Weird. Asking what?

all the typical questions US customs would ask when you re-enter the United States. How long were you in the country, purpose of your visit, do you have any weapons, do you have any drugs, do you have over 10,000 in cash. I wanted to be a smart ass and say no I’m a little short. Could you loan me the difference but thought the better of it.

they had a row of officers and we’re doing four or five vehicles at a time. If they didn’t like the answer, they would waive you to the side over by the duty-free parking lot where they had secondary inspectors.

I guess trying to satisfy Trump’s request to prevent asylum seekers and drug traffickers or whatever from getting into the US (stop them before they cross the bridge).

Feel like that might work a bit better on some cross border native reserves but, ya know…

That is what we decided also.

This is the threat, Trump wants Canada's natural resources, raw minerals etc. and if he can't get them via economic warfare, who's to say he won't try to obtain them via a different kind of warfare...

he wont stop. Tariffs wont work and we wont submit to his wish to be a 51st state. This is going to end so badly for us in any scenario but I believe he will physically invade and we better hope that NATO steps up.

I guess the question would be if US military members are willing to start an incursion against a fellow NATO country and ally. Of course, if the US decides to leave NATO, then all bets are off.

I dont think so, who knows though. When he was toying with the idea of not leaving office 4 years ago, some military higher ups later made comments that his ass was going to be forcibly removed if he didn't. Is this exactly the same thing? No, but I think, would like to think, someone would step up. His rants are that of a madman, insane we are in the position to even discuss this.

Then again we did elect him again, and no one in his party has the balls to stand up to him so who knows....

that is the part that is up in the air. do they uphold what is right or their orders. even in nato they will follow orders I think. thats why Trump removed the old guard to replace with his people.

I am starting to be a conspiracy theorist partly... what if Ford is pulling this on Trumps orders so Trump can use it as an excuse to pass off to his people that its ok to invade us. This is a serious thought for me now considering Fords support for trump in the past. I really do not think our country is as united as they are showing (alberta aside)

Remember when Jimmy Carter divested from his peanut farm to avoid any appearance of conflict of interest?

You'll note the first thing he did was appoint a bunch of yes-men to key positions.
The guardrails are off this time. We really need that big-mac heart attack.

How insulting - what a lying idiot she is.


I would actually be impressed if somebody in the press room actually stood up to her and said, "Well, it's clear that you have no idea how tariffs work and apparently neither does the president". Of course, that would result in press credentials being immediately revoked lol.
