No biggie. It’s just the Secretary of the Treasury agreeing with the Chinese government that the President of the United States is brazenly lying about trade talks.

The stupidity of Donald Trump’s trade policies is shocking. Mexico and Canada are our neighbors and our closest trade partners. His administration negotiated the last trade deal with them. He is deliberately harming our allies, our economy and is going to increase inflation for our country.

FULL SPEECH | Trudeau outlines response to U.S. tariffs
YouTube video by CBC News FULL SPEECH | Trudeau outlines response to U.S. tariffs

Must watch war speech by Justin Trudeau.

Few outside of Canada understand our combination of civility, empathy and steel in our spine - this speech explains all that.

Not a foul word spoken. Not one inch of retreat.

Long Live Canada
Vive Le Canada

Last year, law enforcement intercepted about 19 kilograms of fentanyl at the US-Canada border. At the southern border, agents seized 9,600 kilograms.

The idea that Canada is a major source of drugs is a lie, and this admin is hoping you’re stupid enough to believe it.

Welcome to affirmative action for incompetent, morally bankrupt, sexually-assaulting ass-kissers. While distracting you with the sexist/racist lie that DEI has anything to do with lowering standards. And pretending to be Christian while desecrating the values of Jesus by spewing hatred and division.
