And yet, through all the greed, delusion, and dysfunction, Canada and Mexico remind us of what actually matters: helping each other. Their actions speak louder than any billionaire’s megaphone or MAGA’s fever dreams.

They showed up. They saved lives. They did what needed to be done without asking for thanks or applause. That’s what being a hero is all about.

Thank you, Canada and Mexico. You are wonderful and good people. May your example inspire us all to be better.
