@The_Sambo97 It's not about the border, Sam. If it were, Trump wouldn't be placing lower tariffs on China, the primary source of precursor chemicals. Plus, Ottawa stepped up with a 1.3B security plan. Trump's now threatening tariffs around the world saying he wants tariffs to generate revenue

@danvinylman Hi Dan, it isn't about fentanyl. If it were, why is Trump threatening lower tariffs on China, the primary source for the precursor chemicals? The US Customs & Border Protection's own site shows fentanyl from Canada is less than 1%. Ottawa responded with a 1.3B security plan.

@cyndilou1327 Actually Cindi, Ottawa put a 1.3B security plan in place & less than 1% of fentanyl going into the US is from Canada. If this were about fentanyl or the border, Trump would target the source. Instead, he's imposing lower tariffs on China where precursor chemicals are coming from.

@heathergroves44 Ottawa put a 1.3billion border security plan in place. If this were about fentanyl as Trump claims why is he threatening lower tariffs on China, the primary source of precursor chemicals? He's threatening tariffs around the world for revenue generation-it was never about fentanyl

@G63006Sage We didn't ask for this, Sage. Trump is now threatening tariffs on countries around the world and saying he wants to use tariffs for revenue generation. This was never about fentanyl or border issues as he claimed. If it were, wouldn’t you want to deal with it at the source?

@CanardBrun This is a targeted approach, sending a message to Donald Trump in states where elected representatives support him. It doesn’t make sense to punish producers in states that aren't supporting this. To end tariffs we need Donald Trump to feel pressure from his allies in red states.

@den282242 Most people in BC get a full or partial Climate Action Tax Credit. We expect that most people who receive the credit will get back more money than they pay in carbon tax. The Carbon Tax is an effective way to encourage transitioning away from fossil fuels & towards clean energy.

@CNDinshorts We're working with provinces to remove trade barriers, support major private-sector projects that can be accelerated through government action, expand international trade relationships and more. We'll continue to stand up for all people in BC including supporting reconciliation.
