For people who are wondering why Trump is punishing Canada with tariffs, I want to post this short video where the current Canadian Prime Minister is debating the future Prime Minister. It’s all in there, in their own words. The future Canadian leader is explaining “why now, why is Canada punished more than China,” all of it.

If the Poilievre guy is going to be in power soon, then why not wait to work with him on the fentanyl issue? Placing tariffs on the entire country seems extreme to me, especially if there is someone who agrees with you and you can work things with. Now it just seems all of Canada is behind Trudeau and against the US.

There’s no reason to be certain the change of power in Canada will happen before Trump’s first 100 days. Plus, there needs to be a reason for the parliament to vote to stop fentanyl. Right now the far left in the parliament is doing everything to legalize every hard drug in existence.

Actually, no, it wouldn’t be accurate to call them punjabi. Punjabi is an umbrella term comprising anyone originating from the state of punjab: Hindu, muslim, whatever. Sikh is a separate identity, and it’s not just based on religion. Khalistanis call themselves the purest Sikhs of all.

This isn’t a Khalistani or a Sikh thing though. It is, in fact, a Punjabi thing. There happens to be a lot of overlap with Sikhs.

I’m not even sure what this nitpicking is all about. The Canadian government is beholden to Khalistani/Sikh interests and these people are human trash that should’ve been deported a long time ago. Not really interested in splitting hairs about their exact ethnic composition.

Punjab never did. 99% of Indian immigration to Canada is human biomass. The absolute dregs of society. Ironically this happened under their “points system” policy where you’d get points for education, etc in order to qualify to immigrate there. Good job with all the due diligence, Canada!

Great article.
The regulators found that “brokers worked with drug dealers and work to find “truckers from their own community…. They know these truckers won’t disappear with drugs worth millions of dollars because these coordinates know where these truckers are from in Punjab…right down to their villages”
In the Truckers Tikka Masala piece, I make note of several problems with the Sikh trucking community and the failure of the government to reign in their abuse of work visas, the dodgy ass ‘truck driving schools’, and in particular to British Columbia, the fact that you can take all of your written license tests in Punjabi, which effectively allows these people to obtain a Class 1 (Commercial Drivers License in Western Canada) with little to no understanding of English.
We can speak with you in your language about your claim, insurance or driver licensing needs.
If you’re new to B.C. or if English isn’t your first language, we’re here to help. We offer free, over-the-phone interpretation services in 170 languages, and two language lines (Chinese and Punjabi).
In addition to not requiring proficiency in English, it also appears that you do not require even Permanent Residency privileges to drive trucks back and forth across the border.

I don’t have a strong opinion on Trump’s recent decision regarding international commerce, unless I fear it might be detrimental to poorer people on both sides of the borders. I also have isolationist tendencies, in the sense that I enjoy buying local goods, for environmental purposes mostly. But, do you seriously think that those policies will prevent drug circulation and production? Fentanyl is an open-eye nightmare in Canada and in the US, true, but drugs will always find ways to circulate. Also, the video seems edited. I don’t like that.
For the first time in months, in interviews, Poilièvre refused to say whether he would move a motion to make the Liberal government fall yesterday. Makes one wonder. One thing is to complain when you are in the opposition; another is to rule a country. He will win anyways.
Oh well, at least things are getting interesting.

Yes, of course, the idea punishing more severely Fentanyl money laundering is not bad. I But again, I genuinely wonder whether it will make a difference. Hopefully so.
