Growing up in Detroit, we not only crossed the border , thru the tunnel, and in fact may have been serviced by Mr. Wall, we shopped there at the farmer’s mkt for fresh bread, the best cream puffs and Canadian bacon and eggs, and also played hockey at Windsor and Riverside arenas. Going to Canada was like heading out to Hamtramck! Just fun and good food. We rarely looked at it as a trip to another country, but rather a very friendly and positive place. Canada could never be a bad place or enemy territory. The Canadians are our best friends across the Detroit River and every other body of water. In my mind, that idiot in the W H will never ruin our beliefs and memories. Your visit to the embassy was enlightening, especially after what “he” has done with the U S A’s long established relationship to our friends. I truly hope they don’t give up on us. In three years or less, we’ll be back!
My favorite spot in Windsor: O'Maggio's Kildare House at 1880 Wyandotte St., E. Best Halibut in North America. It was our last adventure before COVID and our first after the border re-opened.
One time, when the Border Patrol agent asked our destination and we told him, he replied, “You have good taste.”
Thanks for reminding us of our good neighbor Canada.

Have not been back for a few. May give ‘er a try.
Phoebe,
Great reminder of how good Canada is as a neighbor next door verses the disparaging rhetoric spouted by Rump…Dane🙏
Our relationship is so incredibly deep.
