If Trumps Tariffs are going ahead even after we allocated billions into the border along with that fentanyl czar, why bother even keeping those now? (lemm.ee)

Seems it was a waste of our time and money. If anything, Canada should be asking the USA to increase their own border security as guns and drugs come into Canada at a much larger scale. And why even have a fentanyl czar etc if none of our actions will stop the tariffs? This was never about the border or drugs but Trump said jump and Canada asked How high?

You got that right. That stuff was pretty much all post-hoc improvising to attempt to make trump's ridiculous tariff idea seem less irrational and stupid.

I'm waiting to see what nebulous and impossible task he comes up with this time in the 11th hour, one last chance for Canada to prove its worth to the imitation mob boss who's running the country down there.

I agree though, whatever he wants this time, we should call his bluff. As much as he wants to paint Canada as the abuser stealing billions from the american economy, everyone can see that the opposite is true. Deleting our trade deal with them will be hard at first, but it will ultimately be a good thing for Canadians.
