She's doing shows in Seattle and Detroit. Detroit is practically across the street from Canada. British Columbia is 2.5 hours from Seattle, which is the same time it took my wife and daughter to get to the Philadelphia show from the Washington, DC area. Get over it, Canadian MP.

I live in Alberta and this headline made me laugh because of how stupid it is. That said, Seattle and Detroit are quite a ways away from Alberta, but yes, a reasonable distance for people in southern Ontario or BC.

As comic Stephen Wright once, said, everywhere is walking distance if you've got the time.
