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.

Most Americans have no clue how hard life is here without generational wealth
The current state of things, you'd be lucky to land a job at a grocery store
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.
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.
Next year: I'm genuinely embarrassed that our military bombed Toronto yesterday. So embarrassed. Oh gosh.
Hang on I didn’t consider wiping the Leafs off the map as an option.
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.
cause I want to save $50 on something.
do people actually believe that? Border shoppers are shit at math.
And nothing of value was lost. No one should be going there. Even after Trump fucks off. US will still be fash.
As a Canadian, you guys can fuck right off, eh? Get your democratic shit together.
I like coming north and spending my money to boost the Canadian economy because our laws down here are stupidly hurting my brothers and sisters in Canada. I hope that's still okay that I come north.
Honestly, any American that's actively anti-regime is a brother to us. If your resistance praxis is moving dollars north, so be it.
I won't stop ya, but I'll rib ya.
The ribbing is warranted. I'll take it if it means I can still get my All Dress chips, peameal bacon, and poutine.
Good for them, fuck this place.
Every Canadian I know now refuses to go across the border even to shop.
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 feel there is a story behind that…
You have no idea how soft and docile meese are

Dozens of people get gored by Bison yearly on Catalina Island let alone Death Valley and the Mojave maiming people, well I can't imagine the Canadians are having a better time with stupid people not respecting that nature has teeth and will use them.
I’ve been to both places and have never seen Bison….
Well they're only on Catalina Island, Death Valley just hates Germans and likes making them through non bison means.
Yeah well, they should try to pet a deathclaw. Everyone needs two assholes.

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.
a couple of my parents friends are snowbirds, they all sold their properties in Florida.
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.

I think the World Cup is going to show its not just Canada.
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
I know a few Quebecois .... who primarily speak French and have passable English ... who still cheer for Trump and MAGA and do want to go to Florida to be with Americans because of the "freedom".
I don't get this mentality because at one point it starts to look and sound more like a mental illness than a political ideology
It IS a mental illness!
The real Trump Derangement Syndrome.
I suspect a good portion of those Canadians who regularly visited Florida are in a very high tax bracket that would be lower here in the USA and lowered even further by Trump's actions.
snowbirds, alot of them tend to well off or rich.
they are in canada freeze drying thier brains, and go to florida to fry thier brains in the heat.
This speaks more to the quality of Canadian tourists than American cities.

By all rights, it should go to zero.
I won't even go to visit family.
Until it reaches 0 it is not enough IMO.
