2:10 of the video, fact

So you have one bust in Canada...

Canada use of drugs is lower than US...

Again, tariffs cast billions, would it not better to spend a small fraction on that in Mexico to actually tackle the problem...

Canada rate is way lower...

How Does Fentanyl Reach the United States?

President Trump has imposed steep tariffs on Canada, China, and Mexico in the name of curbing fentanyl flows into the United States. In reality, supplies of the drug—and related deaths—have sharply d…

What is the status of the fentanyl crisis?​

Annual fentanyl-related deaths remain in the scores of thousands but are trending downward for the first time in years. Fatal overdoses have dropped nationwide by more than 21 percent since June 2023, data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows. The death toll dipped below eighty-five thousand deaths in a twelve-month period ending in September 2024; while that’s still significantly high, it’s a level not seen since 2020.

Experts say the decline is in large part due to concerted efforts to curb trafficking by the Joe Biden administration in cooperation with other countries, namely China and Mexico.
.....
Canada plays virtually no role in the U.S. fentanyl influx, especially compared to the other countries. The country contributes less than 1 percent to its southern neighbor’s street fentanyl supply, as both the Canadian government and data from the DEA report.

Tariffs agreed upon in the USMCA, which was created by Trump

Maybe the debt wasn't an issue then.

Or because we're running lower on people who take those drugs.

The Greens Will Make Europe Go Dark

China and India realize that the Warmalarmies' and the "Clean" (virus-saturated) Air fanatics' real motive is to carry out the Globalists' destruction of economic progress.

The two emerging giants will need double their present use of hydrocarbons, which only the dormant oilfields of the United States and Russia, working together, will be able to supply.

Ah yes, the idiocy of the Trump voter.

The ONLY person seeking to wipe out the economic progress of the last 125 years, is Donald J. Trump. Tariffs and protectionism lead to the Great Depression and World War II.

The two "emerging giants" are developing clean energy, and will NOT be further destroying the planet with hydrocarbons.

Switching sides in the middle of war is never a healthy thing for any world leader to do.

You could find a fact, even if you looked, which you don't. You just accept Trump's lies.

MORE Fentanyl comes INTO Canada from the USA, than goes from Canada to the US.

You're exactly right, I can find facts. Pierre says it right in that cut, fact produce enough fentanyl to kill 95 million people. But hey, keep showing us the back pack. I will keep posting the actual facts.

Not so fast.

Few shed tears over deaths from cocaine or heroin, why the handwringing over opioid deaths?

Wrong. You're not even close in this regard.

Biden negotiated a deal with China to cut the export of precursors to Mexico, and China abided by THIS deal, because Biden had "targeted tariffs", and because the Chinese economy has been hurting since covid.

Biden negotiated a deal with Mexico to put 10,000 additional troops on the Mexican border to prevent the cartels from accessing the border.

Biden OPENED the border so that everyone coming across was subject to a drug search and going through Customs and Immigration to get in.

Trump CLOSING the border, is a GIFT to the coyotes, and the Cartels, because they get all of these people desperate to get in, to provide cover for their smuggling of the drugs in with them.

Also, increased funding for drug treatment programs, and aggressively prosecuting "pill mills" over prescribing the drugs.

So, you are saying there is a shortage of fentanyl which accounts for declining deaths?

It wasn't meant to be a serious comment.

Putting the off topic trolling of assholes like Antoinette aside in order to get back to the OP topic

Here’s a link to wide variety of Canadian tariffs on the USA as recent as 2022.

The purpose of US tariffs on Canuckistan is for the purpose of leveling the field a bit.

(This is still not a post tended to discuss the general value or wisdom of tariffs, in general.)

If the US exceeds the import quota going into Canada as determined by the USMCA then a tariff is imposed and will be raised according to how much the quota is exceeded by. The US can do the same for Canadian goods that exceed the quota. These quotas were negotiated and agreed upon by Trump since the USMCA is his brainchild. There is no "leveling the playing field," you imbecile. By tariffing Canada unwarranted Trump is in violation of his own USMCA.

Untrue.

Since you don’t have the slightest clue about the agreement, you really shouldn’t post anything about what it means.

What metric will signify success?

Canada becoming the 51st state.

Should we be asking ourselves if trump is mentally stable?
