“Canada has failed to co-operate in curbing the ongoing flood of fentanyl and other illicit drugs, and it has retaliated against the United States for the president’s actions to address this unusual and extraordinary threat,” says the statement.
If I remember correctly most of the fentanyl found was heading north to Canada not south to the US.
OMG, he’s still on fentanyl, wow. He didn’t even use the Palestinian statehood on this one. That’s great. It means absolutely no one in Canada would be confused this is bullshit.

So it’s still just theatre. I’m not sure who the audience is at this point.
His followers, who think this makes him a strong leader.
You’re probably right. I keep forgetting the context he operates in. From propaganda perspective these tariffs are a perfect tool for him. They allow him to maintain the strong leader facade while having little economic effect. The fentanyl issue is something his base is concerned about so he loops than in to demonstrate he’s taking care of it. We can live with that.
