US media hasn't
reported how Canadians cancelled tourism.
The USians have no clue how pissed we

He keeps saying
the US doesn't need anything from Canada.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.
