The senator said that border communities like those in Maine and Canada are truly intertwined," adding that the U.S. must preserve this friendship.
Weve had differences w/ Canada over the years, particularly regarding subsidies from the provincial & natl governments; nevertheless, Canada remains our close ally, good friend, & one of Americas biggest trading partners. In Maine, we have a special relationship w/ Canada. 1/2

Many border communities are truly intertwined. Canadian nurses, for example, cross the border every day to work in Maine hospitals. A Madawaska, Maine, mill pumps pulp from the Canadian side of the border to be made into paper on the US side. We must preserve this friendship. 2/2

How did that work out?
Guess the GOP decided to let you speak up on this and do nothing about it instead.
