The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

it was the exact same deal Donny cut with Mexico. Canada agreed to send ten thousand troops to their border.

“Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border,” Mr. Trudeau said in his post without elaboration.

oh by the way, those ten thousand Canadian troops? they’re already at the border — thanks to a deal previously negotiated by Joe Biden.

Donny’s deal also calls for Canada to spend $1.3 billion on border security — money that they’d already agreed to spend, after cutting a deal with you’ll never guess who.

--Federal Govt unveils Canada's Border Security Plan - December 17, 2024--

Dominic LeBlanc, the minister of finance and intergovernmental affairs, holds a news conference on Parliament Hill to outline the federal government’s new $1.3-billion border security plan.

I know it seems like December 2024 happened a thousand years ago, but I’m sure you’ll remember that Joe Biden was still president.

Trudeau also agreed to name a “fentanyl czar,” which is the silliest fucking thing ever — because there is no ‘fentanyl problem’ at the Canadian border. the amount of fentanyl that crosses our northern border is a rounding error away from zero.

you could imagine Trudeau on the phone with Donny, going ‘yeah sure, a fentanyl czar’ while rolling his eyes and miming jerkoff motions with one hand — and then calling out to the next rando to walk past his office door, ‘hey Gordie, you want to be fentanyl czar?’
