We live near the border and (before COVID) had Canadian friends we would visit regularly, and they us. It's heartbreaking to think we might never get to see them again.
BTW some of the most hardcore Trump-supporting areas in western WA are right by the border (Trump even did a rally in Lynden). I wonder how Trump supporters there feel about this?
Trudeau stepping out is the best thing to happen on both sides of the border because it eliminates a whole class of ridiculous meme/copy-paste-talking-points.
I never liked the guy, or voted for him, but the level of discussion whenever his name came up was unreasonable and toxic.
