Canada doesn't allow US banks to do business in Canada because they don't meet reasonable standards. Canada didn't have a 2008 crisis because our banks didn't lend money to anything with a pulse. It would not surprise me if Trump is a Trojan horse, pretending to champion freedom and morality, but leading the march to one world government, doing his part by attempting to bring North America all under one government.
BTW, Canada had already announced the $1.3B border security plan back in December, so the tariffs had nothing to do with it. Also, there is no trade deficit because Trump is disingenuously omitting services from the calculation. Regardless, expecting a country with one tenth the population to purchase the same dollar value of goods from the higher population country is ludicrous, not to mention impossible. The only reason for the ridiculous fentanyl story is because the tariffs are a direct violation of the trade agreement negotiated by Trump himself in his first term, unless you have a bull$hit story like 19 kg of fentanyl to pretend is the reason.
There are many here in Canada that were relieved when Trump won the election but he's squandered the friendship and good will of Canadians for many years to come for nothing. He f'd up, and Canadians have a long memory and are loyal to real friends, but screw us over and we won't forget. The boycotts are Canada-wide and are not going away soon. BC and Ontario together comprise the largest alcohol export market in the world, and we have plenty of worthy alternatives. BC has a distillery that just won several first places in a worldwide whisky competition for example.

I dont understand this obsession with fentanyl, perhaps he is trying to claim credit from Biden.
I have no party affiliation by the way.
this is simple to understand :
1) an emergency was needed to be declared to enact the Tariffs on Canada
2) the official USA Customs Government web page states that the amount of the drug coming in from Canada is less then 1 percent ,,,,, 90 percent of that small amount thru the border crossing points
3) that next day Trump is videotaped for all to see that if the American people would be willing to suffer for a little while they could cause such catastrophic economic damage to Canada that they would have no option but to be absorbed into the United States

Trump certainly has 'something' to do with helping solve the crises as president. Maybe he should sign an executive leaf raking order to prevent forest fires. This would be in line with his previous comments. He's flooding California farming lands, because somehow releasing reserves of water meant for the summer fires will somehow help, all without correspondence from the state.
I am in California.
That would be the Peoples Republic of California.
President Trump had ZERO to do with the fires…that’s all on your current state representatives, county supervisors, city councils and mayors, while the FAA problem was a direct result of multiculturalism which is only now being corrected.
But I have learned all to well to not to attempt to debate so called facts from the actual truth with those in your state, so go ahead and try to claim independence as Comrade Newsom and his cronies are attempting to do on the next ballot. In the meantime, don’t be surprised when Federal funds are slowly, but surely, taken away from those areas that continue to support their illegal sanctuary status.

I see what did Trump ask Trudeau to do that got him mad?
Trudeau probably said no to giving US territory. Trump see Putin and China as powerful leaders, who take land when they want it. I'm sure it's more complex than that, but fentanyl isn't' the reason. As long as Americans want fent, they will get fent one way or another. Strategies shift, and stopping migrants won't stop the inflow.

My strawberries and Orange Juice is about to become much more expensive. I'd say US agriculture cannot survive without immigrant labor. People won't stop eating food, so that problem solves itself. Americans will just change their diets to what they can afford.

you have been watching too much Fox news.
First of all a huge percentage of farm workers are undocumented aliens ..... care to take a guess how big the percentage is ?
I have yet to meet ANYONE from white America that is going to be sending their kids into the Strawberry fields ay harvest time - that means costs are going to skyrocket.
as far as illegal crossings did you know that almost everyone in the Mexican . Canada border cities has a :
"A Border Crossing Card is a laminated card that allows the holder to cross the U.S.- Mexico border as a visitor with a B-1 or B-2 status, meaning you can enter the United States for pleasure, business, or both. Compared to a driver's license, the BCC looks the same as a credit card.
During a 10-year period, the BCC is valid for unlimited visits into the United States. "
that's right - millions of folks just walk right on in - no climbing fences - no swimming streams
please don't try to school me on a subject that I know more about then you
