‘No room left for Mexico or Canada’ to make a deal, Trump says
U.S. President Donald Trump says his long-threatened trade war is going ahead with tariffs on Canadian goods set to take effect just after midnight and there’s nothing Canada can do to stop them.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said the United States has been “a laughingstock for years and years” and he needs to take trade action against its continental neighbours.
He said Canada has allowed fentanyl to flood into the U.S. despite data that shows the claim is false.
“Very importantly, tomorrow, tariffs, 25 per cent on Canada and 25 per cent on Mexico, and that will start. So, they’re gonna have to have a tariff,” Trump said.
Agreed. But most of the measure were actually targeted, like removing alcohol from red states. I think Canada should also straight up ban X/Twitter and have a roadmap to ban everything Meta, too. Yes, people could still access them via VPN, but Meta not doing business here would prevent them from getting ad revenue. Also, the target most prone to falling for fake news (boomer and dumb people) probably can’t get a VPN to work, so we kill 2 birds with one stone.

Have you met people? Most people use the default wifi password on their router.
If facebook is what makes people learn how to circumvent technological restrictions, it will be the first good thing they’ve done in many years.
Country-wide censorship is not the answer.
