The Canadian government has insisted that information on domestic goods is readily available to all trading partners, even including nations that recently elected a felony-convicted game show host to be their head of state. Instead, the United States has decided to employ a rarely-chosen trade tactic that international economists refer to as the “fuck around and find out” model.

I'm talking about America as a country, not you as an individual. I understand your frustration - I went through Brexit as someone who voted to remain and very definitely didn't vote for a government that chose Boris Johnson as a leader.

I understand. There's definitely a lot of frustration.

It never ceases to disappoint me that people could look at Boris fucken Johnson or Donald duck and think "yup, that's da fella I want to lead us".
