      I think both countries are going to have a lot of job losses because of this. It’s never the idiot leaders who suffer, it’s everyone else.

      I’m not sure how well I’m going to be sleeping anymore. Oh well.

        I haven’t slept well in months. I’m confident in my ability to make it to Canada when (not if) I need to. But at this point they’re forcing our hand. When there’s no hope, there’s nothing left to lose.
