I have a lot of issues with Trudeau but the one thing I have to give him is that he can really deal with Trump well

Side note but since when is Canada a major source of drug cartels and fentanyl production lol?

Agents captured an average of 1,810 pounds of fentanyl a month at the US-Mexico border ... On the northern border, an average of 1.8 pounds a month was seized over the same period.

This is just a Trump power play, it has no basis in reality, but it strokes his ego and forces others to scramble.

Obviously, the recent RCMP fentanyl busts in BC got on Trump’s radar somehow, and he just assumed all that fentanyl was making its way to the US, instead of Australia like the investigation suggested.

Probably not. Trump is infamously inconstant. In don't think there is a solid policy based on a specific identified problem. I'm pretty sure Trump's focus on tariffs is as solid and will informed as that old grumpy guy at the coffee shop or work.

It does mean that the solution to getting the Trump tariffs lifted has nothing to do with the 1.8 lbs of meth seized at the Canadian border. Another Canadian musical premiere like Come From Away on Broadway with Trudeau hosting would go further than any number of border guards.
