Letter to the US Ambassador

Here is a letter I am sending to the US Ambassador to Canada.  Venting my spleen, probably. This so-called Ambassador recently called Canadians "Nasty" (Trumps favourite word) because so many have decided not to travel to the US since Trump took power for the second time.  I truly believe that the US is now a fascist state.  Immigrants (especially Hispanics and Blacks) are the new Jews. 

Ambassador Pete Hoekstra,

Embassy of the United States to Canada,

PO Box 866, Station B,

Ottawa, Ontario K1P 5T1

Mr. Hoekstra:

I am one of millions of Canadians who object to your depiction of us as “nasty” because we are boycotting travel to the US and US goods, as a reaction to bullying by your President.

You, sir, are a diplomat. Diplomats are supposed to use language that is courteous and tactful. Instead, your language is childish, churlish and crude.

Further, as you well know, the “nastiest” and most evil man in the Western world today is President Trump.  He—and you as his sycophant--is bullying the rest of the world about tariffs. He is causing immense suffering and pain within the US by his cuts to welfare programs and medical care. He is a fascist. He undermines the rule of law, undermines freedom of the press, and has declared entire classes of people persona non grata. When armed, masked men without any identification or accountability can arrest people without cause on the streets of American cities, we know we have already entered the fascist era.

Shame on you.
