Why some Canadians are choosing Trump over their country
Laura Rose O'Connor is a freelance writer from Canada, now living in London. While getting my Ontario driver's license in 2023, I was asked to write a description of the vehicle and then wait in my car for the examiner to find me. I had to use my mother's car, so, red-faced, I wrote 'Chevy SUV, 'WWG1WGA' bumper sticker.'
