As Trump's war on DEI raged, Shopify laid off teams that supported Black and Indigenous entrepreneurs and shut down initiatives that supported similar work internally.

And founders can’t be choosers if investment isn’t Canadian because the funds ultimately prop up the Canadian economy, say Tailscale and Clio CEOs.

New: U.S. border officers are now making more seizures of eggs than fentanyl.

Since October, officers have made 3,768 seizures of bird and poultry-related products, compared to 352 fentanyl seizures.

U.S. egg hunters are now a common sight at border grocery stores.

thelogic.co/news/canada-...
OTTAWA and NIAGARA FALLS — United States customs officers are making more seizures of poultry products, including eggs, than fentanyl, according to an analysis of official data by The Logic. The U.S. has reported a 36 per cent jump in people trying to bring eggs into the country illegally since October, compared to the same period last year, as avian flu drives up costs. At the northern border with Canada, U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Detroit field office also recorded a 36 per cent increase during the same period. The San Diego field office, close to the border with Tijuana, Mexico, saw the number of egg seizures fly up 158 per cent.

Trump's trade war against Canada would destroy the Big Mac.

Fun fact: the US relies on Canada for almost all of its potash fertilizer. And that fertilizer is used to grow... everything.

The world's other big potash producers? Russia, Belarus, China, and Israel.
