Commitment comes after week of chaotic messaging from U.S. president

U.S. President Donald Trump says he will end a month-long pause and slap a 25 per cent tariff on most Canadian goods as of March 4, claiming he needs to take action because “drugs are still pouring into our country” despite evidence that a crackdown at the border is working.

Trump said in a social media post Thursday that fentanyl imports are killing people and the U.S. “cannot allow this scourge to continue to harm the USA” and he will levy a 25 per cent tariff on Canada “until it stops, or is seriously limited.”

He also says his threatened reciprocal tariffs on specific goods set to come into effect in April “will remain in full force and effect.”

The commitment comes after a week of chaotic messaging from the president.

If citizens do not pay taxes but government runs out of many, that is a healthy economy. If people want public services to cover costs but they don’t pay taxes then the people can hand out their own cash and the people can pay the expenses of other people to help them instead of government paying the expenses of other people.

If you are concerned about the economy, give away to your own money from your bank account to anyone who needs it.
