    The Canadian Broadcastingg Corporation's Darren Major on whether
    Donald Trump regrets including the TN visa with his NAFTA 2.0 treaty
    with Justin Trudeau: <URL:https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/h-1b-program-canada-applications-full-1.6910448>
    | The program is a response to massive layoffs in the U.S. tech
    | industry. Since last summer, hundreds of thousands of workers have
    | been laid off from such major firms as Google, Microsoft and Amazon.
    |
    | Fraser said he was watching the situation in the U.S. and saw it as
    | an "opportunity" for Canada when he first announced the program.
    |
    | The program filled up at such a rapid pace that it drew the
    | attention of Twitter owner Elon Musk. Replying to a tweet from a
    | Twitter user flagging that the program was full, Musk responded with
    | a "Wow."

    Does Susie Wiles worry that Miriam Adelson, Ken Griffin, Lachlan
    Murdoch and David Sacks will permit Ron DeSantis to invite the likes
    of Mike Emmons onto their campaign stage to stump for an immigration moratorium?

    "It's so funny. You're already seeing influencers do damage control.
    But the truth is Trump is going on CNN because he won't have to
    debate challengers and they'll give him a platform to attack
    DeSantis from the left if he wants to because Trump is at heart a
    liberal, like CNN." - Pedro Gonzalez <URL:https://twitter.com/emeriticus/status/1653249902003068928>
