitimate problems.
