Jillian Keiley, director of the musical 'Come From Away', expresses deep hurt and betrayal over President Trump's rhetoric against Canada, particularly his accusations of abuse and threats of tariffs. The musical, based on the true story of Newfoundlanders' kindness towards stranded Americans after 9/11, highlights the reciprocal 'beautiful generosity' shared during that time. Keiley emphasizes the enduring friendships forged and the importance of the musical's message of unity in the face of division.

I have to believe they’re a small number,” Keiley said.
“Threatening tariffs, trying to use them as a bargaining chip, is a violation of the golden rule, and it’s not the way you treat your best trading partner and your ally,” Tuerff said. “It’s frankly despicable to me.”
