Re: “Don’t expect any breaks from Tariff Man,” . The United States’ fentanyl problem is president-elect Donald Trump's to fix, not Canada's; we only make a minuscule contribution to their fentanyl budget. Trump blames Canada for a domestic drug problem that the U.S. government has created. It is unproductive to play the victim and scapegoat others for domestic failures. One must look at the root causes of drug abuse, and take steps to address them.
Even if this new “war on drugs” were successful, restricting access to fentanyl will simply raise the price, causing more harm to those afflicted, driving many more to crime to satisfy their need, and overloading an already stressed prison system. And Trump is now planning to institute large tariffs on imported goods, with the burden falling on the poor and middle class while he hands over the money to the rich through tax breaks.
