Canada, as a country, is not serious about collecting enough plasma. In fact, with the exception of Germany, Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and the U.S., no country is serious about collecting enough plasma.

Trump-Style Trade Policy Is Here To Stay
With the inauguration just days away, media and the chattering classes are telling us massive change will be forthcoming. In some respects they are correct; after all, a new party and president will occupy the White House, the makeup of Congress is different and a new cabinet will be sworn in. In short, of course there will be policy changes with a new administration.
