Hold on, how about Trump starts with not endorsing the leader of The Liberal Party of Canada. They have passed laws allowing the drug trade to free flow and appointed judges to protect traffickers. Hold your onto your bombs until you know who is who in the North.
Fentanyl took my boy at the tender age of 27. He had recently met and fell in love with the gal that I thought was the one. They were engaged, the lights were bright, and I had never seen him happier. Then I got the 4 am phone call, y'know, the one you wished that you never would have answered. As he laid there on that gurney, dead, I was already hatching a plot to even the score. I was even going to kill them at his funeral. But that would have done nothing but take me away from the ones still here that need me. Canada and Mexico didn't have a damn thing to do with his death, I hold no grudge there. It was simply his time to go, period. When God tells you to hang em up, that is exactly what you do. I miss him, his laughter, his charm...and I always will. But don't let anyone tell you what to think about it. Do your own research, the answers will come.
why is it that pathetic man babies who couldn't fight their way through a wet tissue always go for 'war' and 'fight' - i mean i know it's a recognised pathology, but what is it about the US that produces so many of them?
What about that Silk Road founder you just pardoned? What about all the "WMD" HE trafficked during the money years? Next up: the death penalty for "drug dealers," just like the halcyon days of the Philippines under Marcos. Hey, parents, your kid could be first! Didn't know there was fentanyl in that pill? That's no excuse.
Trump (and Project 2025) has no interest in actually addressing the addiction crisis. Not one word about treatment. They don't care about lives lost or damaged. All they care about is looking like Big Tough Manly Men at whoever else's expense.
Canada did not participate in the invasion of Iraq. We received significant criticism from the US and in fact some penalties from Georgie Porgie as e result and if my memory holds.
Ta, Gary. Just about everyone here knows I'm a harm reductionist who has reversed two fentanyl overdoses. Neither person *intended* to take fentanyl. While attending a course at the Harm Reduction Coalition, one of the presenters described what it's like to mainline fentanyl on purpose. It's quite a bit stronger than other opiates, but short-lived. Personally, I don't think it has any business being used outside a hospital setting, where it's valuable, or in patch form for things like cancer pain. That it is a common contaminant is so many street drugs is frightening, because of the probability that opiate-naive users will overdose.
One of my clients, a beautiful woman with a gorgeous singing voice, was a cocaine user. I begged her to take an overdose rescue kit (Narcan™️) in case the worst happened. She only wanted the nitrile gloves, which I was not going to remove from the kit. I got her a pair of gloves and tried to talk her into taking the naloxone "just in case." She refused. She was fresh out of rehab, and had convinced herself she was never going to use again. A few weeks later, she was dead of a fentanyl overdose; the coke she scored was full of it. By the time she was discovered, her body was decomposing. Her family couldn't have an open casket. Rest In Peace, MW. You are missed.
It is the USA's responsibility to stop drugs coming over the border, just like they are responsible for stopping illegal migration into their country. But no the republicans just blame others to justify with fake virtue and disguise their real intention, which is to invade and attack others.
The Attorney General may request the Secretary of Defense to provide assistance under section 382 of title 10 in support of Department of Justice activities relating to the enforcement of section 2332a of this title during an emergency situation involving a weapon of mass destruction. The authority to make such a request may be exercised by another official of the Department of Justice in accordance with section 382(f)(2) of title 10.
One thing particularly frightening about this "designation" is the additional concern here in Mexico (making it's way into US media) about a recent body dump discovery ... an under-investigated known "gangster training center" in Jalisco. Stories suggesting a mass "extermination camp" and even rumors that the place was run by foreign mercenaries working for "cartels" are being circulated...especially by the Mexican political right, which would welcome a US "intervention"!... and giving the US an excuse to do so under some vague "R2P" (Responsibility to Protect) rationale.
"Last year, Border Patrol seized all of 43 pounds of fentanyl at the northern border, which is .2 percent of the more than 21,000 pounds seized at the Mexican border."
OTOH, as I saw someone point out recently, the Canadian border is much easier to smuggle things across than is realized. How thorough are searches between say, Windsor and Detroit, or at Niagra Falls, Vancouver-Seattle, let alone along the St. Lawrence.
I also saw claims that "Mexican drug lords" were operating in Canada... though there's no reason to think Canadians don't have their own "drug lords".
I don't say there is all that much smuggling but it may be considerably more than what is claimed, and it has to be noted, Canadians are consumers of fentanyl too.

"Trump is in the White House with a retinue full of people who like to play-act as tough guys"
America, the Nation of LARPers.
How can we classify Trump as a “Weapon of Mass Destruction?”

Remember when the role of a White House adviser was to say "Mister President, I'm not sure you can actually do that."?
Canada refused to go to Iraq with the US. We can question the weapons of mass destruction. It caused quite a bit of flack for us.
We did go to Afghanistan as part of the coalition. We were there from 2001 to 2014.
Here is where he is going with that:
18 US Code 2332(e):

The Mennonite Mafia has been operating in Canada, USAmerica and Mexico for a long time, lotsa drugs to go around!
