Washington has spent a year and a half picking on our northern ally. But at one little library on the border, the friendship persisted in the face of it all.
No kidding. The symbolism isn’t lost on those of us who are paying attention to what is going on. Canada is making git easier for Americans with Canadian relatives to become citizens. I wish they would do the same for the rest of us.
Alternatively, I’d vote to make California the 11th province of Canada. Add the rest of the blue states, and Trump would lose every money making states in the US.
I was just in Peru on a remote trek and ran into Canadians on the trail from Alberta. As an American I also felt compelled to apologize immediately, confirm I’m not MAGA. It’s so embarrassing honestly. They also said they knew it wasn’t all Americans and they are very concerned about our future. But when I met locals and they asked where we were from. I point near the border of Canada 😅 Everybody loves Canada.
Which is par for the course for this maladministration. A Mainer with Canadian forebears and many Canadian friends, I qualify for Canadian citizenship but probably am too old to survive the application process.
Lovely story. Thank you, Adam. I live in Michigan, and have always thought of Canada one of our best allies. We went there on our Honeymoon, and on many vacations too. It is beautiful country and so are its citizens. It’s so upsetting that Trump is treating them badly for no good reason. It’s truly despicable and I can’t wait until we get Trump & his entire cabinet out of office.
What a wonderful little story! Yes, this ridiculous demagogue in DC will leave & be replaced by a real citizen of the earth, but in the meantime, friends don’t allow friends to be excluded.
This is so cool. It’s unfortunate that we learn about the library due to our goof ball president but I had never heard of it . Next time I’m in Vermont I will visit. Thank you Adam for sharing this!
Love that story. A symbol of “we the people” will decide.
Trump and his minions never cease to embarrass us.
I think it’s poignant that the Emergency Exit gets you into Canada.🍁

We are better people than Trump wants us to be . . . too bad DonJohn.
Wonderful!! That IS good news! Picking fights with Canada is stupid and absurd!
Picking fights with any country is stupid!
Thank you, Adam. What a lovely story. We all needed a smile today and you supplied it.
Whenever I go to Canada, I apologize for our government’s behavior. They all respond and say they know it’s not all of us.

Treating a country that’s been as friendly to us as Canada. for so many years is illogical, stupid, and insane.

Good news for the rest of us, though, Skepticat -- we need you here! :-)
Thank you for the kind words.

That is good news indeed. On both sides, we have to remember that Washington does not represent all the people.
Thanks. I needed THAT!!!!!!

Thanks Adam. This story made my heart happy. A rare thing these days, at least when thinking about our politics.
It's going to take the next potus a full term to repair the damage to diplomacy. As for the national debt? Fugedd about it! 😔
Great story, Adam! Thank you.
