Follow up on the Tariff blog post

 So we've been given a reprieve, for now.
30 day hold on the threatened tariffs.
Hopefully that continues for the duration.

I want to first thank all those people who voiced support for me and my fellow countrymen as we dealt with this threat. I was touched very deeply and my faith in people was reaffirmed.
I did use some strong language at times and some were offended, to which I say "when your livehood and national sovereignty are threatened, then you can judge."

I also want to drive home how massive a sense of betrayal most Canadians are feeling right now towards what we thought was our closest ally.
So let me tell you a story.

This is my grandfather;

Lt Cmd G.M. Oliver on the bridge of the landing craft he commanded for the Normandy invasion.
LC(I)L166.

These were American built vessels that were Lend-Leased to the Royal Navy and 20 were then seconded to the Royal Canadian Navy for invasion duty.
My grandfather made multiple trips across the channel carrying troops to the beaches,
Including landing US troops onto Omaha Beach.

This was the legacy that has been crapped on. I can only imagine what Gramps would be saying...

It's also important to say, for the most part our issue is not with the American people, but with the current presidential administration.

Hopefully this chapter is over.

Now onto better news.
In the next couple of weeks the NP/SP&S '51 built boxcars will be released
I just need to write instructions.

Again
My heartfelt thanks for all your support. It got me through some difficult hours.
