I’m in B.C., and near the Washington border. It was a “right of passage” when we turned 21 and were legal to drink in Washington, USA. I think there was a lot of eye-rolling when we Canadian hooligans came over the border. But, you were always welcoming and hospitable. I miss you, neighbours 🥺.

Do you know where your friend is from? They might actually be from the US. Always ask for ID before you swing. Gotta hoard those calories since food got more expensive.

It's your friend's fault, they are brainwashed by the woke trans globalist agenda and can't understand you're doing it for their own good. Keep draining the swamp and they will eventually see you were right all along!

Have you tried deporting your friend to a death camp in El Salvidor?

How about a 90-day moratorium on face punching, after which their will definitely be more face punching?

Yup. Boycott is only part of it. The other part is that it's not safe. ICE is out of control and has already sent Canadians to jail for zero reason.

I'm planning a 15 hr drive next month that I'd normally do thru the US as it shaves a few hours off. But not this time. You literally couldn't pay me to cross that border - I can't risk getting shipped off to some concentration camp in El Salvidore because ICE doesn't like my hybrid car, or whatever.

Exactly, I wouldn't visit America for the same reason I wouldn't visit Afghanistan...it's a dangerous country run by dangerous religious nut jobs.

I think many of us are shocked that the US has an army of ICE and CBP agents that were this ready to go full Gestapo. That suggests some alarming underlying issues.

I mean, I and others friends have made jokes about the 51st state thing with a Canadian friend in our group. But everyone in that group knows how fucking absurd the idea is, and everyone in the group knows that no one in the group is in favor of it. Sort of gallows humor.

I have to hope that’s what those others were trying with their jokes, trying to relieve tension by mocking the absurdity. But obviously if that backfires, it’s certainly not the fault of the receiver of the joke. Intention matters but it isn’t everything.

Don’t ever feel bad for giving exactly what is being asked for.

As an American, I do not take it personally that Canadians and other countries are boycotting the US. it's understandable, appropriate even, and I'm fully supportive of it.

The only thing I ask is that when the resistance comes that you find ways to support us, covertly if necessary, but public if able.

Many Americans are great and I like them…

Thank you. That means more than you realize.

Nobody can blame Canadians for responding rationally to an irrational situation.

The only thing that will change the US trajectory towards fascism is an economic crisis. A major one.

Sadly there will be collateral damage. I'm sorry for them.

I've seen plenty of those same "love Canada" Americans using the "it's just a joke, bro" defense, though. So they still don't get it.

As an American, I can hardly blame the Canadians. Who would want to cross the border when doing so might get you tossed into a dark hole in El Salvador for no reason whatsoever?

It absolutely does suck for the Americans who rely on those tourist dollars, though, as well as the Canadians who lose a destination they love. I really hope we can restore sanity sooner rather than later, but I fear it would take an act of God to do so.

If you want to make an omelette, you might have to fuck a chicken.

Wait...

We need the pain. Just like you needed the pain from Trump to oust your far right, We need everybody, even the people in the deep blue states to say absolutely not to the entire right agenda, or shit here is never going to get better

Not yet. People are still in denial that their choice, or their choice to sit it out, us responsible for his installation.

Speak for yourself. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I'm sad to comprehend that you are saying they are a lost cause and not that they had disappeared.
