Trump mistaken, U.S. banks can and do operate in Canada US still paying as Canadians stop buying US products and US alcohol still off the shelf. Go Canada! https://globalnews.ca/news/11002453/canada-border-security-no-military-troops-mcguinty/#:~:text=Public Safety Minister David McGuinty says there is,tasking 10%2C000 frontline personnel with protecting the border. In a bid to head off crippling tariffs threatened by U.S. President Donald Trump, Canada has committed to tasking 10,000 frontline personnel with protecting the border. McGuinty also says Canada’s promised contribution of $200 million to fight organized crime and fentanyl trafficking is in addition to the $1.3 billion Ottawa already has announced. The money will help fund the appointment of a “fentanyl czar,” who will serve as a liaison between Canada and the U.S. on cross-border efforts to curb fentanyl traffic. Seems like Trump got what he wanted, right? He said that he was going to slap 25% tariffs on a bunch of Canadian products if we didn't shore up our border, and it looks like we shored up our border. Unless you think that 10,000 border guards are there to do something else. 1 Quote If the Cultist Narrative Network/Cultist Broadcasting Corporation gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed.

godzilla Posted February 5 Author Report Posted February 5 (edited) no thats only 1,500 more people... added to the 8,500 that already do the border. another $200 million is pennies. and worth it to stop guns from coming from the US. whatever. as previously cited, Mexico has had 10k troops at the border since 2021. negotiated by Biden! the drug war was all a ruse to cover a trade war ploy... in case the trade leverage didn't have any teeth. it didn't. Canada and Mexico are capable of hurting US business interests. numerous US trade groups freaked out. why would Trump say from the oval office that economic negotiations would continue when it was actually a drug problem? my wife was at the grocery store again today. a couple of days ago, US agricultural products were stocked and no one was touching them. today they are half price. soon they will be throwing it out. a friend of mine works for the BC liquor distribution branch. US liquor is stagnant on the shelves. these are surgical trade attacks that are very painful for US industry. the US has made itself king by being the integration point of the worlds economy. Trumps dumb isolationist thinking will dump the US economy. but that just means more for everyone else as they become integration hubs in different markets. go Trump! go!
