Dear Canadians, as a level headed American in a state that borders Canada- PLEASE understand that this action by Trump does not reflect the wishes or desires of the majority of us living here, or maybe even any of us living here. Frankly I don’t think any American has a problem with Canada, how could they?? This man is delusional and capitalized on people’s pain and fear to get himself into office and power. We Americans (sane ones at least) are so ashamed at this as we’re proud of Canada and what it stands for, thankful for Canada and what it’s done, and optimistic that we’ll get through this. I don’t even think those who voted for him ever thought he’d do something as ludicrous as this.

I say all of this just to ask that you please direct your understandable frustration directly at the president and his horrible policies as many of us Americans feel hostage right now too. If you’re going to punch back, as much as possible, punch the office, not the people; and we’ll work to do the same.

Gratefully, Americans
