To the editor: I’m very pleased with the Canadians who’ve modified their plans to go to america of America for holidays. Nevertheless, a discount of solely 18% in visits is deplorable (“Canadian snowbirds are nonetheless sad with Trump. And Palm Springs is feeling the nippiness,” Feb. 18).
I’m so ashamed of the Canadians who’re going forward with trip plans to america in any case that the American president has mentioned and finished to our nation and our individuals. This with the complicity of members of his Cupboard and the Republican members of Congress and the Senate.
I, together with the vast majority of different Canadians, acknowledge that it’s not the fault of all Individuals that you’ve a president who’s probably the most unfit chief to occupy the worldwide stage since Adolf Hitler.
However Canadians should stand collectively, united and decided to confront this abomination. If which means struggling private discomfort and inconvenience, so be it. I can solely think about how Individuals would react if handled in an analogous method.
God bless Individuals for what you’re going via and can proceed to undergo within the coming months and years. Nevertheless, please perceive that Canada has been an incredible ally, a pleasant neighbor and a proud member of the North American group of individuals for a lot of, a few years. We deserve higher than this.
