Long before those tools get to Canada or find their way around the world, they are making Americans poorer and worse off. 69/

Canada is America's second largest trading partner. Americans are *really good* at buying things from Canada - even things that aren't allowed in the US. Trump wasn't entirely wrong when he accused Canada of flooding the US with drugs - but the drugs Canada sends to the US aren't fent and oxy. 70/

Canada sends the US *insulin* and other cheap drugs that cost 10-100x more in Ripoff America than they do in Canada. If Americans can figure out how to buy cheap generic meds from Canadians *over the USPS*, they will be able to buy disenshittification tools from Canadians *over the internet*. 71/
