President Donald Trump said he would follow through on his threat to impose 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico on Feb. 1, citing the flow of fentanyl and large trade deficits as among the reasons for his decision.

    Trudeau stepped down, but because they have a parliamentary system there are no elections yet, it’s just an internal election in the Liberal party. Chrystia Freeland, everybody’s favorite nazi supporter, is one of the frontrunners.

    The “reasoning” is that people illegally immigrate here from Canada, which may have come to Trump in a dream.

      Freeland’s polling is in the shitter with the prospect of a Mark Carney leadership. He’s some charismatic economist ghoul. Also the federal election campaign will almost certainly begin as soon as Parliament is back in session in about a month or so.

      that’s hilarious. i bet if any “illegal immigrants” are here from canada 100% of them live in NYC or LA and they’re just trying to be influencers.

      i can’t think of any other reason someone might illegally come here from canada. we have all the same problems but worse and then no healthcare
