Found this cool map:

https://bbmaps.itu.int/bbmaps/

Canada only has four lines, all of them on it's eastern seaboard; three from Nova Scotia; two connect to the UK and one connects with Ireland. The last one connects Newfoundland to Greenland (then Greenland to Iceland to Denmark) but that's it. I expected Vancouver to have one connecting to Japan but all of that traffic is routed through Seattle.

I think I've bought 3 bottles of alcohol since Trump was elected again and none were American, so yes? I don't think any American alcohol companies noticed, though.
