NAFO from the get-go. Also: pensive infrastructure. Landlord to largest colony of Wild Boars in Eastern Canada. Foe of lazy metonymy (as in "Ottawa" for federal government).

An earlier major trade agreement was the 1965 Auto Pact. It paved the way for the interlocked North American economy. Canada can work to find new partners and the U.S. can try to restore manufacturing, but both nations will pay a price.

One was called the Rough Riders, the other was (and is) the Roughriders. This, of course, made it very easy to differentiate.

"Washing" means some deceptive process that makes something bad appear good. Money-laundering is probably the earliest usage.

Peter Hoekstra was born in Groningen, Netherlands, just 8 years after the 2nd Canadian Division liberated the city from its Nazi occupiers. Forty-three Canadians died and 166 were wounded.
Hoekstra needs to show some respect.
