I came to see the spin on how we caved, which I’m sure we did somehow, but:
As I’ve already said too much today, 2023 numbers are apparently 43 pounds. Should be easy enough to target.
~~I think we should do that for other reasons so thanks.~~
Edit: misunderstood by me and no longer in the same context in the article. But also we already live at the border, and we should send some, and we can repurpose them to help defend Greenland or Panama.
Already have one as part of ministerial stuff, but if he can’t understand that, a simple name change when speaking should do.
Edit: article updated since I copied all that (together). It’s fairly different now and shittier.
Trudeau sold him measures that Canada had already voted on. See this post from the end of last year. https://www.canada.ca/en/public-safety-canada/news/2024/12/the-government-of-canadas-border-plan-significant-investments-to-strengthen-border-security-and-our-immigration-system.html
Trudeau "caved" by giving Trump essentially zilch, apparently assuming -- perhaps not incorrectly -- that Trump would be that easily swindled.
See you in 30 days for his next round of ridiculous demands. And he'll be emboldened knowing he "won" this round.
That, now, is indeed a genuine issue. Trump has stated that his end game is annexation, and experience has shown that when he sounds like he's got a bee in his bonnet about something, however bonkers, he's actually serious about it. So I'm not seeing him stop the aggression on Canada.
