Yeah, that counts. Yeah.

Yeah.
An astute observation. I mean, I can give you an example. I had a student this semester from Canada. He was an athlete at the university here. He finished a degree and he told me he would be earning about quadruple what he would be paid for the same job in Toronto.

That's going to become the challenge for Canada as we move forward into the 21st century is creating kind of a competitive enough domestic economy where you can keep the young people there.

Yeah, I mean, I make easily at least twice as much here as I would in Canada, for sure. There's no doubt. But across the board, it is astronomically expensive to live in Canada. Rent is out of control. Food costs are really bad. When you think about why people are boycotting so readily around the tariffs, it's because this is threatening people's very way of existing.

Like food is going to get so expensive. For Canadians, it already has, but it's going to get worse because where do you think we get some of our food from? We don't have southern states like you guys do where things grow differently. A lot of Canada is in ice. And so people are very aware of how bad it already is and how much worse it can still get if we don't work together.

I think we always had different ways of relating to one another, and I think everybody was fine with that. It's like a big play to like really get Americans to understand us or vice versa. I think it was sort of like a quiet acceptance of like, OK, this is how you move. Got it. I think everything happening with the tariffs and with trade is a real education.
