But can we not negotiate a mutually beneficial agreement with both? The EU and BRICS?

I had this album in my Sony Walkman for 6 months straight the summer of '92. The other side of the cassette was Roxy and Elsewhere (Zappa). Was a good time to be 21.

As a fellow Canadian, I'm 100% behind Mike using the platform he had to convey that message. Tons of respect for it.

Yep. Just look at the globe and mail. Today they published a hit piece fomenting Alberta separatism. They are owned by the Thomson family. The richest family in Canada. Surprise surprise.

Did some searching online... In the USA, the average salary for a General Practice Physician (according to salary.com) is $234,090 (USD); according to Indeed it's $218,056 (USD) per year. In Canada, the median annual salary for a General Practitioner (GP) is $227,218 (CAD).

So not exactly at par but probably likely still attractive. When you factor in the political climate, I can see how some may choose to move here.
