Some Canucks are angry at the aggression showed toward us by your national spokesman.

I’m sorry they’re representing us so poorly, as they should be better reflecting the lasting hurt from perceived treachery by a friendly nation in a way that’s more informative and less pithy. But this is where we are.

Remember, too, that our global representative isn’t perfect, but we narrowly missed getting our own absolutely incapable and inappropriate provincialist caricature of leadership, ourselves. I think there’s something in there, too.

Thanks for understanding. I think this is gonna get more stressful before it gets better, so I’m doubly worried if you’re near a border in a town normally enriched by tourism proceeds.
