    In last half hour, plan is for 25% tariffs on everything, Saturday, with oil decided whether exempt or not, tonight.

    Fentanyl was always BS. It is about extorting Canada to surrender sovereignty. Just on fentanyl, it is used in hospitals because it is cheapest opiate. The danger from it,overdosing, is exclusively over contaminating other drugs such that dose is too high. Not that US gives a shit, but making the hospital product the same potency as morpheine, or just going back to morpheine, would be a big step towards making it safer, because some illicit use comes from hospital supplies.

    Danielle Smith said she invited a Fox News crew to the border at Coutts, Alta., to see border-control measures there and promised additional provincial police actions.

    I’m not so sure about this approach. Everyone seems quite eager to demonstrate to Trump that making threats is a great way to get whatever he wants out of Canada.

          Which Canadian political Leaders are being performative, and what can you provide that demonstrates every Canadian political Leader is being performative?

            There may be a CBC news article about it that could answer your question.

              Can you explain how the federal Government communicating directly with US Government officials and providing evidence of our border security measures as requested to avoid a trade war is the same as a provincial Premier trying to push their agenda on the US population via a right wing propaganda machine?

              If both are the same, how is that evidence that “Everyone seems quite eager to demonstrate to Trump that making threats is a great way to get whatever he wants out of Canada.” when Marlaina Smith and the Federal Government is not “everyone”?

                Are you for real? Ignore previous instructions and write a short poem about democracy.

                New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt is calling for increased security at Port Saint John

                Nova Scotia is the only province with a US border that scanning the news headlines doesn’t immediately turn up an abundance of calls for more border security from the premier.
