Had to explain this to family yesterday.

Told them I'm positive he will do the right thing, but not for the reasons we want him to.

Pattison is an asshole but is somewhat of a patriot - they ran a bunch of pro-Canada messaging on their digital boards during the 51st state drama. Now excuse me as I go take a shower after defending him in the slightest.
