* The US does not “subsidize” Canada. We trade.
* A trade deficit is neither good nor bad.
* The US and Canadian economies are integrated because it benefits both countries.
* A trade war would hurt consumers on both sides of the border.

Reports and videos show ICE agents asking American citizens whether they’ve “learned their lesson over the last few days” are deeply troubling. Language like this implies intent and raises serious questions about premeditation and mindset on the scene.

Her vehicle's right front panel cleared the ICE agent who didn't open fire until after he was at the side of her vehicle. He used deadly force on a fleeing individual, which is against DHS policy. This is murder. He needs to be arrested.

This is not a trade war, this an act of war against Canada: Trump is saying that if Canada does not agree to be occupied by US, US will cut them off, crush them economically into submission.
