I just wanted to talk about Roe v Wade and how Canada won't be able to help. Okay well, more good news yeah so some Americans might have heard that you know up here in Canada some politicians or news people are saying oh yeah Americans can come to Canada if they need their abortion care taken care of that isn't exactly accurate. There's a lot of nuance in our laws so as is right now in 1988 there was a court ruling that ties the ability to get an abortion to our Charter of Rights and Freedom so on paper it would be very very difficult to make abortion illegal. So, most likely remain legal in the word which means you know the Prime Minister can get up there and say you know we always respect people's rights to have an abortion and we're one of the few Nations where it's legal to have an abortion at all stages no matter the reason, however...
