Until the pedophile king decides to invade us… Then we would not need to travel to the US anymore.

At this point why ruin a good thing. Flyover states indeed.

The longer Trump and his cronies are in charge the harder it is to recognize the USA as anything other than a rouge state. Americans keep saying that the Democrats are just as bad and we don’t see as much pushback from citizens as we’d see elsewhere so it’s hard to believe that America is a country you’d want to be associated with. I know many people who live stateside that are looking for ways to leave. I also know many Canadians who still travel to the USA and many of them aren’t people whose values and ethics I agree with. If Trump were gone tomorrow and America tried to make amends around the world but who are we kidding, that would never happen. Americans are conditioned to believe everything is someone else’s fault and responsibility. So no, I don’t see myself going to the USA any time soon. Now that they’ve created a jet fuel shortage, it’s harder to go anywhere.

I’m Canadian, but grew up in Hawaii. I love Hawaii with all of my heart, but i have no desire to go back to the US until they deal with their fascist infestation.

I also shop at a grocery and liquor store that boycotts all US products…so we’re moving on.

Dear Canadians,

I don’t blame you. Don’t spend a single “loon” in the U.S.

One day, I wish to go back to Hanauma Bay, Fernbank, the GA Aquarium, NYC, Seattle, sanfran, and travel to see more and new tourism spots. I want to drive across it; or a train if possible.

None of this will happen while there’s a chance I can be kidnapped for 6 weeks. And it’s not gonna happen for a while after.

I truly hope the USA can become an American Union of freely-associated states, like the EU. Let them each choose a new governor, etc, via whatever means, let them pool resources for stuff as agreed, let people migrate freely to where they’re most happy. Let the bigoted uneducated masses occupy the (downstream) portions of the inner-states if they want, but they’re gonna have to trade for what they get handed now.

In short, though, I don’t think hanauma bay is in the cards. So we’re already to where mom can’t go with us to honour and remember my uncle where he was happiest. We’ll be honoring them both when we go back, and that’s just a fact of life.

The biggest damage to the US’s reputation, in my mind as a not particularly anti-American Northern European, is that they’ve shown they can only be trusted for 4 years at a time. It’s impossible to form a long-term relationship with someone like that, and I’m not much into short-term ones.

I now look at every product I buy to make sure it’s not from the US.

I am low key irritated by the number of people I know who continue to travel to the US. And for pure recreation because the sales are so good.

2016 for me.

Several vacations later, we find we miss some bits but don’t really need it. The USA just gets scarier every year and Europe is just so much nicer for biking and walking.

Is it weird that it’s written as if to imply that Canadians would normally find it difficult to resist visiting the US, or am I reading too much into it?

I would sooner visit North Korea, although there’s not much difference anymore. Torture, concentration camps, absurd threats to wipe out entire civilizations, militarized police and panopticon surveillance, guns everywhere, luxury and decadence for the rich and famous while the working class have to compete against their neighbors to balance on a precarious, dystopian knife edge to survive.

There is nothing appealing to me about anything in the USA anymore. Extremely hard pass.

It’s now habituated to avoid the US.

I do virtual presentations for the US and everyone understands. The only real problem is that vacation rentals in Ontario are a total ripoff and are now exceeding lockdown era gouging. Boomers.

There’s no way I’m going back to the US unless there’s a drastic change. Not just politically but in law enforcement as well. My last time there was in 2019 and it wasn’t a good experience.

I went to New York around the time of marijuana legalization in Canada. On our way back to Canada, we got pulled over by a state trooper. He said that he could smell marijuana in the car even though it was my friends brand new car that was never smoked in.

He proceeded to have us stand on the side of the road freezing our asses off for an hour while he searched the whole car. He found nothing of course. Luckily he let us go, I was honestly scared that he would plant something (Maybe I’ve seen too many movies).

We were just 4 dudes on our way back from a metal concert and he treated us like criminals over a smell that wasn’t even there. It’s all about feeling powerful and demonstrating that power. ACAB

Not yet. We need our own tech services rather than still relying on the “tech bros” of the usa. If I have to communicate with the Canadian government using Twitter (X), which they have on their official website, then we are still relying very heavily on the usa. C’mon! BBS’s were a dime a dozen back in the day. None of this is rocket science. Let’s put a team on this!
