I’m Canadian And Love Visiting The U.S.

What is it so interesting there?

Yes please. This is a time when things need to be corrected, and as long as Trump and his fascist party are in charge that will nene happen.

I visited Texas twice since 2021 as a trans woman and I knew I was pushing my luck lol. I'm not going back until the Executive Orders around gender are rescinded, if ever. I'd legit rather just go visit Spain or New Zealand or something now though instead.

Yep. Cancelled plans to attend a conference and visit family. Never again.

Funny, I never really liked going to the USA and now, finally, the rest of my family understands

Plenty of better places to go, sadly because of geographical location, it's hard to avoid the USA as a stop when traveling from Canada but I get the feeling this is soon to change as well

Fuck the USA hard until they fix their dumpster fire of government... and no, I don't just mean "elect a democrat", update your bible and get a real democracy going

I don't blame you.

I was planning a trip to PA and Las Vegas in 2025.

Now those have been changed to France and Amsterdam. It'll cost me much more, however I'm not going to America for the foreseeable future.

For the Canadians here. If i as an american wanted to come visit and spend money in Canada now, what would the reception be like?

I am still waiting for all the fuss after 9/11 to die down, haven't been there since before that.

Back before the Canadian dollar was at or near par, we'd visit the US from Toronto monthly. We'd roll up to the outlets and score deals. I'd pick up parcels from my cross-border PO box. And then once we were all shopped out, we'd treat ourselves to a quality meal at Olive Garden and be on our merry way. Some nights we'd even get a room at the nearby casino, drop some money at the penny slots.

Since 2016, in addition to the low Canadian dollar, the political climate and the rise of anti-intellectuals have really forced us to think twice about spending any time across the border.

It used to be a fun day trip with great deals and cheap food. It's not the case anymore.

Ok cool. Thanks for letting us know.

(not canadian) i’m 100% in the same boat… i have commitments to some international events throat i have to fulfil, but im pulling any support from “international” things in the US after they’re done

i can’t in good conscience come and spend money in that economy, and i certainly can’t support events that draw other people into doing the same - especially when a lot of it is US-centrist-reinforcing the idea of what “international” is by providing only token nods to other cultures

Good! Yet, I'll be happy to visit:

Messorem, Montreal

You should come. Just bring a couple hundred thousand well armed friends and annex New England, New York, and Pennsylvania They won't complain, except the white trash in upstate NY, just throw some meth on their direction, that'll shut them up, but feel free to avoid Jersey, unless you've gotten your shots.

And now you are practically in mortar range of the White House.

Genocide wasn’t enough apparently

okay, 1 Canadian less 🤔

Canada fairly shamefully threw Mexico under the bus for cartels recently justifying an unjustifiable war on Mexico as a cowardly response to the unjustified war on Canada. Of course, no diplomatic contacts/coordination to Mexico from Canada have been mentioned.

There are plenty of places warmer/souther of Florida at this time of year. Mexico one of them you could consider to apologize to country for our cowardice. Later in the year, Canada is very beautiful.

You realize our election maps are public right? You can tell down to the county what percentage of voters are trumptards. Cut off funds to the traitors? Absolutely. But for deep blue Seattle?
