Power Corrupts – Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely

I WON'T STOP BEING A CANADIAN CHEERLEADER FOR AMERICA:
LET ME PUT THIS AS SUCCINCTLY AS POSSIBLE . . .

Trump Started A Trade War With Canada That Had No Reason & Everyone’s Going To Lose.

ACCORDING TO TRUMP – AMERICA SUBSIDIZES CANADA . . . HOW?

My Email Is Swamped by Canadians & Americans who Have a Common Theme & Question . . . What The Hell Is Trump Doing?

Remarkably . . . Canada Is On The Verge Of Kicking The Socialist Liberals Out Of Power. But Because of this White House Stupidity, Trudeau is Fighting Back on the Side of Canada, which is Making Trudeau, who is an Absolute Jerk in the Minds of Most Canadians, Look Like A Hero.

CANADA IS NOT THE ENEMY OF AMERICA:

I Said & I’ve Written This Repeatedly . . . I Fully Supported Donald Trump During his Worst Times & During his Best Times. No-One Wanted Trump to Succeed More than Me . . . Even Now – But What Trump Just Did To Canada Is Ludicrous.

If Trump Thinks Canada is Ripping-Off America with the USMCA Trade Deal . . . He Should Look in the Mirror, Because the USMCA Trade Deal is the Deal of His own Making.

IT SICKENED ME!

Does It Make Trump Feel Good . . . Knowing that for the First Time in My Life, (Last Night) I Heard Thousands of Hockey Fans in Ottawa . . . BOO The American National Anthem Before An NHL Game?

Not Only Are We Not The Enemy . . . We are America’s Closest Friend, Ally, Importer, Exporter & World Advocate. While it is True that Trudeau & Trudeau’s Ilk Have Insulted Trump & Openly Wished for Trump to Lose to Kamala Harris, and then Publicly Expressed his (Trudeau’s) Disappointment When  Harris Lost – That’s On Trudeau . . . Not On Canada, Which Wants To See The End Of Trudeau As Quickly As Possible.

Canada Is Not Responsible For The Surge Of Illegals On The American Border.

Canada is Not Responsible for the Flood of Illegal Drugs Crossing Into the United States. And as I’ve just Read from Canadian Customs Reports . . . The Amount of Illegal Aliens & Illicit Drugs that Canada is Responsible for in the Big Picture that Enters Into America . . . Is About One Percent Of The Total.

SO WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ALL ABOUT?

As Of This Morning, Trudeau Announced Canada will be Imposing our Own Draconian Tariffs on America Goods Coming Into Canada, Starting with Basic Goods, Leading to Major Imports in Less than a Month From Now.

I’M TALKING MEGA BILLIONS:

But Trudeau Is Not Alone . . . Because of this Lunacy, Canadian Premiers are Circling the Wagons Around Canada’s Most Detestable Prime Minister Ever (Justin Trudeau), to Protect the Canadian People, who are Already Feeling the Terrible SCOURGE from Inflation and a Faltering Economy.

Canada Is Suffering . . . And For Us, It’s Going To Get Much Worse. But Canada is Not the Only Country that Will Feel this Needless Agony, Since Canadian Trade from the United States of America into Canada, in Products & Tourism will Suffer No Less Greatly for America & Americans.

Out of all the Emails & Comments I Have Received from Both Sides of the Border on this Issue . . . Only One Person from Tennessee Suggested – Trump Knows Best – And In Him We Should Place Our Trust.

The Framers of the Most Incredible Document Ever Created by Man (The Constitution Of The United States Of America) . . . Specifically Crafted The Constitution With Powerful Checks & Balances To Protect The American People From The Avarice Of Politicians.

After The Death Of FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt) Who Won Four Presidential Elections, the American People Came to the Realization that – Power Corrupts, And Absolute Power Corrupts AbsolutelyIn 1951, Congress Brought About the 22nd Amendment, which Forbids any American from Being President of the United States of America for More than Two Terms – Consecutively Or Otherwise.

As A Young Man (Probably No Older Than 18-Years) – I Read a Book that was Published in 1958 Called the Ugly American. I wasn’t Really Old or Mature Enough to Fully Understand all the Nuances of the Book. But I Was Old Enough To Understand That I Didn’t Like The Essence Of The “Hidden” Anti-American Message.

