Canada is more than a government. It is a people, a flag, a land, a history and a promise.
It all means that we have more room to travel, more room to breathe, more room to trade, more room to grow than we would have if we were isolated and alone.
We have a 200-year-old relationship. There's always going to be grievances on both sides of the border.
I don’t know why we would be sending Canadian tax dollars from people who can’t afford to pay their bills to a dictatorial, terrorist regime like that.
