Editor,

We are proud Canadian citizens living in Surrey.

We take vacations to the United States of America. Our favourite destinations are Waikiki and Las Vegas.

We travel to Las Vegas every year for three nights. Once again we travelled there for three nights to celebrate my husband’s 65th birthday.

We didn’t encounter any issues crossing the border at the airport. We both have Nexus. Smooth sailing.

The Americans that we encountered in Vegas, knowing our Canadian citizenship, apologized for their President Trump and said that they love Canadians.

We don’t brag about our country. We are proud of our Canadian heritage.

Linda Ypenburg, Surrey
