    see San Jose Mercury News' Ethan Baron on whether Donald Trump regrets including the TN visa in his NAFTA 2.0 treaty with Andres Manuel Lopez
    Obrador and Justin Trudeau: <URL:https://www.mercurynews.com/2023/06/28/h-1b-visa-canada-launches-new-bid-to-poach-skilled-tech-workers-from-u-s/>
    | For H-1B workers, uncertainties around their ability to continue to
    | live and work long-term in the U.S. were exacerbated by attempts by
    | the administration of former President Donald Trump to limit the use
    | of the visa, and promises by his administration to strip work
    | authorization from the spouses of H-1B holders.
    |
    | Canada has been pouring billions of dollars into a push for a "clean
    | economy" to address climate change and diversify its economy, as it
    | also seeks to expand its technology industry.
    |
    | The country's overt efforts to persuade Silicon Valley H-1B workers
    | to abandon the U.S. and head northward date back to a decade ago,
    | when the Canadian government paid for a billboard beside Highway 101
    | that said, "H-1B problems? Pivot to Canada."

    How large is Trudeau's re-export market of scab workers poached from
    the two quintiles of shithole countries?
