Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday U.S. President Donald Trump will hold off on levying tariffs on Canada for at least 30 days after Canada made a series of commitments to improve security along the border.

The country can let out a collective sigh of relief — at least for now.

To get Trump to shelve his punishing tariffs, Trudeau said Canada is reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel and stepping up its co-ordination with American officials to stop the flow of fentanyl.

    Agreed. If someone raises a hand to you, doesn’t matter if they strike or not, the damage is done. America proved they are untrustworthy. Fuck em.

        Yea, I don’t blame Americans at large. I believe most of them don’t want this either.

      It’s a shame because your feelings are right, and I believe it’s exactly what conservative American politicians want everyone to think.

      I don’t know what the long game of the US ruling class is, but I do believe it’s for the US to be isolated from its neighbors and (former) allies.

        The evidence points to the incineration of the planet as the long game of the ruling class.
