    Unfortunately I couldn't read the entire post because TruthSocial (sic) requires a login to read the whole thing.

    So maybe he said something stupid in the same sentence. But generally, a punitive tariff pending a policy change is an idea I could support.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        I wrote here months ago that carrot/stick tariffs were what he had done in the past and what I anticipate in the future.

        Education is extremely important.

          I don’t get the threat to China over Fentanyl. I thought the cartels in Mexico were the main problem with Fentanyl proctor and exporting to the US?

            I don't get the threat to Canada (other than the obvious...).

            Is a significant portion of fentanyl coming across the northern border?

                Supply management in agriculture products is a stickler and one any federal government on Canada wishes not to address given the strength of the agiculture lobbies in Ontario and Quebec. There is also the perennial dispute over softwood lumber.

                Could also be leverage on our dismal record of Defence spending.

                For our part it would be appreciated if the Trump Administration would be of assistance in curtailing the smuggling of illegal firearms from the US into this country.

                At this stage it is nothing more than the usual deranged Trumpian social media bluster.

                          So what has that got to to do with bilateral trade between Canada and the US? Perhaps he did not get the memo how law enforcement and Customs officials on both sides of the 49th work together in busting criminal rings involved. Besides Canada is hardly a threat in this regard.

                          I am calling bullshit on that as a bilateral issue warranting punitive tarriffs on trade.

                                Not disagreeing with you, just stating that Trump couched the threat in terms of drug trafficking.

Perhaps he did not get the memo how law enforcement and Customs officials on both sides of the 49th work together in busting criminal rings involved. Besides Canada is hardly a threat in this regard.

                                  I am calling bullshit on that as a bilateral issue warranting punitive tarriffs on trade.

                                  Not disagreeing with you, just stating that Trump couched the threat in terms of drug trafficking.

                                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                      Wonderful, but probably not a perfect conversation. That would have come with a happy ending for all those concerned.

                                        Yeah. He probably ... ahem... blew that load on a perfect conversation in 2017 or so.
