Nope. Pissing off ones allies around the world just makes you look an arse, and will embolden the Chinese to take a mature lead in global trade - everyone needs global trade. Notice how the Chinese have totally ignored the orange kids 10% threats.

They're (CN) are in the game now according to this:

Note: what/who are "orange kids"?

You mean the one that was supposed to cost just under 5bn but as of latest has ballooned to 34bn. 

That's the one. But what about if it hadn't been built?

I watched this political analysis on Youtube about 2 years ago.

This guy has already predicted that Canada will break up.

The guy's voice is irritating.

And Canada would be entirely at the mercy of the United States. Granted, that 18 years ago, or whenever this project was first proposed, no sane person would have envisaged such a scenario.

I seem to recall reading something about Mexico and Canada each sending 10,000 troops to defend the borders?  And that the tariffs are only suspended for 30 days, pending results.

 

 "Trump got played. Canada *already* has 8,500 frontline personnel at the border," wrote former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan.

"We also announced the $1.3 billion in December. lol," replied Canadian journalist Jordan Heath-Rawlings.

Right. The massive problem of fentanyl coming from Canada:

Fentanyl is also made in Canada and smuggled into the U.S., but to a much lesser extent. U.S. customs agents seized 43 pounds (19.5 kilograms) of fentanyl at the Canadian border during the last fiscal year, compared with 21,100 pounds (9,570 kilograms) at the Mexican border.

I think that amount to .02%. Only a moron would think this is a worthwhile effort. But sometimes it pays to placate a moron.

Or 2,000,000 lethal doses. 

 

And at 0.02% that's 20 dead Americans, yes?

Legacy media would appear to need your support.

CBS apparently would like to settle for their manipulation of the interview with Vice President Harris. 

Their main reason for a settlement would be that CBS can give Trump a small win so he can prance around in front of the MAGA droolers claiming a victory.  There is as yet only vague claims by Trump's cronies.  CBS's offer will be a pittance compared to Fox's 787M$ plus more coming down the pike for Smartmatic.  Wanna bet?

What kind of bizarre math are you engaged in? 

At any rate, 20 deaths is a blip. You think it's worthwhile to direct so much expenditure on this? There aren't better ways to spend the billions devoted to this threat? How much narcan could that money buy? I bet it would save a lot more lives.

Arithmetic. Ever heard of it?

Narcon ruins a lot more lives than it saves.

Really? Do you mean something different from Narcan? If not, how does it ruin lives?

No, I mean Narcan. The injection they give to ODs over and over and over. 

 

In some communities, 90% of the emergency response budget is administering Narcan.
