    Thank you for noting I am a genius, but I didn’t know Trump was ending immigration. That’s news to me. I am sorry you have such a harsh view of your countrymen. It reads like you have a more favorable view of illegal immigrants than you do your own countrymen.

    This thread is definitely doing a good job of drawing out progressives and their true feelings, that’s for sure.

    Or more accurately there was no trade war, just the threat of one that nobody wanted and nobody fully took seriously because we’ve seen this rodeo before.

    Trump caved, again. Canada already had 16,000+ border security agents ... LOL

    One of the benefits of bordering a secure first-world country with low crime is to not have to divert a lot of resources to the border. These idiots out here are trying to force everyone to unnecessarily spend for less than a de minimis gain. Par for the course though.

    Plus not sure what it’s trying to achieve. The “politics” are obvious on the southern border. Have to have a show of force against “invading” brown people for the rubes.

    What are Canadians gonna do for us? Stop an influx of Americans trying to escape to Canada? If it’s migrants going to Canada it becomes their problem. We know the fentanyl angle is bs because almost none of that has to do with Canada (something like .2% per search).

    China just announced they will be levying a 15% tax on American goods. Wonder what their "cave," will look like.

    They will send 10k PLA soldiers to the US border?

    But seriously, I wouldn't be surprised if it is instituting a program to control fentanyl precursors that looks exactly like the program that they suspended on Sunday that was started a couple of years ago.

    If it can be worked out over a 30 minute phone call, you know it will be major
