Summary

Tensions between Mexico and Canada have escalated amid Trump’s threat to impose 25% tariffs on both nations.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum criticized Canada’s handling of border issues and claimed Canada “could only wish” for Mexico’s cultural riches, intensifying the feud.

Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sought to highlight Canada’s border management compared to Mexico’s, while Mexican officials accused Canada of using Mexico as a political scapegoat.

Both nations continue efforts to persuade Trump to reverse the tariffs. Diplomatic relations remain strained as the dispute unfolds.

    Just like most descendents of slaves in America have “some” white DNA, it just wasn’t by choice.

    That there was widespread rape…

    Sorry, are these your arguments that Spanish colonialism wasn’t a genocidal settler colonial project like other colonies in the Americas? Because you’re doing a pretty poor job if so.

      You’re saying the descendants of rape victims who have a tiny percentage of colonizer DNA (as a result of those rapes generations ago) are as bad as the descendents of colonizers that have zero indenginus ancestry…

      And I’m honestly at a loss of words right now on how I can make it any simpler.

        Are you trying to say that trying to eliminate cultures via rape (but also murder, lets not act like none of that happened) means we can’t label Mexico as a settler colonial state? Is Spanish spoken by nearly everyone as just some sort of historical accident?
