MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • January 19, 2025
Since the 1930s, my family has summered or visited Maine every single year, spending thousands of dollars there. And we are not alone. Thousands of Canadians travel to beautiful Maine every year. We always felt welcome. But apparently the USA does not need us anymore. So says President-elect Trump. So, over the next four years, we will visit Gaspésie and New Brunswick instead of Maine. The ocean is just as nice and the lobster just as good. And I hope that we will resume visiting beautiful Maine in 2029. When cross-border trade takes place, it is because it is mutually beneficial to both parties. ~ Paul Beland, Montreal
