Canada announces $1.3 BILLION border plan, will appoint a ‘Fentanyl Czar’ & create a Canada-U.S. Joint Strike Force; Trump pauses tariffs

FastLane said:
OTTAWA, Dec 16 (Reuters) - Canada's government on Monday proposed C$1.3 billion ($913.05 million) for border security after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump threatened tariffs unless Canada reduced the movement of migrants and drugs into the United States.
The border funding proposal was part of the mini-budget, or fall economic statement unveiled on Monday. Trump has threatened 25% tariffs on all exports to the U.S. from Canada and Mexico.
but we will not stand by for this type of action to be taken

The money would go towards Public Safety Canada, the Canada Border Services Agency, the Communications Security Establishment, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police," the statement said.

The statement said the government intended to introduce legislative amendments to the Customs Act to grant Canada Border Services new authorities to inspect goods destined for export.
U.S. border patrol apprehended more than 23,000 migrants near the Canada-U.S. border in the 12 months ending in October - more than double the previous year. That remains a fraction of the 1.5 million apprehended near the U.S.-Mexico border in that time period.

Trump 'blinked' before his tariffs could cause real damage: Conservative WSJ editorial board says​


President Donald Trump "blinked" on his tariffs against Canada and Mexico before they could cause real harm to the economy, the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board wrote on Monday.

At the last minute, the president delayed draconian 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico by a month, proclaiming both countries had agreed to an interim border security agreement — even though both countries agreed to do things they were already doing

I think so. And there was this:

The day after Trump announced his tariffs, a Canadian energy company said prices will go up for its U.S. customers​

  • President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada include a 10% duty on energy products, which are consumed by many Americans in northern states. On Sunday, a Canadian energy company said its U.S. customers will see price hikes because of the tariffs.
President Donald Trump signed executive orders Saturday to impose tariffs on America's top trading partners, and the very next day a Canadian energy company said its U.S. customers will see higher prices.

You know The Canadian Power companies should increase the price of power they sell to the US 30% or MORE and then watch what the US consumers do. ( remember they won't be able to get power from any where else )
they will CRY like babies.
IMO the US consumers will go off the wall .
MAGAS are so stupid they don't know or don't realize that Canada supplies a lot of US consumers in the mid west , and some people in the north east with their electric . ( millions and millions of US consumers YES millions of them )
And IF they , the Canadians want to really get their attention They should shut down their power for 8 hours , I am sure that will get peoples attention. They won't need any more then that.
Can you imagine No lights. no traffic lights , No computers . NO anything that runs on electric .
The people that get their power from Canada wouldn't be able to work or do anything that requires electric.
And shutting it down for just that 8 hours could cost US consumers billions if not trillions of dollars and Trump doesn't care He has already told his MAGA followers I doesn't give a shit about them and only wanted their vote and their MONEY so why would he care about the hard working Americans?
But it doesn't matter MAGAS got what they wanted so let the shit show go on.

Am I seeing things or are tariffs the silver bullet to basically every problem? Did you hear that Panamá is rubber-stamping everything Marco Rubio requests, i.e. locking up their border with South America and not renewing China's contracts in the canal? (I realize that isn't so much a tariff thing, but I'm guessing that Panamá just doesn't even want to go there).

I can't wait to see tariffs actually in action. If they are this effective in not being applied, I'm eager to see them rock 'n roll.

Trump wins every time. The TDS-infected never learn this; they just keep saying stupid things forever.

Remember, Trump is the only President since FDR to win three consecutive Presidential elections.
