To our Canadian friends please accept our apology because Americans wrongly elected stupid Donald Trump and Republicans will not impeach him

Stupid Donald Trump tariffs are hurting Canadian tourism in the U.S. But let's be honest about the bigger picture. Tariffs are hurting everybody.

Echo opinion published in the Sun Sentinel by the Editorial Board

Canadians aren’t simply staying home because of higher prices caused by Donald Trump's stupid tariffs. Many are deliberately choosing not to spend their vacation dollars in the U.S.  because of how Canada has been treated by the Trump administration: the tariffs, threats, repeated talk of making Canada the “51st state,” and the increasingly hostile rhetoric toward a longtime ally.

Echo letter published in The New York Times: "Something vital is being ignored in the negotiations about tariffs between Canada and the United States — the decades of warm and mutually supportive neighborliness between our countries. I’ll always remember the many Canadians who stepped forward immediately in solidarity after the September 11, 2001, attacks. Before that, their troops fought and died on Normandy’s Juno Beach just as American paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne, including my father, were engaged at Utah Beach.
Canadian travel to the U.S. fell about 25% last year, costing our tourism industry billions of dollars. The decline has continued in 2026 as Canadians choose other destinations. They are spending their money elsewhere," From John Elder in Bristol, Vermont

This should concern Florida especially. Canadians have long been among our most important international visitors. This isn’t simply a tourism problem — it is the economic consequence of alienating people who have traditionally loved coming to America.

If we want Canadian visitors back, lowering tariffs would help. But restoring goodwill and treating Canada as a valued neighbor and ally would help even more. From Andrea Culberson, in Weston, Florida

Extending a sincere apology😢

Canada, please accept our sincere apologies for the behavior of stupid Donald Trump.  I think little Donny failed in the “plays well with others” department and he never developed that emotional skill set. Even though he had 30 dolls, he wanted everyone else’s, too. Thus, he grew up a bully and a sore loser. And when those dolls became real life women, he grabbed them by their private parts, just because he could. I guess it’s all about the power trip.

Canada, please know you are America’s BFF and that is one of the few things most Americans can agree on these days. Please know his insane reign will end one day soon, and we will have a real president again — one who works for the benefit of all Americans and our allies, not just for his own wealth and ego.

I have no idea where this animus to our allies came from. (IOW, it is completely idiotic❗)

The Donald actually had a good idea when pressing NATO allies to contribute their fair share. But his personality defect could not let him take the win, and he had to double down. Your leader’s speech at Davos established what inspirational, moral leadership looks and sounds like. Making Donnie look bad (even though it was his own rambling, self-praising, Greenland poking and general incoherence that made him look like a fool) was the unforgivable sin. Don’t abandon us, Canada. We need you and love you. From Tanya Miller, in Hallandale Beach, Florida
