“Trump’s values are not ours, and we appreciate our friendship and our historical relationship,” argued in social networks a municipal councilor in Burlington in Vermont.
In his publication, Evan Litwin says that this street name change serves to send an unequivocal message to the controversial republican president.
He shared his vision of the world after a ceremony that took place last Wednesday, when we symbolically replaced the name of the merchant street “Church St.” For «Rue Canada St.» in Burlington, up to 1is Next September.
According to Evan Litwin, we must think “about the painful and disturbing consequences of the current federal government”.
The municipal politician ends his message by saying that “Vermont is unique, fiercely independent and welcoming for all!”.
Friday morning, a few o’clock from the construction vacation, we already felt the Trump effect on the border.
Few people on the border
There was no crowd on Friday morning at border posts between Quebec and the United States.
Two tourists interviewed by VAT Nouvelles on the border between Stanstead and Derby Line in Vermont remember having waited “between 1:30 and 2 hours” at the same period two years ago.
“We couldn’t even stop at the shops outside taxes, for fear of losing our place in the queue. Today there is […] person. This is the perfect time to go on vacation in the United States. Go ahead and salute Mr. Trump for us, ”said a lady joking.
According to TVA Nouvelles, this weak crowd at the Stanstead border at the start of the construction vacation has been an unprecedented situation for more than a decade.
As for the border post between Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle and Champlain, the morning also went smoothly, according to the American customs website. However, the waiting time has increased slightly in the middle of the afternoon.
