Don’t negotiate with terrorists. His words are worthless because he doesn’t honour them. We need to shift pur economy away from the US right the fuck now.

    I mean we absolutely should keep fent out of our country entirely, that way it won’t get trafficked to the US either. Fuck fentanyl and what it does to people.

    HOWEVER, the amount of fentanyl going to the US from Canada is extremely low, almost negligible compared to all the other ways it’s getting into the US. It’s just an excuse to invoke emergency powers so he doesn’t need to go through congress to impose tariffs and can also break the trade agreement that he himself signed. It was never about fentanyl, we’re never going to “solve” the problem in his eyes because the problem he’s claiming we have is almost entirely made up.
