What Trump has done with these tariffs is basically put a tax on Americans. And by Canada and Mexico retaliating we are also now paying more. Reading this morning than China is planning to sue the USA for the increased tariff they now have.

 

As far as anything in the way of drugs and people coming from Canada Trump is pretty much lying to America. Other than a small portion of the Washington /BC border less than 1% of fentanyl and pre curser drugs are coming into US from Canada. And some south of Montreal into New York state. the vast majority, 66% of Fentanyl coming into US is coming via Mexico/China and the rest is directly from China itself. Canada in the last two months has basically spent 1.4 billion on drones helicopters and more police to patrol the US border  and are pretty much finding nothing.

 

I know a vast number of Americans do not know about our border, In fact very little about Canada at all.  You have to imagine this border, in most places were I live on the prairies it is not a lot different than watching a old cowboy movie. Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba is pretty much bald ass prairie, bordering Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota. So unless you can hide behind a blade of grass police are going to find you. or the wolves might. And unless you are going to swim the Great lakes most of Ontario is cut off. The problem areas are the west of British Columbia because it is forest and have long established smuggling routes between Seattle and Vancouver  (the east part is the Rocky Mountains), eastern Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick areas. Look at a map. These are basically streets, Yes streets. In a lot of areas of the US border with Quebec all the border is is a street. One side is Canada and one side is the US. IN some places the actual border goes along foundations of buildings. So if you are in your front yard you are in Canada and if you walk to the back yard you are in US. Absolutely crazy. For years there has been major smuggling across this area. Between Quebec and Vermont. Even things as simple as cigarettes because Quebec is one of the highest taxed areas of North America and Vermont is on of the lowest taxed areas of North America.  

 

In fact right now more people are trying to get into Canada to avoid being shipped out by Trump!  But even this is a very small percentage. Trump is saying this is about drugs but it is way more than that with Canada. He has this idea that Canada is taking advantage of the US because of the trade imbalance right now. But most of that trade imbalance is because the US is getting so much Oil from Canada. Over 60% right now. If you take oil out of the equation it is very close to even. 

 

I will not lie, Canada and Canadians are feeling very pissed this morning. That the USA could do this to one of there biggest trading partners and allies and friends and family my grandfather was from Oklahoma There are so many cases of Canadians with American family members. In Airdrie were I live there is actually a road call ed Yankee Valley. That is because in the 1920's many of the farms in the are were started by Americans coming to Canada. Everything from WW1, WW2, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya the Balkans, Canadians have fought beside Americans and died with Americans. On September 11th, we help shut down the skies over North America, We had fighter jets patrolling border areas with the US, We housed stranded Americans in our homes until they could go home when the borders opened again. More recently we sent crews to help clean up New Orleans from Katrina and this month we had water bombers fighting the fires in Los Angeles. Because that is what friends do for each other.   

I could easily answer this but. We’ve been told to cool it. We should do just that.

Ok everyone has a chance to say their piece. Y'all actually stayed civil. Lets reign it in. Thar goes for the other threads too.  Other websites for these discussions

It is what it is, we just need to accept it and move on.  To many in the upper society tier corporate world are not going to do anything to lessen what is deposited in their bank accounts.

 

Currently $2.87 for regular here.
