What Is the Government of Canada Up To?
More on the Impunity of the U.S. President and Canada's Attempt to Placate Him
The U.S. tariffs on goods from Canada in U.S. President Donald Trump's Executive Order were to take effect as of 12:01 am February 4. As Canadians waited for the other shoe to drop, precisely what goods would have what tariffs, they have heard a lot of government-speak about how the Government of Canada is ready to counter Trump's tariffs with its own tariffs on goods entering Canada from the U.S., how both the Canadian and U.S. economies will suffer damage, how the government will consult with experts and businesses to see what further tariffs it will issue, that it will see what trade lawyers have to say and that it will make sure Canadians are protected.
Now
today, February 4, having declared that he would "stand up for Canada,"
Justin Trudeau has announced the suspension of Trump's tariffs for one
month, in exchange for "strengthened measures against organized crime
and fentanyl." On the social network X, Trudeau announced that Ottawa
will have
appointed a "fentanyl czar," added Mexican cartels to the list of
terrorist entities, and monitor the border "24/7." He also spoke about
a "joint strike" with the United States on organized crime, fentanyl
trafficking and money laundering.
It escapes nobody that such a list of terrorist entities opens the door for Canada to join an armed U.S. intervention against Mexico. Canada's greater integration into the U.S. armed forces through "joint strikes" is in itself a negation of Canada's sovereignty. In addition to seriously endangering the security of the people in this country, it opens Canada to U.S. invasion as well.
Current talk about how Canada's "firm response," with a list of tariffs of its own, made Trump blink, is hogwash. Far from taking a firm stand against the dangerous path on which the U.S. President is taking Canada, Canada is attempting to placate him and that is not the way to go. Those who are egging him on to attack Mexico and Panama are taking an equally despicable position, as are those who say he should attack Russia and China, not Canada, their good neighbour and friend. Greenland is another country which Canadians must defend, along with the working class and people of the U.S. itself who the U.S. state has declared disposable along with the rest of us.
Canada's stand will go down in the annals of infamy for appeasing the U.S. and opening up Canada and many countries to unprecedented U.S. invasions and dire consequences if they do not submit to U.S. dictate.
All Out to Oppose a U.S.Takeover of Canada!
Our Security Lies in Our
Fight for the Rights of All!
