    What the hell is "forceful but reasonable" anyway?
    I guess as opposed to ‘forceful and unreasonable’ which is what we seem to be doing. 
    Well I don't know that tariffs are unreasonable, we will have to wait and see the outcome.  canada has been sucking on the hind tit long enough quite frankly. Time to pay up.  

    The ICE sweeps are certainly unreasonable.

    what relevance does this have on the issue at hand?
    It relates to tariffs on canada, and the threats of force against America.  Both tie back to "#47 economic policies", to be fair. 

    old images of trudeau have what relevance again?

    be very interesting to see the economic impact of lost tourism dollars. the places that will see the brunt of that.

    so very glad I havr every intention of driving my ram til it falls apart. fully paid and a lifetime warranty, I wont have to fuck with the coat of a new vehicle when all builds are a blend of american, canadian and mexican parts.

    The American economy will be fine for the most part without tourism from Canada, but I guarantee you that if will hurt all the border towns that Canadians frequent. Be great if other countries boycott American travel as well. Maybe all the nurses and hospital staff that cross the border into Michigan daily decide to work closer to home. The tariffs are going to hurt people up here but Americans are going to feel it as well, some worse than others but you’ll feel it.

    Seems more thoughtful and intelligent as well. It is strange that the United States seems more aggressive to it's allies than to our adversaries these days.

    Well, I wouldn't fly here if I were you. Our skies do not appear safe at the moment...and I'd bet coercing a bunch of federal employees to quit won't improve matters. lol

    The maddening thing is, things have been more than fine. They could have just stayed the course and gotten an easy W like they did in the first 3 years of the first admin.

    1:38 p.m. EST: Tariffs on Canada to take effect on Tuesday

    Canada will be hit with a 25 per cent tariff across the board with an exception on energy which will be 10 per cent, Mexico will be hit with a 25 per cent tariff across the board including energy, and China a 10 per cent tariff across the board, CTV News' chief political correspondent Vassy Kapelos says.

    It would take effect on Tuesday and would be in place until the fentanyl overdose issue is sorted.

    Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs and Minister of Finance Dominic LeBlanc and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will announce a Canadian response at 6 p.m. EST tonight.

    Of course the other alternative is actually recognizing that conditions at the border have improved dramatically over the last year and that they would improve further if this idiot would just revisit the bipartisan immigration bill he killed last year.

    If you treat your friends like enemies, they will soon actually be your enemies. Maybe that is what he is going for.

    He’s making a lot of enemies. Eventually the enemies rally together. Sounds like Russia vs. the west. 

    Remember when Russia thought they had Europe at their mercy due to oil reliance and they wouldn’t push back. That changed really quick.

    0.2% of fentanyl and 1.5% of illegal immigrants come through Canada vs. Mexico. Crazy the tariffs are the same.

    this includes the transport of parts to and from 3rd party suppliers affecting them as well as the trucking companies moving the freight.
