Canada is the only foreign country I have ever visited and likely the only one I ever will visit. The movement at the time between the U.S. and Canada was seamless, painless and built on decades of trust and good will. Now that's been sundered by the power-mad ravings of an ignorant celebrity and wannabe Caesar.
I live in Kentucky renowned for horse racing and bourbon. I don't know about the horse racing, but I pretty much know the booze ain't welcome up North. Sweet Potato Hitler has seen to that with his ridiculous tariffs and moronic screeds about making Canada the fifty-first state. The former is utterly destructive to both countries, and the latter is sheer lunacy.
I want things to be like they were before, but it's clear that even after this ridiculous leader has faded into the West they won't be. Like any relationship, when one strikes another, the victim might forgive in time but will forever and for all time remember the blow. And they should.
O Canada, I wish it weren't so.

If only the British government had the guts to stand up to Trump but they've decided to grovel instead. They are currently trying to negotiate a trade deal with America and our Prime-Minister Keir Starmer has said he likes and respects Trump. They have also offered Trump a State Visit to the UK which is normally never offered to second-term US presidents. It's so pathetic but the UK is weak and friendless outside the European Union so Starmer probably feels he has no choice if he wants to avoid Trump's tariffs.
