This may be an unpopular opinion but we should consider moving the Canada / US border 250km north along the Detroit river. Moving the border north 250km would reduce the amount of cross border trips for the automotive industry negating a lot of the tariff issues. And I don't think the geniuses ruling the US would realize that moving the border north along this stretch would result in Canada gaining over 9000km² of land.

The reason this may be unpopular is because Canada would inherit the Detroit Red Wings.

I don't think the plurality of people agree with your interpretation based on votes (I did not downvote). Perhaps worth examining whether your intent is being understood.

I assume a lot of those down votes are from folks who never clicked the post and didn't realize that Detroit is north of the Detroit river. Maybe I need to work on my delivery, my wife does give me a lot of eye rolls. I still think we need to mock Trump and friends to stop their BS from becoming normalized
