Editor,

While there is some amusement value in Trudeau scurrying to Mar-a-Lago, in all probability this will just make the situation worse. As one panellist on CBC said recently, Trudeau would need to reverse all his policies to conciliate Trump's concerns. And there would have to be actual action, not just words. Trudeau's immigration minister last year announced they would be cutting back on student visas; instead this year the number went up by 25 per cent.

While nowhere near the disaster of the southern border, interesting numbers from CBP on illegal migrants caught crossing in the area of just the local Peace Arch border crossing. From 407 in 2022 to 2,407 so far this year. That's the result of Trudeau handing out visas like discount sale flyers. 

So now RCMP are going to be added to bolster CBSA enforcement at the border. You know, if the $71 million Trudeau has spent so far on providing comfortable lives for bureaucrats involved in the comatose gun grab had been spent on border enforcement, we might not be in this position.

And speaking of the gun grab, how does Trudeau's plan to have all those "extremely dangerous weapons of war" returned through Canada Post look now? If Trudeau was competent, we might have had tens of thousands of rifles and shotguns sitting, not just at Canada Post processing centres, but in every local drug store postal counter across the country. Great way to secure those "dangerous" firearms, eh?
