View submission: Canada's Trudeau announces counter tariffs
What do you mean reasons that no one is entirely clear with? It’s to prevent illegal immigration and stop fentanyl. The Canadian government hasn’t done anything to limit Chinese influence in their country either.

I mean what i said. A 25% blanket tariff to stop "Illegal immigration and fentanyl" from *Canada* makes close to no sense and Canada has been stonewalled when asking what the US exactly wants them to do. Because no one seems to be able to provide a clear explanation on it.
Just because the trump admin threw out that reasoning to make it fall under "national security" (and thus give him the ability to do it) doesn't make it so. Especially since no one has provided a clear explanation as to what it means/ what needs to be done.
The Canadian government hasn’t done anything to limit Chinese influence in their country either.
And I'm sure their "closest" ally deciding to launch a trade war against them will definitely move them away from Chinese influence.
