“Restore merit, end DEI” says man who could only get elected in Canada’s safest Conservative stronghold

Just got an e-mail from Google telling me that they will change my region from “Canada” to “United States — Oregon” in 30 days, unless I change it back. They seem to be taking Trump’s annexation threats a little too seriously.
