Seems it was a waste of our time and money. If anything, Canada should be asking the USA to increase their own border security as guns and drugs come into Canada at a much larger scale. And why even have a fentanyl czar etc if none of our actions will stop the tariffs? This was never about the border or drugs but Trump said jump and Canada asked How high?

This isn't about fentanyl. More flows into Canada from the USA than to the USA. It was just a petty excuse to start mounting pressure on Canada in a long game to attempt annexation. Trump has made this abundantly clear and even said there's nothing Canada can do to avoid tarriffs.

More (illegal) migration into Canada than in other direction. I didn't know if same applies to fentanyl, but US production of fentanyl far exceeds any Canadian smuggling.

Fentanyl problem is one of accidental overdoses. It is used in hospitals in both Canada and US bc it is cheapest opiate dose. Either eliminating heroin, or diluting fentanyl down to heroin size dose, or making controlled opiate dose/quality pills more available, would solve the overdose problem,

Allowing US to blame Canada for fentanyl is allowing them to complain about any other lie.

Well he has made his statement that joining the US will stop the tariffs but that ain’t going to happen!

He also was asked afterwards whether there was anything Canada can do to stop the tarriffs and he said no. We should not believe this man for a second.
