Any other Canadians working in Silicon Valley feeling troubled by the tariffs being imposed back home? I feel a bit of survivor’s guilt, knowing the economic hardship my friends and family are going to face if this trade war lasts any longer. What are you doing to deal with this situation?

I completely sympathize with the survivors guilt you must be feeling. Really sorry to hear that. If it’s any consolation, I’m mourning and I’m an American. I live near the CA border and know many people affected. Not only that, but I am, in some ways, more culturally similar due to geography. I’m hurting with you guys!! I’m so sorry my government and some of my people have betrayed you.😭💔

I wonder if you come out of "duel" citizenship with only one? Or can they kill each other if they are both the fastest draw in the west?!

I’m a dual citizen working in tech in the US for now because the money is so much better down here, but I do want to move back in a few years. Americans are going to suffer a lot under these idiotic tariffs being imposed by one of the world’s dumbest business men (it takes a special kind of stupid to bankrupt a casino multiple times!), so I don’t expect them to last long, at least not broadly. Trump’s stupidity is actually a blessing in disguised. I’ve never seen Canadians so united and so patriotic.

If this crisis causes Canada to reduce interprovincial trade barriers and develop new export markets, it will be a good thing in the long run. This crisis has shown you can’t rely on 75 percent of your exports going to one country.

Isn't diversity supposed to be strength? Canada needs to find other buyers, a foundation principle of capitalism and a global economy. If they can't find other buyers they need to listen to what their customer is asking for.

I am so happy that we got tariffs as it will make us diversify and make use of natural resources for our benefit.

elon, is that you?

they are feeling sorry for us too - married to a canuck. They can't believe what is happening in the meth lab they live above

This is 100% true. Every single Canadian friend of mine thinks our country is going to crap and they are just watching it implode from afar.

Can someone explain the difference between FB’s Partner Solutions Manager and the Strategic Partner Manager? From an initial recruiter call, it seems the SPM provides the consultative product recs while the PSM onboards the client onto that product and tracks performance to provide actionable recs as needed. Anyone know career growth and salary for these two? I don’t want a sales heavy/only lateral growth role like their client solutions manager roles so these seem like good compromises?
