The U.K. is finally leaving the EU more than 3 1/2 years after voters narrowly opted for Brexit in a June 2016 referendum – and after many rounds of political wrangling

After years of negotiations between the British government and the EU, U.K. lawmakers repeatedly defeated attempts by both Johnson and predecessor Theresa May to finalize the departure terms with the other 27 nations of the bloc.

Despite Johnson’s repeated promise to “get Brexit done” on Jan. 31, the day of departure only marks the start of the first stage of the country’s EU exit. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in the Swiss ski resort of Davos, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said a deal with Britain was “an absolute priority of President Trump and we expect to complete that within this year.”

“Both are very heavily services oriented and within services, such as financial services there’s already a pretty high degree of integration and co-ordination so it should be much easier mechanically,” he said in Davos.

Parents call for change to citizenship law that treats adopted children like 'second-class citizens'Adoptive families are calling for the removal of a law they claim creates a second class of citizenship for children who become Canadians abroad. Parents knew the choices. Parents chose the easy route. Now Parents want to whine about it to the media because they regret that they took the easy way out. This is what the millennial mentality has left us with. Instant gratification, followed by failure, then demanding more. This picture is the real definition of racism.
