Writing to a politician is a great idea and I would do that. If someone could post names to write to would help the American riders. We have the same problem here in the Adirondacks and this is the reason I love Quebec so much plus the trails are the best. I just don't want to write a letter and have it sit on the wrong desk.
Only my thoughts. Possibly write a letter with all the American Quebec Riders signatures on it. Strength in numbers.
