Collins: He said that Canada is going to be implementing a $1.3 billion border plan, where they talk about reinforcing the border. I should note that's actually something that was announced back in December

Bless Trudeau for having the fortitude to stomach another conversation with donald 🤮I hope Carney is up for the task when he gets the Liberal leadership nod.
But there is a problem we’re about to face for the second time: All the asylum seekers flowing north to avoid getting picked up by ICE. At the very least we have a duty to avoid having them freeze to death as they cross. Then we have to figure out where to hold them all.
Incorrect. The money was earmarked to he spent in December 2024, well before Turnip said tariffs. Trudeau literally agreed to do exactly what he has been doing all along. This Czar? 19lbs of fentanyl were seized crossing into the US. Trump was played by both Canada and Mexico today.
I'm well aware that this is the money approved last year. Doesn't change the fact that it is wasted on a small amount of fentanyl and responsibility for what enters the UD is their border problem
Canada should focus on what comes into Canada.
Its not wasted on anything, the money is going towards securing OUR borders from illegal guns and drugs coming from the US. Everything Trudeau said is for our border, spun in a way that Trump thinks he won.
So no real change from Canada's plan other than just creating a "czar" who will be overlooking this fake drug "crisis". Sounds like Trump just chickened out. LOL
Meanwhile Canadian shoppers aren’t forgetting this. Canadian tourists will go elsewhere. Our businesses are now looking for more reliable suppliers and partners. And our government knows, again, that just like with NAFTA we’re dealing with a toothless tiger.
When red states begin to feel the pain from their products (rightfully) being pulled from the shelves, hopefully, they will wake up and see the correlation.
Trump always tries to take credit for things Biden implemented like this Canadian border deal that was already in place before his Presidency. Trump is nothing more than a media whore even with all his lies his Maga base thinks he's winning when he's not.
Fantastic news! A drug czar! So we need to nominate someone fast and i put forth Rick Mercer from This Hour Has 22 Minutes. My next choice would be the prolific baker and coffee specialist Tim Horton. Lets Go Canada!!!!
Good god. Can you just imagine a talking to Americans with Rick Mercer & Trump. Charge worldwide pay per view, it would probably fund Canada for decades.
i need to say this…how stupid does american media think people are? If canada is appointing a czar for drugs etc it is not to stop a flow north to south it is to reinforce the border south to north!…drugs, guns and usa migrants trying to get into canada-for f’cks sake.
Trump was probably advised that making Canada the 51st state would totaly destroy the future of the GOP and ensure that the Democrats would control WH, Senate and House for generations to come!
So, @kaitlancollins.bsky.social, what you're saying is that it was all total bullshit, and the orange felon is just jerking around the entire world so he can feel important, right?
that will not matter to Trump, he wants something to go back to the Trumputians and get an Ata-boy. a 78yrs old child. Canada will be enforcing their border to stop us from migrating there.
Fentanyl czar.
Why do they come up with these idiotic titles?
Why can't they just say DEA or the head of the DEA?
It's supposed to be more impressive but it just annoys me. Like the war on drugs. But yeah. Don the Pawn is a loser, like always.
This is only the beginning, not the end. Trump can never, ever be trusted. His word means nothing. Negotiations mean nothing. Agreements mean nothing. “Paused for at least 30 days” likely only means postponing tariffs so Trump can say that he gave us a chance to negotiate and now has no choice.
They need to find their national bozo level embarrassment equivalent to Kash Patel - the most freakish Canadian ever to be born (like Ted Cruz) and say here - this fuckwit with only 16 felony convictions and four ex wives is our Fentanyl Czar to America.
It matters not. MAGA isn't worth it. There's nothing anyone can say to change their little minds. Let them have the win. Their egg prices are still going up.
Trump is caving and both Canada and Mexico gave him an easy off ramp to save face. If his tariffs were the brilliant plan he claimed they were, destined to restore US economic greatness, why would he abandon that plan for these “concessions”? Wouldn’t he want to proceed for the economy? Pure 💩.
Trump's trademark: Take credit for something good that he had NOTHING to do with. Blame anyone and everyone for something he had EVERYTHING to do with. And follow the Roy Cohn Rules: Never admit you're wrong and never apologize. Read about how Cohn mentored Trump. It's enlightening and frightening.
The problem with that is his supporters thinks it’s a win and then they double down on his “greatness.” That’s how he’s been duping them all along. We need to find a way to burst that bubble!
Depends. Do you think US Customs and border patrol is super incompetent, but only at the northern border, and missing huge gobs of it even though the exact same org catches tons at the south? Or are you good at logic?
