and the paper to make those masks come from a pulp mill on Vancouver Island. Our government is under tremendous stress by Canadians wanting him to stop sending it. Trudeau has said that he is trying to procure a manufacturer in Canada to make the masks and if we do, likely that paper will go to them instead. Trump is fucking up big time.
