Dear @MarkJCarney First off, I just want to say thanks. The world has thrown itself into disarray, but Canada can rely on you to stay levelheaded, and exemplify all that it is to be Canadian on the world stage. What I really want to say, though, is that you’re absolutely right to stand up to Trump. There is a game being played, and any scholar who looks at the past of this “businessman” can see the same blueprint he has always followed: he doesn’t know shit, but he talks over the people who do, threatens, cajoles, and prattles on until people will literally do what he says just to shut him up. That’s all this is. I don’t care anymore. If the US wants to call it Lake America, let them. If they want to keep going on about 51 states, let them. They can insult, jeer, rail, blame, and generalize us… let them. It’s all the posturing of a witless bully, and everyone knows it. All that America will have left when he’s gone is decades of hardship… and that’s the real tragedy. He can waste his energy and taxpayers money waging futile wars of ineloquent words and fruitless actions, but the truth remains the same: he will never have our respect, he will never have Lake Ontario, he will never have Canada, he will never have The Gulf of Mexico, he will never have Greenland, and he will never have the United States of America. All he will have is the title of “The worst President in US History” and he’ll take that to his grave. Thank you for being our first line of defence, and our last spoken word in solidarity - you’re doing a difficult job in an incredible way. Keep your stick on the ice.