It is a question that by definition cannot be known but the answer can be pretty readily inferred, so it's a question that I see asked almost always in bad faith. If that's not how you intended it, sorry to catch you in the crossfire, you're a rare exception.
Likely not much. If much more was coming over, the people doing it are Ninja-level covert operators. Eluding detection and leaving no trace of their actions (nobody on either border witnessing vehicles, tracks, etc.)
Or
Not much comes over from Canada.
Dear American, Canadian here. You know, Donald declared war to me and hints at annexation. That Nazi scum is scaring my kids and family. He is needlessly causing economic harm and worry. Stop saying you are with us, that you are sorry… handle your fucking president.
We would love that!! Believe it or not, the majority of us hate him! Literally despise him with all of our beings! Only 32% of Americans voted for him. He won by a narrow margin of 1.6 and that’s with 5-6 million minority votes were magically purged. Meaning Kamala most likely won. So can we do?
77 million Americans voted for this piece of shit. They are stupid assholes, all of them. I don't know one who has any brain or integrity. I wish the rest of us could become Canadians and give our tax dollars to you. We are sorry for this asshole screwing your lives, at ours.
An interesting question is, if a picture of their face was knowingly attached to the vote for trump for everyone to see, would that number be as high? The understanding has to be there as far as who we are talking about when it comes to that 77 million…
I'm glad Mexico and Canada were able to make Trump back down, but now D's along with leaders like @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schiff.senate.gov need to emphasize how weak Trump has made America look by ready, fire, aim trade policy. The point is to keep driving Trumps numbers down.
2/2 ..... Then the Dem legislator should launch into a lengthy dialogue about Trump's/Musk's disastrous and dangerous actions are. This is exactly what the GOP does in their CNN, ABC, and network's interviews
I'd like to hear that more Democratic legislators are willing to go on Fox programs and drill this type of info into their conversations. Every time a Fox commentator asks any question, their response should be "Well, the question you really should be asking is ....." 1/2
Oh my god..Canada kudos to you for duping trump.. so embarrassing for the US but glad he fell for it.. However maga thinks trump whipped the Canadians🤣
Trump would gave you believe that if he unplugs a lamp, and then plugs it back in again, he fixed a broken lamp. And half of American, plus their elected officials, are so fucking dumb they nod in the affirmative.
Yeah. Most smugglers are American. And it's been documented for years.
And nobody every fucking references it or mentions it in media. It drives me mad.
We have the some of the shittiest journalists.
Y wld #Mexico & #Canada pause threats by the 🍊POS & give him things that make him seem more powerful to the deplorables. This is horrible & my heart hurts for the decent BUT our allie leaders, the Dems etc MUST, MUST let 🍊 do some horrific things. If they keep stopping him, DEMS LOSE in 2026.
No Q
Oh plz! Biden already negotiated this - with Mexico also - 10,000 troops at border! Why can’t she call out Trumps lie- it’s all performance art! It is not about Fentanyl at all. She is the worse so called journalist!
Canada already announced a $1.3 billion border plan a month and a half ago, so it sounds like the only concession Trump is getting here is someone with the title of ”Fentanyl Czar“?
But he loves any title with the word "czar" following it. This just goes to show how easily played this Donny Dumbo is. Democrats need to take some lessons from Trudeau and Sheinbaum.
I wonder who Trudeau called to ask if they would mind having that title attached to their name in return for doing absolutely nothing. I wonder how long the laughter was afterwards. 🤣
Well, we can't actually prevent people from entering the US. That's their job. Anyone is free to leave Canadian territory it's up to the other country to stop them if they don't want them.
Many Canadians spent their weekend revising their shopping habits to exclude products made or grown in the USA, rebooking travel away from the USA, etc.
Since I do not trust Trump, and worry that our sovereignty will be jeopardized by all this “co-operation”, I will continue.
The fentanyl czar is probably my grandma who can stop the one suitcase of fentanyl that crosses the border every year. But if it makes the orange baby man happy..
Trump, like all bullies is a weak blob of blubber.
Canada stood up...Trump cowered.
And this is delicious.
Without average Americans paying Trump's tariffs there's no revenue sources to pay for his promised tax cuts..No $$ for lowering corporate rate to 15%..No tax on SS..on tips and overtime.
This is what I hate the most- the up and down mental warfare he’s inflicting on the American people. When in fact he is doing absolutely NOTHING but age us all 5 years a day while we are worried about this crap.
Call out his lie at every chance. Tfg is a loser. takes credit for other people's work but never any responsibility when he screws up. MAKE MORE NOISE!
He's going to go tell MAGA he got something that had actually already existed, and they're going to flap their arms together like seals that were just tossed a fish.
