An open letter to our neighbors to the north...


We extend our apologies to you for the attitude of our so-called president
calling you our 51st state and other things he's said, and also for the tariff
crap he's created between our two countries. The guy has a weird idea that
the U.S. should have a positive balance with all countries in terms of trade.
That's not how trade works. There's some small islands where they only produce
one product. So he dumps a heavy trade tariff on them. He's hurting all countries,
including our own, with his crazy notions of how trade works between countries.
Trade is an economic alliance that benefits both countries. Contary to what Trump says,
there are no losers, only winners, and trade helps strengthen the free world.
Anyway, eventually we'll have a real president, and with time the trash this present
president created will eventually get undone and things fixed properly.But in the meantime,
as an Idahoan here in the U.S., we thank you for being our neighbor.

I keep getting notices from so-called book publishers.
Please take me off your list of possible clients.
Do not call me. Do not bother me.
Do not inquire what book I'm working on.
Don't waste my time or yours.
I just am not interested.
