To the editor: ML Cavanaugh asks the good guys and gals of Canada and California to speak up, so this Canadian-born American citizen will.
The opinion piece covers the bottom successfully. Fights in hockey generally have a objective — to energise a crew that’s down or underperforming. Why then is President Trump choosing fights along with his neighbor when his crew already has the sting?
When hockey gamers combat there’s a code — the heavyweights combat the heavyweights and so forth. What this administration is doing is bullying, one thing wherein our present president has a substantial amount of expertise and talent.
Hopefully as soon as the combat is over, like good hockey gamers, we’ll shake palms after which go have a beer collectively.

To the editor: Cavanaugh can’t be severe. Hockey gamers combat — that’s a part of the tradition of the sport. There’s an outdated joke: I went to a combat and a hockey sport broke out.
Hundreds of thousands of viewers who watched Canada and the U.S. play within the 4 Nations Face-Off closing on Feb. 20 loved probably the most memorable sporting occasions in current reminiscence.
The actual lesson is that the identical gamers and coaches who fought shook palms, smiled and embraced after the sport in what is without doubt one of the biggest traditions in all of sports activities, the postgame NHL handshake.
That’s the lesson from hockey.

To the editor: What a fantastic piece by Cavanaugh. Canada and California should not permit the goons to find out the connection now we have.
It could be great if California, Oregon and Washington state might in some way create a partnership with Canada just like favored nation standing. There can be simpler border entry, truthful commerce, decreased taxes and even perhaps reductions on tourism.

To the editor: My plea to freedom-loving nations: Please don’t condemn all People for the White Home’s actions. Fewer than half of us voted for this president.
My expensive Canadian neighbors, should you should boo U.S. groups, please voice your disgust at Trump by identify. Make it private.
