As a Canadian who went 200+ times in USA in 25 years, I'll never go there again
I’ve gone tons of times for work but this concerns me.
I used to go to the US every summer as a kid with my grandparents.
Yep, I usually visit friends there once a year but I'm regretfully going to have to change that.
I guess the fentanyl lie has spread to the cops. Another reason to avoid travel to the US
Side note: I’ve seen Cassie and Maggie perform and they’re fantastic, highly recommend them!
Personally, I would interpret this differently. This wasn't a lie, this was gross incompetence. I choose to accept their bullshit at face value and let it play out on its own.
These cops are so stupid and so incapable of completing their job that they either found a positive fentanyl test and were so incompetent as to not find the drugs, or so incompetent as to apply the drug test incorrectly. You can also assume a third option that these officers were on fentanyl and contaminated the test themselves with their own supply.
All three of these options all result in better odds of them being removed from their job than them lying, which is legal for them to do for some reason. And just to be clear my comment isn't about what actually happened, it's about sharing the "correct" narrative the same way they do.
I wish more people would talk about cops in terms of incompetence when they lie.
The lie is Trump claiming we are sending fentanyl south, when all evidence shows that’s not the case.
They’re fentanyl problem isn’t coming from the North.
It’s possible the test was a false positive, those types of tests tend to have high false positive rates.
I honestly don't think they did a test at all. It's legal for cops to lie in this state and they probably did it just to try and scare them. Everyone I've talked to knows that the fentanyl problem is coming from inside the house. And it's been maddening hearing him in his cronies claim otherwise.
At that point, MacDonald said, she was asked: "Which do you prefer? Canada or America?"
They want Canadians to beg to be annexed.
If they ask americans canada is going to be the most common answer.
Just don't go to the US unless you have business.
Man, just don't go to the US, full stop. At this point if my employer asked me to go to the US, I would straight up refuse.
I’m trying to avoid it full stop.
