My wife and I just returned from a lovely romantic getaway to the Jackson area. We visited a brewery, skied, snowshoed, ate great meals and even took a ride on the Mt. Washington cog rail. During the entire trip, we didn’t see one Canadian license plate or overhear any French being spoken. Good job, President Trump and Gov. Ayotte! You have managed to keep the Canadians out! They are cancelling reservations throughout New England. Fans at numerous sporting events are even booing when the U.S. National Anthem is played. Who can blame them? The Republicans want to impose tariffs on Canadian goods, annex Canada into the U.S., and, in Ayotte’s case, spend taxpayer dollars to make it harder for Canadians to cross the border. That is no way to treat our closest ally and trading partner or to use our tax dollars. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
