I would throw a dart at the globe and go anywhere except the USA. Over 30,000 gun deaths each year and they do not give a fuck. No universal health care, women’s rights trampled on, lgbtq rights under attack, and a delusional lunatic for a leader. If that’s great I’ll take miserable any day!!

Who asked you, JD Vance?
Vice-President Vance, your unsolicited advice on Canadian immigration policy isn't wanted. Best thing Canada can do is shut out the noise from meddlesome US political leaders.

Plus, I don't see why helping greenhouses produce more food right across the country, including up north, isn't considered a project of national interest. If we don't have to rely on the US for fresh food, we'll all be healthier in so many different ways.
