Canadians should be as concerned as Americans

I have stated before that Donald Trump has a unique super power.  He is able to force people to talk about things that they do not want to talk or even think about.  His 51^st state comments forced Canadians to consider if a Canadian passport was enough to define you as Canadian.  Then his Tariff threats caused Canadians to wonder how we got so dependent on the US.  But it is Trump’s latest comments that have the potential to really shake things up in Canada.

Trump has been clear that the tariffs go away when our border security improves but he won’t just take our word for it.  He needs to see concrete action.  The liberals are trying to nip the conversation in the bud by with the time honored Canadian tradition of attacking the messenger and appealing to sanctimonious moral superiority.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told business leaders in a closed-door meeting Friday, according to leaked audio obtained by The Logic. Trudeau also said that protecting democracy doesn’t seem to be a top priority for the new U.S. administration. 

The current U.S. administration are “prolific users of the tools of misinformation and disinformation for political purposes,” Trudeau said during a question and answer session at the Canada-U.S. Economic Summit in Toronto

Less than 1% of fentanyl entering the US comes from Canada, say our health officials and other defenders of Canadian innocence. True, in 2024 only 50 pounds of fentanyl coming from Canada was seized by the Americans, as compared to ten tons of the junk coming from Mexico. By way of explanation, RCMP Cpl. Arash Sayed introduced a dash of reality: the actual quantity of fentanyl that ends up in the US from Canada, he said, is in fact unknown — for the obvious reason that no one in either country knows how much was not stopped.

TDS is just a giant excuse not to look in the mirror. This is the only way for Canadians to keep their sanctimonious moral superiority intact.

I will confess that this will work with the majority of Canadians but there is a sizable minority who want to discuss if we really have a border problem and if there is a reason Trump might not trust Canada.  You can’t get far into that conversation without realizing the answer to both questions is yes.  We do have a severe border control problem.  It is so bad that we don’t even have a reliable estimate of how much fentanyl flows across it.  Canadian officials claim that it is small which is hard to believe since we just busted the largest fentanyl lab ever discovered in Canada.

Canada obviously has a border and drug smuggling problem so yes Donald Trump has a reason to be concerned about his northern border but I suspect he is more concerned about the answer to the second question.  Trump cannot trust Canada to do anything about it.

Senior Canadian politicians are bought and paid for.  Communist China and various criminal organizations have joint ownership of Justin Trudeau.  Trudeau is finally coming to the end of his run but Chinese ownership has not.  China is running a very effective program to replace their last pet politician, Justin Trudeau, with their new pet Politician, Mark Carney.

In all of my decades on the Canadian political scene, I’ve never witnessed such dirty, under-handed tactics to coronate a party leader.

And not just a party leader, but an interim Prime Minister.

Canada is the most well disguised failed state in the world.  On the surface Canada still looks like a functioning democracy.  Under that thin veneer however is a cesspool of corruption.  Donald Trump has every reason to be concerned.  On his northern border he has a vassal state of China that allows criminal networks to operate freely.  He would be foolish to take Canada’s word on anything.
