          Police say a 'record number' of drugs, chemicals and firearms have been seized in B.C., worth upwards of $485 million in profit.


          used to drive through that town. the mexican cartels do actually setup large operations there. Meth was and is a big problem in Alberta. I'm not even being partisan here. I don't like drugs and terrorists and i don't think any amount is acceptable.

                The threat of U.S. tariffs has some Canadians taking their money elsewhere

                From grocery lists to grad school, families say they're changing their plans

                Sand Northrup was huddled up at a friend's home in snowy Gibsons, B.C., on Saturday night when they got word the U.S. would follow through with crushing tariffs on Canadian goods. Over a game of cribbage, they hatched plans to personally respond however they could — already sipping beer from a local Sunshine Coast brewery instead of a bottle of California red.

                "It was very much like, 'There we go. There it is. Now we've got to engage. What are we going to do?" said Northrup, 67, in a call from East Vancouver on Monday.

                "And until this stuff changes, we've got to put our money where our mouths are."

                A number of Canadians who spoke to CBC News said they felt disrespected and betrayed by the threat to their economy, especially since it came from a longtime ally on trade. They are resolutely pushing back by keeping whatever personal cash they can spare away from the U.S. — from making little adjustments to grocery bills and subscriptions to cancelling travel plans and reconsidering where to apply for grad school.

                They said a last-minute deal to temporarily postpone the tariffs didn't change their minds because their sentiment is the same: Interfere with the economy after years of free trade and we'll be taking our business elsewhere.

                'Hostile message'


                Canadians have known for weeks that tariffs were on the horizon. U.S. President Donald Trump had said he would impose tariffs of 25 per cent against Canada and Mexico on his first day in office over what he described as inaction on illegal drugs and migrants entering the U.S.

                He delivered instead with executive orders on Saturday, setting the stage for tariffs to come into effect just after midnight on Tuesday.

                The tariffs and a likely trade war were averted, at least temporarily, after Trump and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau struck a last-minute deal to postpone the tariffs until March. It was welcome news for the anxious global economy but, for many, trust in the U.S. had already been lost.

                Emboldened Canadians have been swapping shopping tips on Reddit, cheering those who said they'd cancelled Netflix subscriptions or vacations to Disney World in Florida. A number said they were, if nothing else, glad to see the country seemingly united for a common cause across party lines.

                Daniel Miksha, 22, was following the news closely over the weekend. Ever since the presidential election in November, he'd been reconsidering whether to apply to master's programs at his three top schools: Harvard, Yale and Boston University.

                He decided against all three — and against any other school in the United States.

                "Seeing that kind of hostile message toward Canada and just the general souring of the political environment [in the U.S.] makes me think that that's not a place I want to settle down and try to raise a family," said Miksha, who is from Calgary and finishing his undergraduate degree at McGill University.

                  After a phone call with President Donald Trump on Monday afternoon, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that Canada will immediately enhance “coordination” with the U.S. and send 10,000 troops to the U.S./Canada border. Canada’s change in policy comes after Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico, along with a 10% tariff on ...

                      The only new thing announced is a fentanyl Czar. Whatever that is. Everything else was announced in December of 2024.
                      The only knee that bent was trumpy's. Again!!
                      As I have previously stated. Trumpy is easily manipulated. He certainly ain't no alpha. Hahahaha
                      And he also is helping quicken reduction of the dependence on US trade. Thank you trumpy!!!

                        I don't see the point of trivializing hundreds of people on the terror watchlist trying to cross the border. No system will be perfect i'm not expecting it to do anything but improve from more funding.
