I think so. I think like a lot of Canadians have a maybe a muddled feeling about what being Canadian is. And I think Canadian identity is invariably so impacted by the U.S. that it's hard to kind of get a clean shot of who we are or what we're about. But I'll tell you what, we are very much defined by not being American.

That is so a part of being Canadian is that like so many people will say like, well, I'm not that. Like whatever being Canadian is, it's not that.

I think to a large extent, I think when I teach my American Revolution class, one of the things that I ask the students, I say, how many countries did the American Revolution create? And they look at me like I'm crazy. And I say, it's actually two. Okay. It creates the United States and it creates British North America, which becomes Canada. Okay.

And I think that's really something that not many people think about. So historically, the thing, the entity, the province, the colony that became the independent nation of Canada was defined as a result of the American Revolution. It was set up. in part by the British as a refuge for loyalists during the Revolutionary War.

And from that point in time has had a substantial anti-American orientation. And what Saatchi said earlier about this manifesting now with boycotts and the energy with which these are being pursued, I mean, we haven't seen this level of anti-American sentiment. I can't recall it in my own lifetime.

And the commitment that's being shown to things like consumer boycotts, tourism boycotts, and you're just seeing with the border crossing numbers that are coming in for the last few months, I mean, it is way, way down. I would not want to be running a tourism-based industry in a U.S. border state this summer. It's going to be ugly.

Yeah, that counts. Yeah.
