The fentanyl BS from Trump is so insulting. The US wastes insane amount of time and money catching and jailing LSD, weed, and shrooms users and acts like Canada's dedicated focus on dangerous hard drugs isn't good enough.

American here that has extensive relationships in Canada. We don’t want this tariff war but the tariffs being implemented first by the Trump administration on behalf of US were punitive for violating USMCA and tied directly to the border defects. This was made known in advance and you repeated empty promises. Take your medicine and get well fast. Instead of doing that, you are taking an action that will beget reciprocal tariffs. Implement $30B and Trump will add $30B….add another $125B later and Trump will add another $125B. Heads up….America wants good partners and looks forward to being past this as well. In the meantime, we are prepared to pay more (or live with less) as we get back up on our feet. We have a lot of internal healing and cannot carry any other countries right now. Not sure if that was ever a good thing for either of us. Time to heal our broken ways ….sorry if you got used to our last administration being feckless.
Detailed critique of Canadian government's tariff response strategy and comparison of US-Canada relations, framed as advice from an American perspective.

Trudeau is the best example of woke human trash you should just throw to the garbage as soon as possible. Canadian people are fine, but this guy is a total MORON.

We need to have what they need ? How about what we need? I don't care what immigration lawyer says. It's his business. Who said that studying abroad gives you a right to stay there?