Trump got nothing that Canada hadn't already agreed to, and the fact remains that less than 1% of fentanyl seized by U.S. Customs comes through Canada. Trump is Oz, a blustering blowhard trying to project an image. He is an absolute waste of oxygen.
I’m not. He’s still the president and while he is, the US is untrustworthy. I will consider changing my mind when I haven’t heard 51st state come out of a MAGA mouth for a year. Tim Pool reset the counter yesterday.
He is just hurting the 🇺🇸 brand internationally. Many are just going away from their product with no plans to come back.
How does that help the US economy?!
Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran! These are the little boys rummaging through the US treasury!
Once again, we are seeing Felon47 in his recurring role of arsonist returning to the scene of the fire to play hero. We all see through his very bad acting. Sad.
So Trump is fill of sh#t again. What a blowhard. He is all about getting attention and nothing else. How long before he gets bored and spends all his time on a golf course?
Copied from sorry I forgot. But yes I agree
Anyone that doesn’t see what’s happening here, I’m at a loss. Trump created chaos “Tariffs!” to get the gullible and unhelpful press to focus on that instead of the musk & heritage takeover of our federal agencies
We the People & Democracy are losing the fight... all because the majority of voters are too uninformed and tribalist to see through Trump's big show of bullying to get something unnecessary and that he could have gotten without bullying
It’s all a big scam. Trump started this tariff chaos to hide what the Muskrat is doing. Now that Muskrat is in control of all our data and money. Suddenly the tariffs have been rescinded. We were all set up.

News release
December 17, 2024 – Ottawa, Canada
"the Honourable Ya'ara Saks, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions and Associate Minister of Health, released Canada’s Border Plan. Backed by an investment of $1.3 billion and built around five pillars,"
https://www.canada.ca/en/public-safety-canada/news/2024/12/government-of-canada-announces-its-plan-to-strengthen-border-security-and-our-immigration-system.html
Many may think it better to come to Canada, apply for asylum, and hope Trump is gone soon.
Canada should focus on what comes into Canada.
But, I'm sure Sen. Collins is "concerned."
Didn't he say he invented the word 'groceries'?
I figured I’d finish the sentence for you. 😂
Why do they come up with these idiotic titles?
Why can't they just say DEA or the head of the DEA?
It's supposed to be more impressive but it just annoys me. Like the war on drugs. But yeah. Don the Pawn is a loser, like always.
Too many moving parts to juggle
Let the dope have the "win" 🤣🤣🤣
Jeesus!
Or
Not much comes over from Canada.
Wish it had been him instead of Perry. Still holding out hope for a similar fate.
He is a con man, through and through.
The sooner we never have to deal with this guy ever again, the better.
But it's not like this has been a major, major problem for our country.
Oh wait.
He's still dangerous because he's a 70something year old spoiled toddler with access to nukes. But still.
What a loser
He only gave US creditibility away for years to come, turning allies to neutrals/enemies, and for that small sum he got nothing.
Canada makes up 2% of US border fentanyl seizures and it’s usually an American citizen who’s smuggling it.

Canada: We bought a stronger fence
maga: Ok thanks we're good
???
It's like Trump knows as much about borders as he knows about tariffs.
Since I do not trust Trump, and worry that our sovereignty will be jeopardized by all this “co-operation”, I will continue.
We can’t rely on hard fought trade agreements while Trump is in power.
No trust, no confidence. The damage to America’s image as a totally safe place to do business has been done
THIS "TARIFF GAME SHOW" NOW CREATING HAVOC IN MARKETS AND WITH TRADE ALLIES IS FALSELY POSITIONED TO REDUCE FENT AND FENT DEATHS.
BIDEN HAS BEEN WORKING WITH OUR ALLIES/BORDER ALLIES TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE
NOTE: FENT SMUGGLING/DEATHS TRIPLED UNDER TRUMP - HE DID NOTHING!
TRUMP/MUSK ARE UPENDING MARKETS WITH CHAOS AND RECKLESSNESS TO TAKE CREDIT FOR THAT WHICH THEY'VE DONE NOTHING TO ACCOMPLISH.
Canada stood up...Trump cowered.
And this is delicious.
Without average Americans paying Trump's tariffs there's no revenue sources to pay for his promised tax cuts..No $$ for lowering corporate rate to 15%..No tax on SS..on tips and overtime.
Please note that Elon is psychotic and no one should give him a red cent.
- The world
He doesn’t realize how much of a coward it makes him look like in the eyes of the world.
😃
trump is so stupid that he would be played by a toddler
How does that help the US economy?!
Trump is the terrorist.
If you are hunting smugglers, you are going to catch more guns than pills
They control your weak minds idiots MF.
