"Canada has failed to co-operate in curbing the ongoing flood of fentanyl and other illicit drugs, and it has retaliated against the United States for the president's actions to address this unusual and extraordinary threat," says the statement. 

If I remember correctly most of the fentanyl found was heading north to Canada not south to the US.

Reciprocate.

  1. Blink the lights, Doug.
  2. Reciprocate+1
  3. That+1 is permanent until the next regime.
  4. Agree to remove the 'basic tariff' if he does.
  5. That +1 really stays.
  6. Next time Trump rattles his plastic sabre, it's another reciprocation +1 more permanent.

Or

Cut the power by 35%.

I'm hoping for the power cuts, personally.
