The U.S. and Canadian flags fly atop the Peace Arch. This White Rock letter writer says Canada has just one chance to deal with Trump on the tariff issue, and we need to get it right.

Editor,

We get exactly one chance to deal with Trump, and that is to hit back hard with all our might and with everything we have got. There are no second chances.

The instant Trump imposes tariffs on us, we have no choice but to close our border to all trade with the U.S.A.

From that point on the shoe is on the other foot, and it will be Trump who will say: "Come on, guys, I thought you'd love to be part of my country. I didn't mean to hurt you guys. Please open your border. We love you."

Just shut her down and declare as a Danish parliamentarian declared: "Trump f*** off!"
