Time to bomb some random trucks in the USA no?

They're not sending their best

Ever since Trump accused Canada of letting drug smugglers and migrants enter the U.S., and asking Canada to increase border protection, we've been catching more people trying to smuggle shit INSIDE Canada from the U.S. more than the other way around.

That northbound smughling was also happening long before Trump lied about fentynal being smuggled southbound.

[–] phar@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

Of course it was. He said they have been catching more of them.

Wow, 400 pounds of cocaine? I can't believe they found 350 pounds of cocaine in trucks. 300 pounds of cocaine seized is a huge achievement for law enforcement. I'll be these criminals get a harsh sentence for smuggling 250 pounds of cocaine.

I came looking for this comment, thank you for not disappointing.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, I can't believe they got busted with 200 pounds of cocaine. 150 pounds is a lot of cocaine. I wonder how long they'll spend behind bars for smuggling 100 pounds of cocaine.

Canada is going to build a wall. The best wall. A great wall. A wall that will stop this influx of deadly poisonous drugs. And you know what? We're going to make America pay for it.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago

And paint the north side of it black so that scorching hot canadian sun that never shines on it will heat it up so all those filthy american aliens can't climb over! /s

"That's right, Joyce, apparently there were over 100 kilos of cocaine right here in Quahog. And yet my guy can't get dick."

[–] GreyEyedGhost@piefed.ca 14 points 3 weeks ago

Where's the American drug czar and the unrelated retaliatory tariffs?

[–] shittydwarf@piefed.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago

We need a wall

Donald Trump Jr going on vacation?

[–] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

But Donald Jr isn't in Canada ... !
