    Just a friendly reminder too that a 2015 report from the ATF found that 71% of the guns the cartels use are bought in the United States and carried south across the border. The United States is just as complicit in the rise of cartel related crime as the cartels themselves!

    Cartels have boats, but no one’s shipping drugs up to Canada just to smuggle them south: They just get shipped directly to the US

    Trump is just making up an excuse to justify cutting off trade with Canada.

    Really, the whole fentanyl thing seems like scaremongering: People do overdose on it, but you won’t die from touching it or inhaling trace quantity. It’s not even the most potent opioid known, not even close to it.

    I’m not gonna touch the insane ramblings of the Cheeto, but I will remind you that the oceans exist and you can very easily take a boat from Mexico to Canada without ever entering the US if you wanted to.

    He’s just setting things up for the invasion of Canada. Fentanyl, cartel, none of this is real. The idea probably comes from Putin.
