I'm not going to put much faith in an article which purports to ask the question of why they've done this and gives no answer other than that Trump says it's about "migrants and drugs." I don't know what the real reasons might be, but if there's one thing that's obvious it's that it has nothing at all to do with migrants or drugs.

That is Trump's official reasoning for the tarifs, although Canada is responsible for <1% of drug imports and illegal immigrants into the States. Makes no sense. I think it's part of a bigger plan to weaken our economy and make the prospect of annexation more likely in the future.

Support Canadian producers and suppliers as much as possible!!!

Canada holds natural resources that Trump wants to control, including the future potential arctic route.

I believe it is to weaken Americans so they cannot resist the fascist takeover.
