U.S. Threat Assessment Doesn’t Mention Canada, Demolishing Another One Of Trump’s Many False Claims Against Canada

Trump Is About to Be Pissed at Tulsi Gabbard’s Canada Admission

Gabbard struggled to defend one of Donald Trump’s main reasons for bullying Canada.

Spenser Fernando - Canada:

The U.S. President is utilizing rampant falsehoods to generate anti-Canadian sentiment in the U.S. and 'justify' his despicable annexation threats.

 It remains imperative to push back against those lies as rapidly as possible. At the present moment, there is very little support in the United States for any kind of aggression toward Canada.

Gabbard said she couldn’t speak to the “specifics” of the threat posed by Canadian fentanyl trafficking.

Heinrich assured her that it accounted for “less than 1 percent” of the fentanyl seized by the U.S. government. “But if you have different information, I would very much welcome that,” he said.

The Trump administration has repeatedly referred to a terrifying 2,000 percent increase in drug trafficking over the U.S.-Canada border in the last year. But the reality is much less thrilling.

In 2023, only two pounds of fentanyl were seized at the northern border, and a total of 43 pounds of fentanyl were seized in 2024, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. As one NBC News reporter pointed out, that’s still “less than a carry-on suitcase.”
