      Dear Mr. Trump is written by the talented author Tom Panzone. Panzone has written an ‘explosive 80-page open letter to Mr. Trump and his supporters’. The letter contains shocking material but also insightful knowledge that will inform readers of the divide between America and Canada. Panzone describes in his book that Canada has a plentiful amount of history and he does this by taking his readers back to 1812, the year Canada had a victory over the USA. I did not know about many of the informative facts laced throughout the book, so my inner history buff was very happy indeed!
      Readers that love history and love opinionated, dramatic and informative books will adore Dear Mr. Trump because this is one of the best books of the genre. The author Tom Panzone not only has many valid points, but he also has wonderfully written his book. The literature courtesy of Panzone is delightful, and it reads smoothly from beginning to end thanks to the fluidity of the text. As I read Dear Mr. Trump, I found myself turning the pages even faster because the writing was so glorious!
      As Dear Mr. Trump is an incredible, unforgettable and definitely memorable book that will inspire many thoughts and feelings in its readers and challenge their thoughts, views, and opinions, I, of course, have to award the sensational book five stars! If you are a reader who is looking to read a political book that has refreshing viewpoints and incredible knowledge, then Dear Mr. Trump is for you and should not be missed! Be sure to have a read of Dear Mr. Trump and also check back here next week because I will be writing a spotlight for the author which I am very excited about!

    Chapter 1

    LET’S STRAIGHTEN OUT THE HISTORY BOOK

    Canada (Brains) Defeats USA (Brawn) In War Of 1812

    I don’t want to go back too far, so I’m just starting with the war of 1812, when America had been a country since 1776 and Canada was still a British colony, your country tried to conquer that colony and failed because of a coalition of British, French and Native troops. Although clearly seen as underdogs, the French held against the Americans on Lake George while the local natives, led by Chief Joseph Brant helped General Brock and his British troops defeat the Americans at Niagara Falls by outwitting them. Smarts defeated the bombs bursting in air.

    Although Americans like to claim victory, those British and French territories became a unified and proud Canada in 1867. That’s 150 years ago. We did it without gun-toting Cowboys and Indian wars, without a Civil War and without Slavery. We were always more civilized. Apparently, it was worth the effort. Today, over $1 billion worth of trade crosses our shared border every day and we have Universal Medicare for all our citizens.

    Johns Hopkins University professor Eliot Cohen, a senior advizer to former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, wrote in his 2011 book Conquered Into Liberty that, ultimately, Canada and Canadians won the War of 1812. An interesting review can be found here:

    Canada won the war of 1812

    1.1 BACKGROUNDER – Earlier History

    So, Mr. Trump, I don’t want you to think that we had it easy, but we learned from early on that what we were doing here was important, worth fighting for and worth developing. We have not been without our own internal struggles on our way to nationhood.

    The Lachine Massacre

    For example, in 1689, on a quiet August 5 morning, an army of 1500 Iroquois natives crept into Lachine, a settlement on the island Montreal and massacred many of its inhabitants, took prisoners and burned down many buildings. The natives were unhappy about the equity of the fur trade and the infringement on their culture and territory. Skirmishes lasted a long time and culminated in the Lachine Massacre, when, prompted by the Brits who had just declared war against the French in Europe, the natives attacked the main trading post in Montreal. They were motivated because many years earlier the French had attacked and pillaged their villages. Get the details below along with wonderful related stories which will enrich your knowledge of that era.

    Until the battles were settled on the Plains of Abraham in 1759 and civilization began to take hold, we too had the French, the Brits and the natives fighting each other for control of New France. The Brits won but left the French with their religion, their language and their laws. That was a friendly deal that enabled the French to flourish and create the wonderful Province of Quebec, which a lot of Americans love to visit.

    The country took shape as a blend of Brits and Frenchmen worked together to forge Canada, a country of educated tough men and women and develop it coast to coast as one of the world’s most cherished nations. Even Americans would love to move here, if they could.

    CANADA SAVED THE WORLD FROM NAZIS - 1917

    The Battle Of Vimy Ridge 100 Years Ago

    2.1 WHAT IT MEANT TO CANADA

    By the time the WWI, First World War, came around, Canada was ready to demonstrate that it had arrived as a nation and was ready to help other countries fight for their freedom. And so it was that we sent troops to the French front. Our first mission was to do what the French and the Brits could not do. Having already lost 100,000 men, they sent the Canadians to see what they could do. It was historic and the recount of the battle is detailed below.

    100 years ago, on April 9, 1917, thousands of young Canadians stormed Vimy Ridge in France, capturing it from the Germans. It was a defining moment in Canada’s history. It was the first battle in which the Canadian Corps fought as a unit with an assignment that was all its own to carry out. It was the first fully Canadian victory in any war to that date. It proved to our General Currie that the Canadian Army would be very effective for the rest of the war and there are those who say it was the worst fear of German soldiers for the last 100 days of the war.

    This battle is usually seen as the watershed between Canada, the colony, and Canada, the nation. It severely tested the mettle of Canada as a nation because it brought to the fore the festering divisions between French and English Canada. Vimy gave Canadian soldiers the opportunity to demonstrate decisively what was known all along–they were tough resilient and resourceful soldiers–a message not lost later on Hitler who had encountered Canadians at Ypres and hesitated with Operation Overlord when he realized the Southern coast of England was defended by the Canadian First Army, and not lost on Eisenhower when he chose that same army to liberate The Netherlands.

    THE BATTLE AS RECOUNTED BY LIAM CROWLEIGH, IN A POST ON 10 Dec. 2016.

    "Officially the country of Canada was created on July 1, 1867 when the British North America Act was signed, but the Battle of Vimy Ridge, in 1917, in many ways represents the moment when Canada unofficially became a country on its own.

    Vimy Ridge was an area of high ground in the north of France near Arras that, for months, had been a sticking spot for the allies. The British and the French forces had repeatedly tried to take the ridge and failed with the loss of more than 100 thousand troops killed, with more wounded and MIA.

    Up until this point, Canadian troops had always been under the command of British officers. Their tactic had been a short artillery barrage followed by the standard frontal assault of soldiers charging across the no-man’s-land towards the enemy machine guns. This was made more difficult because of the steep rize to the top of the hill where the Germans were situated. At Vimy it had always failed.

    Now for the first time, the Canadians were going to be tasked with taking the ridge – on their own.

    Led by Canadian General Arthur Currie, the battle was planned meticulously. They carefully measured the direction of enemy artillery fire and triangulated these to calculate where the German field guns were situated. They used aerial reconnaissance to build models of the exact layout of machine gun posts. Instead of just being riflemen, soldiers were given specialized tasks such as grenade throwers and trained over and over again for weeks until
