Dear Editor,

Well, after 200+ years of cooperation, friendship, and mutual support, the U.S. [under President Trump] has become our adversary.

While disappointing, this threat of 25-per-cent U.S. tariff is our own darn fault鈥� Canada hasn鈥檛 pulled its weight since the Korean War in 1950.

Instead, we relied on the U.S. to defend us.

Recently, our Liberal government asked the U.S. to shoot down the Chinese 鈥渟py balloon鈥� over the Northwest Territories鈥� the 鈥渇ly over鈥� during the Canada Day Celebration in Ottawa last year was from the U.S鈥� aircraft based in Buffalo, N.Y. 鈥� this at the Liberal government鈥檚 request.

Further, the U.S. has some 22,000 military personnel in Alaska, Russia is estimated to have 38,000, and Canada has 300. This to defend our sovereignty over the Arctic Archipelago and the North West passage, sigh.

Canadians have elected the Liberal Party of Canada, who consistently starved our military of funds. The Progressive Conservatives [now the Conservative Party of Canada] is responsible too. They failed to restore those funds.

We, the Canadian people, have also failed to insist on a military that pulls its weight in NATO most especially in these days of Russian aggression.

After the Second World War, Canada had a military of which Canadians could be proud鈥� we pulled our weight beyond our means鈥� heck we had the third largest navy in the world. Instead, we have relied on the U.S. to defend us most especially during the Cold War until this day. No wonder the U.S. taxpayer is upset with us.

And this general malaise has also spread towards law enforcement, law and order, and the justice system, where unsupervised immigration in this country prevails.

Our governments, most especially the Liberals, but the Conservatives too, have failed to counter the Liberal鈥檚 鈥渨oke鈥� agenda in particular towards the justice system where the criminals have more rights than their victims鈥� go figure?

Furthermore, who do we have to defend Canada against President Trump?  A 鈥渓ame duck鈥� wimp of a prime minister and his 鈥渨oke鈥� minions?

Canadian voters were duped by his youthful good looks and his 鈥渃harisma,鈥� a part-time high school 鈥渄rama鈥� teacher who has no business being a prime minister .

An election can鈥檛 come soon enough for this senior.

I鈥檒l tell ya鈥� what a state we find ourselves in?
