      Yes. Canada and Mexico are transit countries for products coming from China. Plus, he wants to reduce Fentanyl (but I doubt this is the real reason).

        What? No.

                Nobody seriously believes Project 2025 is real, or that the USA will backstab Ukraine, or that they would turn against the rest of NATO, or threaten to kick Canada out of Five eyes, or…

                When will you fucking guys wake up? Your country is being taken from you and you’re all standing around like “nuh-uh, no one can be stupid enough to do that!” Well I have news for you: there are people that stupid, and half of your countrymen are equally stupid.
