Just announce that Canada, as part of its effort to ramp up border enforcement, will not allow any exceptions to its existing prohibition against the admission of felons.

My third-grader is home on a remote school day and learning about the Oregon Trail. During his first break, we started the game. We made it to "Independence Rock" before class resumed. So far we are down an ox and have had all our clothes stolen. Will we make it? 🗃️

Imagine if millions got their healthcare from unions ?

Thoughts ?
