No Canada is arresting on behalf of US. On the contrary, Huawei is building 5g infra for Canada. > Violating sanctions is a criminal offense under U.S. and Canadian law. Just because its legal does not mean there wont be an aggressive re

Absolutely. Though nomad lifestyle isnt really for me. Malta has a cool residency program [1]: pay only $15k/yr + territorial tax and live and work from there. Georgia is a good and cheaper option, a more natural and open country but n
