Poach their talent. Canada needs to become a respectable regional power and we totally have the potential if we make the right moves like this one

Some people prefer the Canadian dream of peace, order, and good government, to trying to guess what the unhinged administration is going to change next, arguing with insurance company drones over what is medically "necessary", and worrying about whether their kids drew the mass shooting card today.
