Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday U.S. President Donald Trump will hold off on levying tariffs on Canada for at least 30 days after Canada made a series of commitments to improve security along the border.

The country can let out a collective sigh of relief — at least for now.

To get Trump to shelve his punishing tariffs, Trudeau said Canada is reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel and stepping up its co-ordination with American officials to stop the flow of fentanyl.

    Yea, we don’t know what happened in the phone call.

    True, but it’s weird that Mexico got the exact same deal.

    The important part is that all of us don’t forget what happened.

    You’re totally right. We need to remove barriers to interprovincial trade and start looking for other trading partners. I hear the EU doesn’t buy much of our aluminum. Maybe it’s time for the feds to encourage that kind of export.
