“citing what it called Beijing’s failure to tackle the illicit fentanyl trade.”

What the actual fuck does this have to do with fentanyl. Do they think that’s gonna fool literally anybody?

unfortunately, yes it fools a huge amount of people - we literally have a mass of people thinking Canada is part of the US's Fentanyl problem and needs to be tariffed (despite fentanyl flowing from the US to canada 10x)

First it was Mexico, then Canada, then China.

Shit - with this economy they’re creating I may need some Fent to sleep through the civil unrest

Don’t wanna fail that’s the worst thing that can happen to fail and become a vegetable. If you fail with a eagle you’re special or very lucky. In all seriousness before I get reported to the Reddit therapists this is a joke. I actually have a surprise tool that will help me later, a second citizenship. It’s not a good one but still.
