Dear Editor,

Today, the U.S. President has declared economic war on America鈥檚 closest ally. Clearly, he doesn鈥檛 care about anything that Canada has ever done for the United States and all of us 鈥渘ice鈥� Canadians are getting quite tired of the complete disrespect he has shown to our country and its representatives.

I am a proud Canadian and I am proud of our reputation for being a polite, caring and 鈥渘ice鈥� society. 

That said . . . America, do not mistake 鈥渘ice鈥� for 鈥渨eak鈥�.

So, in my most polite Canadian voice, I say this . . . 鈥淢r. President, go f#ck yourself.鈥� Donny, you say you don鈥檛 need Canada. Well, you spoiled little rich kid . . . let鈥檚 see how that works out for ya.

This trade war attack on Canada is going to hurt a lot of people. Due to the size of our country鈥檚 respective populations, most of them are going to be yours.

We don鈥檛 want to be in this spot . . . the one you put us in today . . . but Canada doesn鈥檛 back down to bullies.

As we say in our favourite pastime on the ice . . . GAME ON!