AS A CANADIAN . . . I HAVE ALWAYS FELT PRIDE IN AMERICA:

Except For A Brief Period In My Younger Years As A Liberal . . . I Have Always Been A Pro-American Cheerleader – Still Am. When the American Miracle Team Beat the Russians at the 1980 Olympics In Lake Placid . . . No One Cheered More Loudly Than Me For The American Team.

Canada Cheered As Loudly As America, As Canada Always Does For American Accomplishments.

As I Was Writing This Editorial This Morning, I was Watching a Muted Fox in the Background, until I saw the Premier of British Columbia Declare that his Province will Immediately Stop Importing American Beer, Wine & Liquors, as well as Removing American Alcoholic Beverages Already on the Retail Shelves as a Counter Measure to Trump’s Tariffs, Since all Liquor Sales in British Columbia, like Most Canadian Provinces are Handled Exclusively by Each Province.

Canada Sells Very Little Wine To America . . . But Is The Largest Global Purchaser Of American Wine.

The Fox Anchor Thought It Was Really Funny & Suggested Canadians Simply Drink Too Much. I Don’t think it was Funny, Especially Since British Columbia is Already in Economic Pain and in Itself is Riddled with Drug Abuse & Homelessness.

British Columbia Also Happens to be the Single Largest Non-American Financial Contributor to America’s West Coast, as Far South as California.

I Don’t Know Where Trump Is Getting The Idea That Canada Can’t Survive Without Trump.

As Much as Canada Relies on America for Virtually all of our Trade, there is a Whole Big World Away from North America where Canada Can Buy & Sell all the Products that we Generally Buy from the USA.

Because Of Trump’s Tariffs, Canada Is Now Planning National Coast To Coast To Coast Pipelines.

Also . . . From What I’m Reading Now – Canada is Seriously Planning New Pipelines that will Run from Alberta/Saskatchewan to the Atlantic Ocean Via Quebec, to the Pacific Ocean with Greater Pipelines through British Columbia, and to the Arctic Ocean through Churchill Falls Manitoba, Meaning Canada Would Be Under No Obligation To Sell Canadian Crude & Gas To America At Discounted Prices.

A Trade War Will Only Cause Great Pain To Everyone In Canada & America . . . Especially a Trade War with No Purpose or Reason Other than Trump’s Oft-Repeated Mantra . . . That Trump Wants Canada To Become America’s 51st State.

If Trump Doesn’t Find a Way to Climb Down from these Insulting & Injurious Tariffs Within a Matter of Days . . . Not Only Will North America (Canada & The USA ) Feel the Ravages of Runaway Inflation . . .  But Perhaps Even Worse Than That.

I WON’T STOP BEING A CANADIAN CHEERLEADER FOR AMERICA:

I Will Continue To Love America. And I will Continue to Cheer-On Most of Trump’s Make America Great Again Policies – But I Won’t Be Dishonest About What I Believe, Even If It Bothers Some Die-Hard Pro-Trumpers.

If Trump Wants Canada & America To Grow Closer – This Is Not The Way To Do-It.

  1. I haven’t stopped thinking about all the ramifications all week. I’ve unfortunately come to the conclusion that Canada is now a failed state. Trudeau’s liberals have nailed the coffin shut. America will suffer but Canada will not survive this. Our work force is too low and out of control immigration cannot be sustained. Our social welfare system is no longer sustainable. New immigrants who are screened, vetted and merit based will be welcomed if employed on entry. Deportation must commence

  2. From what I’ve read, the tariff is mainly because of the amount of fentanyl and illegals coming across the norther border. As you’ve stated in previous article (and IMHO), it’s not the job of Canada to protect USA border. Hopefully (as I read in another article), it’s just proving the “tariff cannons” are loaded and not just for show and they will are merely a negotiating tactic that will soon be lifted.

  3. As usual Howard you are right on the mark with every shot. This tariff will go down as a big Trump error. I say that, and I am a long time Trump supporter. I spite of this I back Trump because there is no viable alternative for the next 4 years. My sympathy for any troubles caused to Canada’s citizens until this gets corrected and our president is back on course.

