5. They make great decorations. I love the look of a room full of books
6. They smell great!

Good point. Sir. The other problem is the size of those markets and their distance. It will not be easy.

Indeed, it is clear that the Canadian economy must diversify to reduce its dependence on the USA. This is a big change and will take longer than most would like.
The most important step is freeing up our natural resources. Carney has ideological barriers to this. So, we'll see.

The idea of change is widely asserted. I'm curious to know what kind of change you want.
