Mexico sending 10000 national guard troops to the border. Canada doesn’t have 10000 national guard troops. lol.

Hopefully they help stop the flow of guns from America that are killing everyday Mexicans

How does the flow of guns from the US to Mexico work?published at 16:39

Bernd Debusmann Jr
Reporting from the White House

Part of the temporary deal just announced by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is that the US will work to stop the flow of firearms south into Mexico - a long-running issue that has been a focus for the Mexican government.

Mexican authorities allege that tens of thousands of US-manufactured guns are trafficked south across the border each year, providing drug cartels with easy access to massive arsenals used to fight each other and the Mexican government.

Some estimates put the total at over half a million weapons each year.

In Mexico, it's extremely difficult to purchase a gun.

Mexico is home to exactly one gun shop, a fortress-like structure in a Mexico City military complex that requires buyers to provide mountains of paperwork and submit to exhaustive background checks that can take months.

Extremely restrictive gun laws require guns to be registered with the federal government and limits their type and calibre.

But north of the border, getting a gun is far easier. Mexican officials believe that a large portion of southern-bound weapons are bought legally by 'straw buyers', who then unlawfully pass them on to criminals.

In other cases, guns are bought "off paper" from private vendors at gun shows in states such as Texas or Arizona, circumventing background checks.

In 2021, Mexico filed a $10bn lawsuit against US gun manufacturers over the flow.

More coke and heroin come into Canada from the US than Fentanyl going the other way. Make them up their border presence as well.

Now Trump says he wants all of Ukraines rare earth minerals for further support.

That’s all this guys wants is to take everything from everywhere. Canada, Greenland, Ukraine, Mexico. Trying to bully his way to getting resources. (frank) him.

Where is he going to get 10k people?

I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border.
 
In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada- U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million.
 
Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together.

Scott Moe of Saskatchewan had a plan last year that will probably be implemented to appease Trump. It’s actually a very smart plan.

Moe’s plan was to bring the Canadian Border Services Agency under the wing of the Canadian Military. If that happened it would allow a large number of personnel to be transferred to the border without having to expand border services directly and more importantly it would also address military spending requests from NATO to meet a minimum of two per cent.

It’s a great plan and should have been implemented last year. I guess that’s the pitch that JT made to Trump and Trump bit. So, Trump gets to look good but in reality it’s a win for Canada.

It’s not hard to work with Trump. Intelligence is his administration’s kryptonite.

I think it's time to start having gametime threads to converse without 15 hysterical posts a page from NH about 1 player. It sucks to have to avoid NYN's threads during gams but NH is draining any kind of enjoyment out of the main thread. There's a long history of things getting heated between people and railroading the thread but there's always cooling down. NH has been on this Petey roll since Nov last year and even people who want Petey gone have been sick of it since last season.

NH doesnt go in the forums so I'll test a thread for the next game. Treat it like a live game thread.... people will continue to share opinions(pro and con) about Petey but it won't be mega spammed by that freak.

Good for Claudia, the truth! Trudeau or Poilievre wouldn't have the balls to tell Trump something like that!

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum hits back hard at Donald Trump with a dire warning after he announces his disastrous tariffs — and breaks down exactly how idiotic his idea is.
This is what a real leader sounds like...
"Seventy percent of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs," she wrote in a letter to Trump which she read at a press conference.
"Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours," she added.
"One tariff will follow another and so on, until we put our common businesses at risk," she correctly predicted. Trump's suggestion that he will implement a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada is utterly moronic and will only succeed at skyrocketing prices.
"I am convinced that North America’s economic strength lies in maintaining our trade partnership. This allows us to remain competitive against other economic blocs," she continued.
"For this reason, I believe that dialogue is the best path to understanding, peace, and prosperity for our nations. I hope our teams can meet soon to continue building joint solutions," Sheinbaum added.

Like I said; Trudeau should point back at them. Trump whining about 43 pounds of fentanyl going into his country from Canada. How many tens of thousands of pounds of coke, heroin, meth, guns etc come into Canada from the USA? Secure your own border idiots!

Anyone see the press conference Trump held in the Oval Office with Rupert Murdoch and Larry Ellison? lol.
Sits there going on about how great they are etc.
a few minutes later a reporter asks him about the front page headline in the Wall Street journal “The Stupidest Trade War in History” ( which Murdoch owns). Immediately shoots a look over at Murdoch. If looks could kill…he said they’d have to have a discussion about that.
