I said a lot of people don't realize that we trade more with Mexico than we do with the entire European Union, all of Europe, including the uk so Mexico is a pretty big deal for them and huge amount of trade for those two countries related to mining, which I didn't know about. Said Canadian companies are the largest foreign investors in Mexico's mining sector, accounting for almost 70% of foreign investment. So a lot going on. Maybe this was a little bit of an eye opener for me, not fully being aware of how much they do together and then obviously with both of them, the vast majority of their exporting coming to the U.S. so, you know, there's hopefully there's an opportunity for level headed discussion as this USMCA thing comes together, which would be good.
