Trump's blaming Canada is like most of his whiny bluster: just to deflect attention from real causes. If you live anywhere in the US West and Plains, plagued by the ongoing drought, the many wildfires (over 1000 and counting), and the heat dome, you know that climate change is not only real but getting worse. A positive move is like that in California's Central Valley, where much of the Ag land fallowed by lack of water is being turned by farmers into solar fields, helping the state reach its goals for renewable energy and keeping the landowners solvent. But Trump and crew can't stand to hear that, of course.

I'm sure a lot of Canadians wish they could block the verbal pollution coming to Canada via the White House.

We get the Geese from Canada, they get the goose from us.

Thanks for a really wonderful, shareable sized article. I hope to pound on some really vile MAGAs (yes I know that is an oxymoron) with this outstanding piece.

"By the way, our southern border is also maintained by a commission. Its website blares: “Our mission is to protect Americans from exposure to Mexican sewage …”"

What can WE THE PEOPLE do about the sewage in THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE? Better yet, folks, what ARE we the people actually going to do about it? I think the French proletariat had it spot on in the late 1700s.

On the Mexican side of the southern border there ought to be signs blaring - Our mission is to keep American guns from coming across

A long peaceful border. That is our border with Canada UNTIL Trumpism happened. As you said, Edwin, Trump and his Party to "choose to be angary rather than smart." This choice is the ruination of us all. Good grief, indeed. Thanks, Edwin. Take care.

Thank for sharing Canadian/US border history. I appreciate the facts.

Thank you. Canada is our greatest friend. Trump, his family and his oligarchs and corrupt Republicans are our greatest enemies.
