When I interviewed former Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, he said that he didn't think Canada's avoidance of travel and alcohol purchases due to the ongoing trade war would be long-term, even though Global News reported Canadians were already cancelling trips to the US for 2027 in April.

Dialing back to the 1990's and the first commercial Glider (4.0) game…
Ward Hartenstein blew my mind when I downloaded his "Hands-Off House" from AOL. You don't touch the controls to play—the house itself takes care of moving the glider along.
