I guess all these Trumpy trade officials saying that CUSMA/USMCA/T-MEC is not dead, are confirming the opposite.
Since when has any of them told the truth or bargained in good faith?
Free trade with the US

Good riddance.

Trump has declared Antifa a terrorist organization.
This was obviously predictable.
Prediction: this is a pretext to a "reveal" that Antifa is widespread and everywhere. To counter this "national security emergency" DHS will widen ICE's role to national security, usurping or paralleling FBI.

Charlie Kirk was murdered.
Strip away the political, ideological, moral, and philosophical justifications. Remove heated emotion.
His life was ended in violence.
It is wrong.
The murderer must be delt with fairly, in accordance with law.
Otherwise this will end in unimaginable bloodletting.

In the 1930's The Nazis also told the Jews to "self-deport."
Many had nowhere else to.
They ended up in concentration camps. Until the Final Solution, when they were exterminated.
This IS where the USA is headed.

The pro-DST crowd are foaming at the mouth about losing $2-billion annual revemue.
Do the math.
The first round of US Surtax is 25% on $30-billion in trade, $7.5-billion yearly.
There are two more surtax orders, a TRQ on top of that and Surtax on $100-billion+ still pending.
We're way ahead.

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
