The abusers who allowed the Creepy Ones to destroy my life didn't listen and now look at what is going on.
They are ensuring I lose my home and become homeless because they are quite afraid of me leaving to the U.S, getting proper health checked (though since I was not sitting in the same spot for hours I don't seem to have the numbness so I wonder if it is related to my spine), contribute to the U.S success and make a living commensurate with my ability and drive.
Save some of us please even if you have to get creative. Ontario is East Germany and we are losing billions from the U.S by refusing to open up to the world and even other provinces!

For decades, Canada has been the largest foreign buyer of U.S. goods, a point Ottawa and the provinces have stressed in their push to get the Trump administration to lower its tariffs on Canadian goods.
Now Mexico has surpassed Canada to become the U.S.’s top customer.
In recent years, as Mexico steadily closed the gap in buying U.S. stuff, there were occasional months when it actually edged out Canada for the top spot.
But in July and August, Mexico’s imports of U.S. goods soared, topping Canada’s purchases by a combined US$4.9-billion, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
The decline in U.S. exports to Canada is partly owing to Ottawa’s countertariffs on certain U.S. goods, which made them more expensive. All those retaliatory duties were lifted in September.
Consumer boycotts of U.S. products and bans by some provinces of U.S. alcohol are also weighing on demand.
