Trump... Canada trade talks ‘terminated’ We are Brothers and Sisters

I hope Trump understands our peoples, the intertwined history of Canada and the United States of America. For more than 300 years, we have grown together on North America, sharing not just a border but a story, a story of survival, of cooperation and love for one another, of nations built with Indigenous peoples and immigrates. Our histories are somewhat separate peoples and cultural threads; but they are bound by rivers, trade routes, migrations, protecting each other during migrations, wars, and dreams. We both LOVE each other, no matter ideology. Historically, Canadians have died for Americans, and Americans have died for Canadians.

When Trump speaks of tariffs and trade wars, power, and greatness, he speaks as though history began with the rise of nations, not with the people who lived here for millennia before them.

President Trump and the First Lady understand that our strength has always come from our close relationships, between peoples, between communities, between the land and those who care for it. Our history of North America is not domination or isolation, but we work in coexistence with our brothers and sisters of America. My parents were American, many of my family are both American and Canadian and European, and we want the best for our nations, our brothers and sisters, our history.

We have always grown together, sometimes in conflict, sometimes in hope, always tied to land and Love of Our Neighbour, our brothers and sisters.
