Another Alaskan who loves Canada

Thursday, March 6

Hello Honorable Mayor:

Your city of Whitehorse is a place I have visited at least a 10 times.

From camping at various beautiful sites to ice hockey tournaments, girls Horse Camp at Heart Bar Ranch to family time at Takini Hot Springs; Whitehorse is a place we love.

Living in Juneau, Whitehorse is one of the closest places for us to go when we want a trip out of town.

There’s so much we have loved and enjoyed about Whitehorse over the years.

And like me many Americans, I did not vote for our current president and do not support any of his policies.

I am disgusted by his actions, including the tariffs on our best friends, Canadian citizens.

Please accept my sincerest heartfelt apologies for the financial burden and other stress this is causing you, your city, your province, and your nation.

My husband and I plan to make a trip to Whitehorse this summer and support you in a small way with our tourism dollars.

You have a wonderful city.

Take care and best of luck getting through this difficult time.

Sincerely, Amy Kesten
