We are lucky too. I’ve driven across a fair part of Washington, Oregon, Idaho in my youth. The friendliness of people always struck me. Places like Mississippi and Utah introduced me to cultures, histories and ideas so different than those I grew up with in Ontario and B.C. Seattle and LA are such diverse cities and make Vancouver the big city I grew up in look small. Manhattan and New York together feel like every-bodies idea of a city made real. Our family went to Disney world, Florida on a Make - a - Wish trip a few years back — I was a bit cynical; but the wonder in our twins eyes dissolved that. I love all these unique corners of the US — so much I have not seen of USA still on my bucket list: Boston, New Orleans, Alaska. And I am sure many Americans who have travelled to Canada feel the same way. Each Canadian Province is so distinct in character. But for each of us — Canuck or American — home is the community and land, and history we grew up in. Our nations are intertwined; mutually supportive ; with great history together. The longest peaceful border in the world speaks to the past and future trust between our nations; grounded in individual friendships and extended family.

Seattle here! I love visiting Canada. I've been to British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec. Beautiful country and Beautiful people! If I could, I would move there! I love the values of the Canadian citizens. I will never support Trump or MAGA threatening your country. I will always be an ally of Canada!

I pray we can keep it that way, and get rid of that hideous and irrelevant wall and the ugly mile-wide bulldozed road that substitutes for the wall in places.
