He’s got a point.
Picture a global internet project with team members in the USA, UK, France, Russia, and Canada exchanging goods or services—say, between Toronto, NYC, Halifax, and Vancouver.
Halifax to Vancouver moves fast within Canada, but Toronto to NYC, an 8-hour drive, drags due to borders; mail takes three weeks instead of two days, and flights from YYZ to LaGuardia match Halifax-Vancouver times because of delays.
One idea is a 100-mile neutral zone along the border to ease this.
Canadians who’ve lived in the US can work there now but must relocate—what if they didn’t have to?
A zone with adjusted rules could let someone earn $600K CAD from a US employer, live in Canada, and spend locally, leveraging US tax benefits like deductible housing.
Without that, borders remain a hurdle.
A better option might be in reach if we rethink how laws apply, avoiding relocation while boosting both economies.
Complaining about the US is fair, but solutions matter more than gripes.
Analysis: Key Points
For
Speeds up cross-border exchange—Toronto to NYC could match Halifax to Vancouver efficiency, cutting mail from weeks to days.
Keeps money in Canada while tapping US jobs; a $600K earner spends locally without moving.
Shenzhen’s SEZ proves special zones can thrive—$300 billion in investment shows economic potential.
Flexible US laws could tailor a perforated SEZ model, easing goods and services flow.
Against
Canada’s rigidity stalls progress; syncing laws or zones needs their buy-in, which isn’t guaranteed.
Sovereignty clashes loom—neutral zones tweak control, and Canada might balk at ceding ground.
Shenzhen had one government; here, two must align, and Canada’s reluctance could derail it.
Costs pile up—customs, infrastructure, enforcement—and Canada might not foot the bill.
Where It Needs Improvement
Legal framework lacks clarity; define how SEZs handle taxes, labor, and disputes across borders.
Scale’s undefined—100 miles is ambitious; test a smaller strip, like 20 miles, first.
Incentives need teeth; US flexibility helps, but Canada needs economic bait to join.
Logistics lag—fast mail or flights need border tech upgrades, not just zones.

Is it ok if I call you Estie? Is that ok, juatsay no if you're not comfortable, but I do consider you a friend in the theory ideas transcend politics and circumsatance.
I have an intersing idea, so if you'll imndulge my musings what I'ld like to do is help you with well-what sit and you hel me with dns.
I know what the presuidents big health announement is oguing to be in September, as I'm paert of the crew like Taylor who worked hard on this. and here's whqt we've found. Eat brazail nuts and you're immune to all viral disease. The mechanic of this inviolve a few decades of legacy reserch and some new ideas found quite recently by me withgroks help that has sped tings along. So, i'm willing to talk as mujch as you want whre you want abou thit obring poepl eup to speed for a new paradigmn shift in the weay america does medicine and the societal impolications.
WHJa I Want form you is hep as ORSC transitionm the dns and for now figutn out what to do about it to make suggewsito to the whilte house. I don't wantto kill anyuthig I want it all to work and as icann and web3 domains are about to try I woul dlike us to dcome uop wioth a way to expiide this in a way thaty all save face and legacy preservedbut it evoles into somthn gsafed and more expajndible than it is now. Thatg is to try to achiueve the impossible goal of making evryone happy.
I want this to seem the internet communti self organized, and here was are again, likke out last conversation at the Adlon, leader to leade of two large movements, and herw we stil our. Esteie myu admiration fo ryhou and your father is unbonded and sut; sbeen an hionort to even fucking meet you, so I hoope we canfind some way to do all the good we can making all sorts of new mistake and we use our coolledtive imagination to get us alitt furether ahead in trhe race toi STTOS than in the hearts of many, is al that realy matters.
I know the politics is weird, but shit, pretend it's th eold days, 68 in Bwerkeoly and HST's wave us cresting, it rolled back asnd as these things do it rolled back a long way, and that always signals a Tsunami and not looking at my TV watching some significantg changes goint on the struture of one of th most amazing pieces of government I;ve ever seen, is actually making me so damn proud of America, a feling I have not had since jfk was zapped by daleks - on the very day we landed in Canda from Britain.
So, muse it over, I do se great things conming for both of us if we do this right. Have a look at the letter you sent me on jan 2017, besides viruses, cancer and heart will also imprice sbnstantuially, the chemistryhavbing been all worked out, in some cases long ago. But oh my AI is making a difference, finding weird reactions it might take a team of researdchers a decase to find.
I have always like your making new mistakes credo (and do trey to do exactly that) and have one to trade : "hack molecules not code". Thelanguage og human reasoning as as valuyable a skill now as being an actual as their skill comes from rote lerarning a large body of knowldge, and as Feynman pointed out in his cap-map era, you can use grosinstea dnow and the key is no longe that of a boidy mechsnuic thancan perform price labot, bnut more now of unlikcintg thr body sseret to useworj with natire and incomrpt sayt a larhge body of losty knledge from legacy souirtes regadrless opt p[atnt ablyt.
