EXCERPT:
HILLMAN: "Well, I’ll be honest. We as a government aren’t necessarily needing to send that message. Canadians are perplexed, I think disappointed. We view ourselves as your neighbor, your closest friend, your ally, you know, a country whose citizens have fought and died with you around the world in defense of values that we share, who come to the aid of the Los Angeles fires most recently, and I think are really perplexed by this move. So, I don’t think anybody will need to tell Canadians what to do. I think that they will make their decisions on their own."
