It’s a cool story but one only has to go to Statistics Canada/Agri-food Canada to see exactly how much US milk is imported into Canada. Hint: it is substantially more than none.

> you have never been able to buy American milk in canada. That’s not really true. The US has 5% of the quota, tarrif free. Which they don’t even fully use. But, to be sure, it does get used. You absolutely can buy American milk produc

An exception is a data structure, usually comprised of a stack trace and some kind of related data, so that's true. panic produces an exception, though, just like throw, raise, etc. as found in some other popular languages do.
