President-elect Donald Trump speaks during a meeting with Republican governors at Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Fla., Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025. This White Rock letter writer says it's time to play "hardball" with Trump.

Editor,

We should simply inform Emperor Trump that should he be foolish enough to impose tariffs on Canada that we would shut our border with the U.S.A. and invite China, North Korea, and Iran to trade with Canada. Game over.

I am certain we could sell our stuff including water at a very high premium to the above countries of ill repute.

It is time Canada placed Trump's head on a silver tray dripping in blood, and handed it back to the country that has forgotten that Canada is their closest ally and friend, and their major trading partner. 

It is time for a bit of hardball.

Fred Meilink, White Rock
