    As a Minnesotan, that would be very bad news for anyone here enjoying having relatively okay power bills. Unfortunately I have to agree with Ford; we totally deserve it.

      I mean yeah, your country is threatening our countries sovereignty. I hope our leaders do anything in their power to stop that from happening. Sorry man. Most Canadians feel the same way.

        As you should. I’m from the US and what our President is doing is inexcusable. The US are definitely the baddies here.

    “Vast amounts of fentanyl enter the US through Mexico from China. This is why we must slap a 25% tariff on Canadian aluminum and steel.”

    I live in the US. I hope the world destabilizes our very flawed government and “democracy”

    A two-party system is barely a democracy.

    I live in the US and I will suffer, but I really want the rest of the world to give us hell. Fuck Trumpler and president Muskrat.

    Trump said Monday that “vast amounts of fentanyl got poured into our country” largely through Mexico and from China, and he encouraged car manufacturers to build plants in the U.S. to avoid the upcoming tariffs.

    If the media actually did their jobs, they would add the context that the US seized all of 20kg of fentanyl at the Canadian border last year. This claim is, according to the US government’s own numbers, absolute bullshit.

    They would also note that in order to enact these tariffs without involving Congress he has to invoke a “national emergency”, which is the only reason why he’s suddenly all about stopping fentanyl.

      If the media did their jobs, they would be discussing how the amount of drugs available is not the reason for the drug epidemic, that addiction and mental health are linked more deeply to socio-economic problems, including structural economic problems, issues of social mobility, the destruction of the social fabric etc.

      building manufactuering plants takes years, and it probably wont happen anyways, because the high cost of importing materials, and paying much higer wages.

      their [job]

      The majority of America doesn’t listen to things that don’t reaffirm their beliefs.

      If a news outlet doesn’t tell the people what they want to hear, another news outlet will.

      Well said! Exposing truth through the US propaganda lies.

      It’s too bad 90% of the people meant to read this statement won’t because they’re being lied to. :/

      Trump can go choke on a bag of dicks.

      The media is doing their job. It’s just that their job is to normalize fascist rhetoric.
