Last weekend on Montreal, I took a guided tour of the Bell Centre, which included a stop at the media room where the post game pressers take place. I asked the guide why they now had a desk on the stage instead of the podium they used to use. The guide pointed to an area behind the curtain and said "The old podium is back there. It was swapped out for a desk because Marty St. Louis looked like a little kid when he tried to stand behind it during press conferences. It was a bad look".

If only Pee-Pee's handlers had that much awareness.

The U.S. waged a trade war against Canada before. Here’s how it ended — The Globe and Mail

The endgame..

In the second half of the 1890s, the Republicans led by Mr. McKinley – who succeeded Mr. Cleveland as president in 1896 – grew increasingly dissatisfied with the economic efficacy of tariffs. By 1901, the former great champion of tariffs had become an advocate of “reciprocity” – what we talk about now as bilateral free trade. He had come to believe that the United States could not expect to expand its industry into foreign markets unless it granted trading partners fair access to its own market.

“We must not repose in fancied security that we can forever sell everything and buy little or nothing,” the president said in a speech at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo in September, 1901.

The next day, McKinley was shot twice in the abdomen during a public meet-and-greet. Eight days later, he was dead.

In other words, even in 1901, Buffalo was a shithole.
