Justin lied to Trump about resources he doesn't have to put towards securing the border, and all to drag this out some more.
But, still, Justin got humiliated, so it's something:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the announcement on social media on Monday afternoon shortly after his second phone call of the day with U.S. President Donald Trump.
“I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border,” he wrote.
Trudeau added that Canada will also be making new commitments to appoint a “fentanyl czar”; to list drug cartels as terrorists; and to launch a Canada-U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering — promises he said will cost $200 million. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith had been calling on the federal government to appoint a “border czar” to appease the U.S. administration.
“Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together,” Trudeau added.
While you stall, you mean.
Trump needs to stand over Justin's shoulder each week.
For Justin is a known liar and his words mean nothing. Power means everything.
Meanwhile in "Team Canada" land:
Ontario liquor stores were busy Monday morning, with a steady stream of customers seeking to buy American bourbon and California wines, expecting all U.S. liquor was to be pulled from the shelves in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

On what was expected to be the eve of a massive trade war with the United States, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called for Canada to drop longstanding trade barriers between provinces to lessen the impact of American trade uncertainties.
