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.

Once you're on the wrong end of the stick, you understand that the US isn't a friend. Developing nations and non-white nations have known this for a long time. The biggest thing blinding the population are US media exports. US marketing is amazing, but now, it's getting harder and harder to market shit.
As someone from latam is refreshing seeing that everyone on the world is learning what the US actually is.
I'm not from LATM, but same. I've been telling people for years that the US is not a net positive force in the world and people hold up whatever gadget they have and go "but they made this". Yeah, on the backs of a bunch of poor people that you'll never see nor care about, but because they're not white, it doesn't matter to you.
I think no country is someone's friend ... Everyone is there just for the gains
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 I'm not going back until the Executive Orders around gender are rescinded, if ever.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.
Yup, I cancelled two conference trips because of that jackass.
I am glad to have visited when I could, but I don't see myself ever travelling to the US again.
I’m Canadian And Love Visiting The U.S.
What is it so interesting there?
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.
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'm from a border state and I plan on driving as much as possible through Canada on my road trips. Hopefully the border is still open next year as I am planning a Maritimes road trip.
PEI is worth the visit if you're in the area. I moved here 5 years ago. It's really nice.
Definitely planning on hitting NB, PEI, NS, and NL. I'll cross border at Grand Portage or Sault St Marie. I think Labrador isn't on the cards.
Maybe even hit up France (St Pierre and Milquon)
See you in Cape Breton. If you need anything drop a message and we will see if we can help out.
I am still waiting for all the fuss after 9/11 to die down, haven't been there since before that.
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?
Do not expect your money to be exchanged at a store, do it yourself at a bank or money exchange.
Youd be fine. Might get a chirping from some old timers but nothing drastic. Just dont be an ass and youll be fine.
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.
(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
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
