The U.S. has officially BANNED nearly $1 BILLION worth of Canadian alcohol, dairy and motorcycles, with 50% tariffs on billions more. All because we responded to their tariffs. If there was ever a reason for Canada to find other markets, this is it.

Same story with a friend of mine, who is now actually quite famous. She dropped out after my university refused to discipline the two men who raped her, and made her sit in the same class with her in her specialized major. Her planned entire career path ended immediately.
