“These are things that every Canadian wants its government to do, too. These are not crazy demands, even if they came from an unpopular source."
Wait, there are demands? Can someone link to them?
Shopify is big in the US, is this just another businessman publicly buttering up TFM?

Thanks. I don’t use Spotify and don’t know anyone who does.
Am sure consumers here will respond and boycott accordingly .

This is the tweet. A charitable reading could be that Trump just needs a few strokes under (or I guess above) the table and this would be over:
Sniffs as sensible. Written by a man not invested in proving himself as if he's a child in a schoolyard forging an identity standing up to a bully.
Anyway, posturing about standing up to bullies is very cheap. We'll see how this goes.
Or, maybe a trade war ends well for Canada in the long run. I guess that's the notion? Or are we really at a "death before dishonor" crossroads?

Now, what is actually going to happen?
Canada tightens up the border and tariff goes away. Mexico is going to be more interesting...By declaring the cartels terrorist organizations, it means we can drop a SEAL team into the country, if we choose.

What about the part where no business leader would plan for an integrated supply chain anymore?
And what’s actually happening at the Canadian border that’s causing such a mess in the US? That’s still not very clear to people. Hard to address a problem without knowing what it is.

Tightens up the border? For what? How many migrants are busted from Canada? How much Fentanyl has been shipped into the US from Canada? The only complaint that I’ve seen about the Canadian border is that it’s too difficult to get in…

If you listen to the administration it seems like the fentanyl stuff, at least with respect to Canada, was necessary as a legal basis for tariffs under Trump’s rebranded NAFTA. But many of his comments seem to indicate a concern about trade deficits if not the very idea of imports, which he considers subsidies.
That’s why I asked the question ‘where are these demands?’
I don’t think any have been made, since that would require some coherent goal in the first place.

Excuse me, it’s not if you [the US] chooses to drop a military strike team into Canada.
Let me remind you that we have exclusive agency on our sovereign territory. If the US wants a criminal or terrorist target on our territory taken out, US law enforcement will work in cooperation with the responsible Canadian law enforcement agency to devise and execute a joint mission under Canadian command and control. If any military force needs to be engaged to meet the mission objective it will be in a Canadian uniform.

At least it’s not from Rebel News.

Anyway the article proves nothing to justify Trump’s sanctions and don’t think for a moment that the RCMP have not been working with US law enforcement agencies to deal with this issue long before this article was published.

It's Shopify, not Spotify.
