Trump blames Canada on fentanyl deaths

Typically I couldn’t care less where drugs come from. If they want to throw away their lives, that’s their own problem.
Unfortunately fentanyl is dangerous and can cause death to easily to an innocent person.
Regardless where it comes from, I hope we can get it under control.

Unlike most opiates, fentanyl can be lethal with the first use. It only takes a two-milligram dose, similar to 5-7 grains of salt, to cause death for an average size adult.
43 Pounds doesn't sound like much but can do a lot of damage.

Now do how much drugs enter Canada from the US
How is Canada any more negligent than the US for allowing fetanol and illegal immigrants to pour into the USA?
The issue with fentanyl is that the cartels are producing counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl. So people take a pill thinking it’s one thing and instead they get a lethal dose of fentanyl.
She isn't very bright but she has kind of a punchable face. I'm surprised a few of the maganzis, given their propensity for attacking women, haven't taken a swing.
Still keeping up with the micro aggression of calling Trudeau a governor. Trump is keeping his eye on the ball, folks.
He’s nothing if not predictable.
Think they are taking what? It isn't Tylenol they are buying.
Pretty sure the only place you should be getting any pills is from a pharmacy. If pharmacies are lacing pills with fentanyl, we have a major problem.
I would be in favor of US intelligence finding these production facilities and telling the government to eliminate the problem or US special forces will.
Lulz. Unserious people vote for this. What a maroon.
Still, on a scale of things, it's minimal and shouldn't be the cause of a tariff war. A man was busted with 70 pounds of fentanyl in Boston not too long ago. Last year, customs probably had the largest bust ever at the Port of Lukeville, with over 1,000 pounds.
The key word is should. Reality is that not everyone is getting their meds from licensed pharmacies.
From what I’ve read, we have given them no guidance or metrics on measuring how successful (or not) they are in stopping whatever flow Trump is referencing. And therefore how to ratchet back the tariffs.
So basically, Trump’s answer is When I say so.” Which means this is not a serious endeavor.

Everything is by the seat of his ass, or if someone makes him mad, or what he sees on Fox. No vision, no plan.
Okay, so you answered below, but let's be honest, if you are buying Oxy on the street you are already making bad choices. And, if it isn't the Oxy that gets you, something else will soon enough.
It’s insane. Getting in a trade war with Canada is going to put a dent in the fentanyl crisis?
This only makes sense to idiots.
How many people in America, say, two months ago, genuinely believed that Canada was ripping us off and in bed with the cartels and killing Americans with drugs, and it's time for a trade war and effort to make them the 51st state? If that was an SNL sketch in January, it would be mocked for being so incredibly stupid and impossible. But here we are.
I would love to know what data will be used to determine when Canada has reached its required level of compliance so that the tariffs can be lifted.
This is next-level stupid.
Did Canada block one of Trump's golf courses or something? I don't get why he hates them so much.
It's been nearly ten years - and I'm not sure what the right description is for what I feel each time - but Trump's approach to capitalization is something, and should have been disqualifying.
Trump caught wind of rumors that Melania was bragging about the size of Justin’s penis.
Apparently, Justin Trudeau knows so much about large penis sizes that even Arnold Palmer is impressed.
There was a popular story the other day in the NYT that offered up three ideas:
- Hotel ventures that went bust. Both were licensed to use the Trump brand.
- Picture of Trudeau that looked like he was about to kiss Melania (below)
- Transactional nature of Trump, acquiring Canada as 51st state and its minerals would be the ultimate real estate deal
Leavitt might be the best liar yet in the two Trump administrations.
And that's a REALLY high bar to clear!

So they get what they get, then? Be careful talking like that. People might start mistaking you for a Republican.
You're right, if you can't trust junkies and drug dealers to follow proper manufacturing and labeling practices, who can you trust these days?
Desperate people make desperate choices. If someone is suffering from chronic debilitating pain and doesn’t have access to licensed meds for whatever reason, they’re going to take what they can get.
The ironic thing about the “just let ‘em die” stance is that many of the same people espousing that point of view also think we should just legalize everything.
Karoline is a fat mouthed, lying liar, just like her boss.
She states last year there was a 2,000% increase in fentanyl (whatever that means). By what measure or metric is this statistic derived? According to the DEA seizures of fentanyl in 2024 declined from ~27,000 pounds to ~21,900 pounds, a 19% decrease year over year. She's claiming it increased by a factor of 20. Such an obvious lie to anyone paying attention.
Furthermore, in 2024 the US experienced the first decline in drug overdose deaths since 2018 with a 14.5% decrease in deaths from June 2023 to June 2024.
If these journalists were doing their jobs, they would be pressing insolent Barbie for her sources of these statistical fantasies.

This doesn't have one damn thing to do with fentanyl. It's all about Trump trying to swing his little mushroom around at someone he sees as weak.
He has no plan.
