U.S. Neighbors

* Sergio Munoz’s reference to “Mexico, the United States’ most important neighbor” (Commentary, Feb. 7) is a joke.

My cousin is Canadian and he doesn’t think Mexico is any more important than Canada. He has asked several other Canadians and they don’t think so either. The Canadian who owns the pastry shop down the street was offended.

Dollars can’t be a factor, as the U.S. import/export is billions higher with Canada than with Mexico.

After discussing this we came to the conclusion it must have been a typographical error and should have read, “Mexico’s most important neighbor, the United States.”
