Welp… Medical tourism to Canada, I guess.

Interesting. Do I believe this? *Mmmmaybe?*

«So, at the most fundamental level, large majorities are rejecting both the Trump-Miller ethnonationalist reengineering of the country and their effort to choke off all humanitarian pathways for settling here. Such public sentiments seem very much at odds with diagnoses of a durable Trumpist-nationalist moment.»
