Prime Minister Ouelere

Though we deeply regret and sympathize with the immense losses that you and your countrymen have suffered in the past few days, there is currently no course of action that the American government is either willing or able to take that will alleviate your predicament. Canadians are strong people, they have preserved through worse scenarios in the past and they will preserve once again.

Allowing refugees from the afflicted area to enter our borders would only exacerbate the problem; they are sick and need to be quarantined, no matter how difficult a concept they may be to accept. As far as the other claim in your last request, there is no indication that these foreign invaders are, in fact, from another planet (despite what the sensationalistic media outlets have suggested). Until we know the precise nature of this infestation, there is little we can do to help you combat them.

I assure you that once the roads and bridges have been reconstructed, we will immediately send reinforcements in the form of food rations and medical supplies. In the meantime, however, all we can offer is our compassion and undying loyalty. Together, we will defeat this menace before it has a chance to spread into other regions of your fair nation, or southward into the U.S.

Stand strong and stay alert.

Sincerely,

Noah Grace, President of the United States of America
