Hundreds of readers from both sides of the border have responded to Pete McMartin's Goodbye, America column.

There is no appeasing a bully, writes McMartin .

McMartin: We need to stand tall and make it clear that enough is enough. We are and will remain Canadians with Canadian values.

The U.S. is no longer a friend to Canada , writes a Vancouver resident.

Robert Brown : Most Canada will do just fine without the USA ! We can stand up on our own two feet and maybe we won't have all the advantages of having a friendly neighbour next door, but we don't need them.
