So apparently this is fine but Canadian governments using advertising to share views with Americans about trade is completely inappropriate.

Pre-1900, half the population was still working in fields, & even at peak “good middle class manufacturing jobs” in the 1950s, that was only 25% of employment. On this & so many other issues, our contemporary politics are detached from the reality of actual 🇺🇸 history.
