Canadian Television from a couple of months ago. They called it, eh?
Saw this in an X post. Seems to fit here.
Didn't Dennison declare the war? Looks like he bent the knee pretty quickly...
This is actually hilarious. His impression is better than I expected.
Amen.Saw this in an X post. Seems to fit here.
They told Trump they would do things they were already doing and Trump acts like he forced them.
Oh, and those big bad cartels in Canada -- US Customs intercepted sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fentanyl at the northern border last year.
43 pounds
Hey I don't care if I have to pay $15 for an avocado if it means keeping all that fentanyl out and protecting my pets.Oh, and those big bad cartels in Canada -- US Customs intercepted sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fentanyl at the northern border last year.

Really, when did Mexico commit to sending 10,000 National Guard troops to the Southern Border?They told Trump they would do things they were already doing and Trump acts like he forced them.
When did the Mexicans start taking on the cartels?
Cartel del Noreste leader arrested in Nuevo Laredo, triggering citywide gunfights
It appears it was yesterday.
Now, for Canada:
Let's take at face value his assertion they were already implementing their $1.3 billion border plan. I'd welcome you providing support for this, Chumpy but, for the sake of THIS argument, when did Canada commit to the following:
Appointing a federal Fentanyl Czar.
Listing Cartels as terrorists.
24/7 surveillance of our Northern border.
Launching a Canada-U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl, and money laundering.
Executing a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl - committing $200 million to the effort.
According to his statement, these were in addition to his $1.3 billion border plan you think he was already doing. And, just when did Canada implement their $1.3 billion border plan?
it wasn't even announced until December 17, 2024:
Government of Canada announces its plan to strengthen border security and our immigration system
We can certainly disagree but, I find the timing su ious. After all, President Trump had made border security (Mexican and Canadian) a primary objective in his campaign. Could it be they came up with this plan to try and placate President Trump? When was the $1.3 billion border plan implemented? If you read the Canadian Press Release, the word "will" appears in almost every commitment made. Well, it appears that changed from will to "is" yesterday.
Sorry dude, Mexico has already sent 10,000 or 15,000 troops to the border in 2019 and 2021. This is what they do to placate the US.
Did those stop fentanyl?
Did you forget? Were you ignorant of this? I thought this was important to you.
And Canada?
All this was already going to happen. It was announced before Trump took office. Do you know how time works or are you ignorant about that too?

Did they remain? Will they remain?
"All this was already going to happen." When Chump?And Canada?

The $1.3 billion dollar border plan wasn't even announced until after Trump won election and started telling Canada he was going to punish them if they didn't do something about the border.
None of the $1.3 billion dollar border plan was implemented prior to Trump's weekend announcement of tariffs.
No, it was only yesterday that Canada changed it from "will" to "is."
They also threw in a few extra goodies that weren't in their $1.3 billion border plan.
Admit it, you didn't read my post, did you?
Will it matter?
Your complete ignorance of their previous deployment pretty well illustrates the efficacy, doesn't it?

From those pinkos at the National Review:
I noted earlier today that Trump extracted nothing new from Mexico in exchange for suspending his threat of tariffs against the country. It’s a similar story now with Canada. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the tariffs have been suspended in exchange for the following:
Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border.
In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada- U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million.
The $1.3 billion border plan was announced in December. So there’s no movement on that front.
The “new commitments” are either pointless or not new. Does anyone seriously believe that Canada’s appointing a fentanyl czar will make any measurable difference in drug overdose deaths? The Canadian government had already announced plans to better coordinate federal law enforcement efforts at the border, with a statement specifically mentioning organized crime, fentanyl, and money laundering, in January.
The bigger issue for Canada is that Trudeau won’t be the prime minister anymore come next month, and Canada is headed for an election in which the Conservative Party led by Pierre Poilievre will almost certainly win a majority. Poilievre has also been campaigning on border security and fighting crime. Trump will have a natural ally on these issues as prime minister of Canada in a short time.
Instead of laying the groundwork for that beneficial relationship, Trump has put Poilievre in the awkward position of having to say that Canada will continue to exist and wonder why imports from his country would be taxed more than twice as high as those from China. “Fentanyl’s coming from China. It’s killing our people too,” Poilievre said.
Trump’s electoral mandate for border security was about to align with Poilievre’s electoral mandate for border security. Now, in the name of securing the border, Trump has blown up the trade agreement he negotiated during his first term in exchange for meaningless promises from a Canadian prime minister who won’t be in office in less than two months. If this is great negotiating, I’d hate to see what poor negotiating looks like.

You love the theater of it all and you like the tuff talk and posturing. That's fine, but it doesn't really do anything.
Well, combine that with the 10,000 U.S. Troops, increased CBP presence, and now, military overflights of Mexican Cartel country, it just might.
Did Canada just realize in December of 2024 they had a border problem? Or, hear me out here, was there some motivating factor in the political sphere of their Southern neighbor that suggested to them they'd better get their asses in gear on border security.
Hmmm...not part of the December plan, was it? But, it adds $200 million to the $1.3 billion dollar price tag. $200 million for a pointless exercise?
You love playing Twister with the fact to try and make everything a Trump disaster.
Unfortunately, the majority of Americans are getting exactly what we voted for and we're liking it. If Mexico and Canada doing exactly what Trump demands is somehow demonstrating weakness, on Trump's part, in your fevered brain. So be it. I don't really care, Margaret...as long as Mexico and Canada seriously address the border issues of illegal immigration and human and drug trafficking.
Now, exactly how did Trump "bend the knee" to Colombia, Venezuela, and Panama?
I'll make a prediction, which I rarely do. And, I'll admit, up front, I could be wrong...I don't have any particular inside information.
As of yesterday, the first death of a U.S. soldier, CPB officer, or U. S. Citizen (local and state law enforcement included), cased by a Mexican cartel or criminal gang, will be met with an obliteration of the compound of the cartel involved ... a la Ilhan Omar's cons uency in Somalia.
Just a prediction.
Pete Hegseth refuses to rule out military strikes on Mexico: 'All options will be on the table‘
If Mexico does nothing -- but probably bluster -- you'll know who bent the knee this week.
43 pounds of fentanyl
It's not a Trump disaster. It's a nothingburger. I respect Trump's ability to hype nothing. Look at his memecoins.
So, why is Canada implementing these $1.5 billion in border measures over 43 pounds of fentanyl?
It's not a Trump disaster. It's a nothingburger. I respect Trump's ability to hype nothing. Look at his memecoins.
Either Trump made them his or there's a bigger problem than is being admitted. Or, both are true. I pick both.
Dunno.
Seems kind of stupid to do this over 43 pounds of fentanyl, doesn't it?
Maybe it's not. Glad you admit to not knowing something though.
I know there were 43 pounds of fentanyl seized at the nothingburger border in a year.
Does that make it a crisis?
Canada was already planning on spending the $1.3 billion at the end of last year over all things related to border control.
Canada told Trump "we're going to spend $1.3 billion" and you guys are declaring victory.
Lol re s.
Apparently, Canada does. They're getting ready to spend $1.5 billion on the issue.
And you think that's worth 43 pounds of fentanyl?
