She was 95.Born in rural Dinwiddie County, Virginia, in 1930, West sought to leave her family farm from the beginning. “I guess I found that a little bit contrary to what I had in my mind of where I wanted to go,” she told the BBC in 2018.

Canada is a NATO…

This is not merely a trade dispute. It is an act of economic warfare against sovereign nations, an unprecedented weaponization of trade…
