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 typically have a objective — to energise a staff that’s down or underperforming. Why then is President Trump choosing fights along with his neighbor when his staff 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 by which our present president has a substantial amount of expertise and ability.
Hopefully as soon as the combat is over, like good hockey gamers, we’ll shake arms 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 There’s an outdated joke: I went to a combat and a hockey recreation broke out.
Tens of millions of viewers who watched Canada and the U.S. play within the 4 Nations Face-Off remaining on Feb. 20 loved one of the vital memorable sporting occasions in latest reminiscence.
The true lesson is that the identical gamers and coaches who fought shook arms, 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 an incredible piece by Cavanaugh. Canada and California should not enable the goons to find out the connection we’ve got.
It will be fantastic if California, Oregon and Washington state might by some means create a partnership with Canada much like favored nation standing. There can be simpler border entry, truthful commerce, lowered taxes and even perhaps reductions on tourism.

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