7. Yes we used to be such good neighbours. We know it is not

most of you and Americans would be polite but it is terrifying to think of being in the US in these times. I've been to Boston twice as an young adult. Loved it both times. Found Americans so outgoing and fun. I hope some day soon we get relief from our troubles and we can be great neighbours again.

PS It was really sweet to see the crowd in Buffalo sing/finish the Canadian anthem when the microphone failed at a hockey game last week. It gave me good goosebumps.
