Sorry, libs.
Your dream of a depression isn't happening today. Hope springs eternal, though!
Seriously. Did any of you actually believe that Lame Duck Trudeau was going to have enough stones to FAFO with Trump? I really hope not.
https://x.com/JustinTrudeau/status/188652922819302...I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border.
In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada- U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million.
Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together.Boom.
And, no. I NEVER get tired of winning.

Lord, you’re gullible.
Trudeau said he will appoint a fentanyl czar and implement the $900 million border plan that his government announced in December 2024.
In other words, all Trudeau had to do was tell Trump he was going to do what he said he was already going to do back in December 2024.
Trump was grasping at straws to stop the tariffs.
LOL.

*Trump* was grasping at straws?
Yeah, he's not the one doing it.
Face it. Good news for the country is terrible news for *you*.
BTW. Canada hadn't implemented anything. They talked a lot, but never actually did anything. Now they will.

Sounds like Trudeau is willing to put on a show for Trump.
Federal statistics show U.S. border authorities seized 21,889 pounds of fentanyl in the 2024 fiscal year. Of that amount, 43 pounds were seized at the Canadian border — about 0.2% — compared with 21,148 pounds at the Mexican border, about 96.6%. Canada is not a problem. So much winning.
Drug movement has a well known balloon effect -if you squeeze here, the air goes over there. Trump should send a message to the cartels to be more careful about dosage since he's Boss Hog. Canada has been preparing for illegals crossing into Canada from the USA. So much winning..

so canada's spending ~$20million/lb to stop fentanyl.
am guessing way cheaper just to buy it, and sure trump knows a guy that will art a deal.
or credit each MAGAt $15 towards rumpcoin.

That's good advice. Better to not let people know you don't follow current events closely enough.

And
Canada makes up 1.5% of border patrol encounters with migrants
Trump has also declined to distinguish the Canadian border from the Mexican border on the subject of migration. At the same event the day after his inauguration, he said, “They’ve allowed — both of them, Canada very much so — they’ve allowed millions and millions of people to come into our country that shouldn’t be here. They could have stopped them, and they didn’t.”
The Canadian border, however, is the site of far fewer crossings than the Mexican border even after a Biden-era spike in crossings from the north.

" had a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl."
So what is with the high drama, dog and pony show that Trump put on with the tariffs ?
A page or so back, I think Alpha Wolf posted that Trudeau agreed on December 17th,
2024 ( who was Prez on Dec 17th, 2024, was it Biden ? lol ), to implement the following:
( So Canada did not do anything today that is any different than what Canada agreed to do last
December. )
A couple weeks of Trump feels like 5 years. Reminds me of teenage drama queens.
But hey, he's putting on a show for MAGA.
Here is the link:

.....Backed by an investment of $1.3 billion.......
Detecting and disrupting the fentanyl trade
The Government of Canada will increase support to law enforcement agencies in detecting, intercepting and addressing fentanyl and precursor chemicals by adding artificial intelligence and imaging tools that will further help detect illegal drugs before they enter Canada.

Perhaps the tariffs were suspended because the stock market was down 2% in the first 30 minutes and no where else to go but down. Treasury Secretary says time to lift tariffs and say "we won"!

Only Dumbass Dope could take Canada's announcing the same thing they announced back in December as Trump is winning and terrible news for his enemies.

Dope for the first time we agree. I don't want a president to make a decision on 30 minutes of the market. Unfortunately, I think we have one.
