It’s a stirring speech. Things are about to get very expensive for both Canadians and Americans. I have already scratched out future plans for visiting the US for the rest of the year, but I am also considering cancelling ones I pre-booked months ago, even at a 50% loss. Haven’t decided firmly yet.
American here. I would encourage you to do so. I would not encourage anyone to visit the US for the next four years. Tourism is big for the United States. The only way we fix this downhill slide trump is taking is for it to blow up catastrophically in Americans faces. It’ll suck for us (and everyone of our allies he is targeting) but it is the only way we vote these morons on the right out and start a long road to try to fix the damage caused by the orange, wannabe godking. The senate race in two years is primarily right wingers (22 red vs 13 blue) who are up for reelection. I’m cautiously optimistic that the recession that trump causes will create a blue wave. That should lame-duck his last two years in office.
I mostly have the same thoughts on this, but I also worry that we sink so deep into the abyss that it will take a long time, if ever at all, to recuperate.

Cancel Netflix and other US streaming services. Stop using American social media, stop buying US and Israeli products wherever possible.
Is Canada going to start working on trade deals with EU?
Seems like we’re getting our tariffs soon too. Gobshite. Wonder what his excuse will be for us since it’s not going to be drugs or borders.
One way to offset the damage would be for the EU and Canada / Mexico to start trading more.
Already done. CETA was provisionally applied in 2017.
Full ratification unlikely just due to the nature of how the EU half works.

No need to advise us outlanders not to visit the US. We have eyes and working brains.
It’s a fun horror franchise to watch, tho. Great script - a tad unrealistic.

I’m going to the US next week because my mom is turning 80… I don’t expect to visit again unless someone dies for the next four years.
So you don’t like your mom or something? I can’t imagine not seeing my family that long over stupid shit.
