The Globe and Mail has done tremendous work investigating false claims about fentanyl seizures on Canada's border.
That 43 pounds of fentanyl that was the Trump administration's legal justification for imposing tariffs on Canada?
Just 0.74 pounds – or 0.13% – has been positively attributed to Canada, according to new data obtained by The Globe's Kathryn Blaze Baum:

Yesterday, Michael Waltz claimed that he’s “never met, don’t know, never communicated with” Jeffrey Goldberg.
Here’s a photo of Waltz standing next to Goldberg during a 2021 event at the French Embassy.
The event Waltz attended—a Q&A with a French filmmaker—was moderated by Goldberg.

1. Tulsi Gabbard was overseas while participating in the Signal chat.
2. Steven Witkoff was in Russia when he was added to the Signal chat.
3. Russia infiltrated Signal some time ago to use it against Ukrainians.
It’s high time to Benghazi the shit out of Trump’s administration.

I urge my American friends to watch what I think was Prime Minister Trudeau's best speech ever. As he said afterward, Canadians are “perplexed why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us instead of so many other challenging parts of the world."
