Yep. If anything the EU is now the greatest.
The US had a mental break years ago when Bush tried to blow the crap out of the middle east.

I don't know about that either, considering the internal discontent and tensions in EU and how some of the member states (and ex-member states) are behaving (e.g. Orban's Hungary, Law and Justice's Poland, Five Star's - or whoever it is today's Italy).

Good point but it is still better than the US.

While I wouldn't consider the EU to be the greatest... a lot of member states aren't exactly doing great.
However, there is an argument to be made that Angela Merkel is the true leader of the free world right now.

As expected, no treaty with Trump is worth the paper it's printed on:

And, Trump has decided to go to the well on immigrants again.
This time though, H1B VISA holders and other work permits.
May also effect many grad students/academia.

I strongly suspect this one will die in the U.S. Court system as well.
But if Canada (the Federal gov't) and our regulatory professional bodies are on the ball (one can hope) this could offer a real opportunity for us.

The move is fiercely opposed by business leaders, who say it will block their ability to recruit critically needed workers from countries overseas.

Yup, especially in tech.

Pretty sure that's the key part here.
This is a huge opportunity for Canada to attract some of the arguably most valuable immigrants in the world right now.

With the current work from home situation, they could have employees working from their home overseas right now. Only problem would be the time zones.

Here's hoping Shopify isn't poaching immigrants with very racist views against other immigrant groups (yes, these types of anti-immigrant immigrants exist).Well, Shopify is wasting no time seeing who they can poach!
