Karen McColl, a Whitehorse resident, expressed her frustration with U.S. political tensions by sending breakup letters to mayors of Alaskan towns Skagway and Haines. She declared a personal boycott, stating it was essential for Canadians to make their voices heard against hostile rhetoric from the U.S. Despite the strong ties and mutual reliance between Yukoners and these communities, McColl emphasized that economic and political pressures necessitate this stand. The tourism relationship, historically vital for both sides, is now strained by escalating national tensions.
What does this breakup mean? It means I won't be visiting or spending money in your community while the leader of the United States continues with his hostile rhetoric.
I don't want to punish individuals and small businesses, but right now, it's more important for Canadians to make our voices heard.
Collection
