No shit. America trades guns for fentanyl in Mexico. Canada would not have a gun problem if it wasn't for the US ridiculous lack of laws they sell ammo in vending machines ffs and guns at any back ally as long as it's near a gun show
Trump Says U.S. Will Impose Massive Tariffs On Mexico, Canada And China From Day 1
- Thread starter bazokajoe
- Start date
hopefully, and even if so, it is still a reminder of how lowbrow his base is and he is
Donald Trump putting Russia first.
Canada, Mexico and China has commodities that the USA needs to keep their economy running and they will retaliate. Since he is the King of Kings he can sustain his followers by bringing down opiates from heaven.

a reasonable counter
however if they left because of high energy cost, they will evaluate returning if energy costs are lowered. and sustainable
Trump wont crater the US economy and would spin an about face if his plan goes off the rails
Buying hat spin would be difficult for the electorate and his ego would be punished
do you really think this is a negotiation where you can make one for one demands ?
The three easiest synthetic drugs to manufacture, in order of simplicity, are bath salts, fentanyl, and ecstasy. The main challenge in their production lies in the availability of precursor chemicals. Bath salts are the easiest to produce, as their precursor chemicals are relatively simple to obtain and the manufacturing process is straightforward. Fentanyl requires slightly more restricted precursor chemicals, making it somewhat more challenging to produce. Ecstasy ranks as the most difficult of the three, as its precursors are much harder to source, placing it in a distant third. Despite these challenges, ecstasy continues to be manufactured and distributed to illicit drug users.
Even if former President Trump were to stop all fentanyl imports from China, the drug would still find its way into the U.S. from other countries and domestic sources. His actions appear to be more about political theater, aiming to convince Americans that he is achieving significant results and "making America great again."
Trump’s trade tariffs are likely to slow global trade and impose financial burdens on the U.S. economy. He may be intentionally destabilize the economy only to claim credit for fixing it by the end of his term, bolstering his image as a skilled negotiator. He has even mentioned the possibility of serving a third term, which is currently prohibited by American law. While such a change seems unlikely, it raises questions about his political ambitions. If his policies were to lead to a global recession/depression, public outrage could turn against him. He may be hauled out into the streets of Washington D.C. and Mussolinied.

wut? even meth is easier to make than MDMA (due to the simpler process and more accessible precursors)
Our Government should bring up with Donny Boy the fact that Canadians are being killed by the US guns that are being smuggled into Canada:

This should be a bargaining chip against the USA, and not just the Americans interest!!

The majority of handguns used in Canadian crimes come from the US, where gun laws are much more lax.

But I still cannot understand why the righties are cheering Trump for threatening to impose these tariffs!!
There is quite a possibility that Trump will say that he already got Canada to impose those stricter border controls that will now prevent the migrants and fentanyl from coming to the USA.
Hence, now there is no need for those tariffs. This is a possible scenario, as many of the Republican States that depend on trade with Canada will oppose these tariffs!!

It is clearly a negotiating position, and has garnered Trudeau's attention, who already has gone groveling to his master. I suspect 25% won't be the final position, but it may not be 0 either.
It could only be any negotiation position if there was something to negotiate. Since there is no real influx of people from Canada into the United States, nor is there an influx of fentanyl, there is absolutely nothing to fucking negotiate.
If Trump can not honor the USMCA he signed, what is the point of negotiating?
Oh really?

And here is a little more. I though you Liberals were educated and smart. You can't even do a little google search to avoid looking dumb.
Jamie Sarkonak: Trump is right that Trudeau needs to clean up the border
Fair or not, Canada faces a Trump government willing to economically waterboard us into a recession come January. We need to act accordingly

I am not a liberal although I like that you imply that conservatives are not educated and smart. And by the way here is what the NP article you referred to says:And here is a little more. I though you Liberals were educated and smart. You can't even do a little google search to avoid looking dumb.

When you zoom out, none of these harsh words from Trump are fair. Canada’s problems are real and growing, but at the scale of a sprouting dandelion. Mexico, on the other hand, is an oak tree. Whatever our faults, we certainly don’t deserve tariffs. And it’s not like the U.S. border has treated us well over the years, either: migrants, guns and drugs find their way northward as well, and you don’t see us threatening our neighbours for it.
I wouldn't be surprised if people can change Trump's mind simply by just reminding him how "amazing" a free trade deal he negotiated with the USMCA.
p.s. Can't understand how anyone can think that massive tariffs will somehow help the US economy or think it won't cause massive inflation.

Certainly Trump is exaggerated the problem, but one exists, just not significant compared to the US/Mexico border. As to implying that conservatives are not educated and smart, there is nothing in what I said to imply that, other than Liberals aren't all that smart period, they just think they are.
Who is Trudeau's "Master"?
It is not just Canada, but also The EU and other G20 Nations that are just perplexed with these tariff threats!!
In the end, if fully implemented, then expect inflation to move into the wrong direction.
But remember that when the USMCA was being negotiated, Congress would not pass that Bill unless Canada was included.
Chrystia Freeland stood her ground!!
But I am expecting that not all Canadian goods will be subject to the tariffs if they are implemented.
No doubt that even if the tariffs are shrunk to small percentages, then expect Trump to boast about it to his usual base!!
