    Trump will probably announce that more Canadians than ever are visiting the US. More that under any Democrats. At this stage, he’s just spouting BS non stop.

    There is not one Canadian who didn’t like the States or its people; however, your President alienated Canada in its first term, and most of us got over it. But for a high-end dignitary holding a grudge and threatening Canada with a military takeover in his second term, that doesn’t sit well with Canadians. We were brothers and sisters, we were family before. So in essence, I’m not sure about you folks, but friends and family do not shit on their own. It’s like cornering a dog with no place to go; someone is going to get hurt, and changes will be made along the way. Too bad you Yanks are so wrapped up in your ‘president’, you don’t see a storm coming.

      I don’t know much about geography, but even I can tell that Greenland must be a tropical paradise or made of copper or something.

    I’m glad I got all my traveling done to the US in my younger years.

    I will never ever go back, not even a quick border cross to do a weekend of shopping.

    Fuck America and fuck allllll the Americans that enabled this bullshit.

      Most of the federal government should be arrested. I question whether Trump legitimately won the election, but even if he didn’t, still millions of morons voted for him knowing about all his crimes

    And not just escape tourism. Business travel too.

    I may be just small potatoes, but my refusal to take onsite work in the US since the orange menace took office again has meant that 3 people who used to spend ~40% of their time in US hotels, eating at US restaurants, and paying US transportation costs, are now staying in Canada or picking up the pace with EU clients.

      And you can be certain you’re not alone. The “fuck usa” vibe is cutting deeper and spreading farther than most of us could have foreseen.

        Shit just keeps getting worse down there. Plus they sent the most ridiculous bag of farts as the US ambassador to Canada. This Hoekstra idiot is so foul that he has done more to unite Canadians than anyone except Trump himself. He is a serious contemder for most hated man in Canada.

      I told them right away to not send me to the USA again because I won’t go. I was the only one in the beginning but now I hear it more often. We don’t travel often for work but much less now. US co-workers are now coming up.

    There are state sanctioned kidnappings in the middle of the day. It’s not safe here.

    Plus, something like 20-40% of people are proudly pro trump. That’s a lot of idiots and selfish turds. They’re not all concentrated in Texas and Florida, either. I see a trump flag on one of my regular walks in Brooklyn

      I don’t understand how anyone is still so ignorant as to be in the Untied States if they don’t need to be. Do they all have rules-don’t-apply-to-me syndrome?

        Anyone who still goes to the U.S. when they don’t absolutely have to is either a conscious or subconscious fascism supporter.

    Not going to the US isn’t the same as just staying home.

    We have lots of other places we can choose to go.

    Its not just casual tourists staying home. I follow real estate prices like condos in the touristy parts of Florida and the market is flooded with sellers and prices are dropping significantly. Realtors are saying they have had condos on the market for four months without a single inquiry because the market is saturated with sellers and no one’s coming down to buy. Canadians are fleeing their vacation homes.

    Despite having lived in Canada for all but one year of my life, I’m just not the right skin color to go down to the States.
