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 โ€” 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.

Still not going to set foot or spend a penny in that fascist shit-stain of a failed country. Canada needs to take this as a wake up call, the USA cannot be trusted. Ever, For anything. And Canada needs to pull its head out of the US's ass when it comes to foreign policy as well.

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.

At least, their goverment. I know there are still goid people 'down there' but first they need to give fascists the boot. then we can talk about rebuilding trust.

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

I fucking want out of here. I did my part to vote, to get out the message and it was all yelling at a brick wall.

Itโ€™s a shame because your feelings are right, and I believe itโ€™s exactly what conservative American politicians want everyone to think.

I donโ€™t know what the long game of the US ruling class is, but I do believe itโ€™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.

I've canceled a two-week road trip though the United States next fall. I would have spent a few thousand on food, accommodations, and gas during my trip. Not anymore!
