If I'm still around

Pete Hoekstra is the American ambassador to Canada and a generally reprehensible human being. 

His latest lie was that the recently completed Gordie Howe bridge was not entirely paid for by Canada which of course it was. The plan was for Canada to foot the bill and then to split the collected tolls evenly between Michigan and Ontario. 

Hoekstra wouldn't be in that role were he not MAGA and thus be able to lie as readily as you breathe like his puppet master. You would need to be like him to be found acceptable by the regime. 

Even the former Stephen Harper communication director was aghast by the fabrication. Harper led a conservative government which gladly did not tip into criminality. 

Trump has squandered all of the capital and goodwill that Canadians had for the US. I won't be going back even long after the wicked witch is dead and I am far from being the only one. 

We just don't trust a healthy portion of your electorate.

Maybe I will change my mind after the US get their house in order again if I'm still around.

It takes generations to build trust but far less than that to destroy it.
