A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican,

"...this gov't is a 7-yr story of a deteriorating rel'ship with businesses that make their own decisions in competitive mkts. But desperate times lead to desperate measures. Suddenly Trudeau & Freeland are willing to trust CEOs. Will wonders never cease." https://paulwells.substack.com/p/chrystia-freelands-invisible-hand?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
