    Don’t blame them one single bit. I’m actively investigating whether or not I’m eligible for Canadian citizenship through my great-grandmother, just so I have an emergency exit plan if things turn extra shooty after the mid-terms.

    Subjectively I am seeing far fewer Ontario plates around southeast Michigan. A couple years ago you would see a bunch especially around sporting events and on summer weekends.

    A now there’s also this bullshit red tape trying to get the new Gordie Howe bridge open. Embarrassed how we’ve treated our neighbors the last year and a half.

      I hope you and your fellow citizens can channel those feelings into the action needed to fix your country.

    no point. there are much better places in the world and hell even in Canada itself to vacation. I’m not going to travel to a Nazi country and risk being detained at the border cause I want to save $50 on something.

      Not worth the (potential) bullshit. Besides, we have plenty of awesome stuff up here anyway, and health care for when you find that maybe trying to pet the wildlife was a bad idea.

      I know some older Canadians who still spend every winter in Florida and plan to retire there. They are, of course, white and reasonably wealthy. Myself, I’d rather not live under fascism no matter how sunny the beach is.

      It should be especially to shop. Shopping means supporting their economy just like holidays do.
      Visiting family or if a business depend on it I can understand. But going to USA without needing to doesn’t make any sense, whether you are from Canada or Europe or most other places in the world.

      Unfortunately, I think we’ll find that world cup fans are even less discerning than Republican voters.

    The Florida cities of Panama City, Orlando, Cape Coral, Miami, Naples and North Port are all in the top 10

    Imagine risking your life to visit the shithole states and you pick the most shitty of all the shitholes
