So in your example, I guess the tariffs don’t apply to Canada? Because the proceeds of tariffs go to the government of the country charging them.

That every store wants you to sign up and have you give them your details.
When I bought a shirt in a department store a couple of years ago and the guy wanted me to give him my email address “to save paper” (yeah right), rather than give me a receipt. It was like we were having a stand off for a while there. I just want to buy a shirt not sign up for ongoing spam!

Had a friend who worked in a pizza store have someone order at pizza with chilli as an ingredient, "how hot do you want it?", customer said "11/10". They were very generous with the chilli flakes. Customer then called back to complain it was too hot!

True but would you prefer weak enforcement or strong enforcement?
Strong enforcement would likely involve the government having better records of your browsing habits.

Consequently, Americans generate the majority of English-language Internet content.

False. Yes, it is larger than any other individual English speaking group but accounts for less than a fifth of the total English speakers.

I wouldn’t have guessed Nigeria is the third largest English speaking group.