  4. Mr. Jim Pope, I agree with you!! They’ve talked about this on NEWSMAX for a very long time. A large amount of fentanyl and illegals coming over that northern border!

  5. Your statement, “Trump Started A Trade War With Canada That Had No Reason & Everyone’s Going To Lose.” You do NOT know that to be a fact. It might turn out it’s the best thing that has ever happened to Canada. BUT NOBODY KNOWS THAT YET EITHER. Last 40 years should have taught us all that gov’t, press, industries, education etc all lie, only show we the people 10% of what is really going on and most of the time are keeping us distracted and angry. Waste of time & energy to discuss.

  6. It’s already been said and needs to be repeated. Trump’s ill advised act of stupidity plays right into the hands of the sinister Justin Trudeau and his equally abhorrent advisor, Mark Carney. With parliament already on hold until a new Liberal leader is in place Trudeau is ruling Canada unhindered by any laws or parliamentry procedure. Canada is on the verge of having all future elections canceled. This will not bode well for Canada US relations as tyrannical rule will be the end result.

  7. It’s a game of chess. Hopefully Trump will beat the stuffings out of the Canadian liberals and the pain of the everyday Canadian that was there before Trump was elected will go away.

  8. I agree with Jim Pope… You say, Howard, Trump started the tariffs & trade war with no reason. I think he had very good reasons! Stop the fentanyl & illegals coming into Anerica. They & the drugs are passing from Canada into America. Trump warned to put a stop to it or face tariffs. Illegals & drugs weren’t stopped, so tariffs ensued. You honestly think Canada isn’t responsible for what passes from Canada over your border? Who would be responsible if the direction were reversed?

  9. Howard, I have to praise you again for this blog. I wish it would go to the White House and I hope many of our American friends will read it. Trudeau still acting as PM for Canada was in power with -20-% of the votes, but bought 100% of the media(with tax $$)but now got the booth from his own party. The Canadian Media is now relentless promoting Marc Carney(same caliber as Trudeau)for liberal party leader. I hope he will fail like Kamala did in the US.and our trade disputes will be solved soon.

  10. I sincerely hope that Trump is not serious about incorporating Canada into the USA. Greenland makes some sense but not Canada. And as for Canadian politics, this tariff war plays right into the hands of Justin Trudeau who has now been tossed a lifeline to appear as a leader. Indeed, he looked effective at his most recent press conference announcing Canadian tariffs on American goods. It served the purpose of making him appear to have “grown a set”. Not good for Pierre Polievre.

  11. as I recall Trump wanted action on the porous border situation, that was in preparation for whats coming. The southern border of the US is being shut down!! Im not a rocket scientist but the next logical move by cartels is going to be a shift north, trump has absolute distain for Justin T, 51st state? both a taunt and clarion call to stand up and be canadian!! after what he pulled on the truckers? boiled my blood!! Vote Pierre Poilievre in!! give Canada a leader trump will respect!! MCGA!

  12. I could not have said it better myself. It will definitely be difficult but we will survive. I don’t understand what is happening with the President. Most of my life America was a giver and it wasn’t always because the receiving nation asked but because America offered for political reasons. I am a cheerleader for Mr Trump but he has to stop the rhetoric. Ray Moscato, Calgary, Alberta

  13. It’s drugs even though minimal -Period. “The Secretary of Homeland Security shall inform the President of any circumstances that, in the opinion of the Secretary of Homeland Security, indicate that the Government of Canada has taken adequate steps to alleviate this public health crisis through cooperative enforcement actions,” the order states. “Upon the President’s determination of sufficient action to alleviate the crisis, the tariffs described in section 2 of this order shall be remo

  14. We all know the left wing media have been nothing more than cheerleaders for the biden administration. Investigative journalism be dammed. I think fox tv and others are proving to be just as bad. 19 – 20 kgs of fentanyl crossed the longest border in the world ( Canada/ USA ) in 2024. Over 9000 kgs went across the southern border in 24. Stop the nonsense about Canada being Mexico , and wake up. Canadians are your best friends. The way Trump is teeing off on every one your going to need some.

  15. I’m praying President Trump comes to his senses quickly regarding tariffs on Canada. This defies sound economic reasoning and severely endangers our long time relationship with Canada.
