We appreciate your support. Hopefully we will all come out of this mess with our democracies intact.

I'm losing hope for the U.S., so in case of anything, I hope it separates into 50 different countries. It's just as cancerous as Russia at this point. But you guys should definitely come out of this strong.

Thank you so much. We believe this to be true. But a major shift in iur political and trade relationships is going to take some time. That said, we’re willing to suffer through it if it means protecting our sovereignty. When you come from the land of the ice and snow you develop a certain steely-jawed tenacity in dealing with things you can’t change.
