Aaand there you go: Trump’s sudden about-face on the most important Canada-US border crossing came after meeting with the billionaire family that owns the rival bridge.

Canada agreed to pay for the full cost of construction, land acquisition on the US side, and connecting Interstate highway links, AND also isn't charging tolls on the US side of the bridge. This amounts to saying America should be allowed to steal Canadian money.
Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on Trump's bonkers US-Canada bridge tantrum: "There's a valid concern on the part of the president that this bridge was allowed to be built, they didn't necessarily use American content. There's a question as to the proceeds of tolls."

Skirt/kilt with tights is actually quite comfortable and practical, probably better than uniform pants for doing space warrior stuff.
Star Trek literally addressed this nearly 40 years ago with this scene. In quote Riker himself, it's "incredibly outmoded and sexist attitude" to think Klingons can't wear skirts.

I actually think it’s pretty normal and expected for someone starting their own business to work extra hard, but “AI startups” aren’t real businesses, they’re get-rich-quick schemes and that pot is already empty. Don’t waste your life on schemes. Definitely don’t do this on for other guy’s scheme.

He previously said it was "fantastic," now emphasizing he doesn't have "anything to do" with the private deal. #onpoli

There is not a lot Canadians can do about ICE, but we can ask Parliament to investigate Canadian companies doing business with them, like Hootsuite. Call or email your MP - or contact the INDU House committee MPs. Will post link below. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...
