Pete Navarro, White House Senior Counselor to the President for Trade and Manufacturing, appeared on Fox News in March and spoke about President Donald Trump‘s tariff threats, including those directed at Canada. Navarro said at the time: “What I want to say to every world leader who gets up in arms when all we’re asking for is fairness, and to have them stop killing our people, is ‘please, listen to us.'”

Navarro said at the time: “What I want to say to every world leader who gets up in arms when all we’re asking for is fairness, and to have them stop killing our people, is ‘please, listen to us.'”

Navarro, who has said repeatedly said that Trump tariffs are levied as a way to pressure countries to do more to stop the flow of fentanyl into the U.S., added, “Canada could do a lot more. Canada has been taken over by Mexican cartels.”

Now with Trump’s attendance at this week’s G7 conference in Canada expecting to largely focus on tariffs and the trade balances between the seven powerful nations, liberal influencer Aaron Rupar is recirculating Navarro’s widely mocked take on the situation in Canada and his alleged exaggerations about the presence of Mexican cartels there.

According to a Government of Canada press release issued in February, Canada is “taking all necessary steps to address fentanyl in Canada; by appointing a fentanyl czar, launching the Canada – U.S. Joint Strike Force, convening a new taskforce to combat money laundering, and investing $1.3 billion to strengthen our border.”

3. I'm really sick of hearing about this "fentanyl crisis". You don't wanna die of it don't take black market pills.

I hope Carney shuts this down quickly.

Ty for sharing.

6. You'd think if that was true, we'd have better Mexican food up here

But alas, even halfway decent Mexican cuisine is extremely hard to find here in BC (and believe me, I’ve looked really hard).

Being a California native, good Mexican food is one of the few things I miss about the US (other than family and friends of course).
