    I wanted to visit before the collapse, but it didn’t work out for multiple reasons.

    Now I’m doubly sad that I didn’t go. Because if I would indeed decide to go now, it would be a coin toss if a random typo in some papers would land me in a gulag

    Those charts are soon going to look a lot worse. I know of many people who had already paid for their vacation before the tariffs were announced, so they went anyway. New bookings for flights from Canada to the U.S. are down over 70%.

      Yeah I think so too.
      People have always talked about a long weekend in New York or a cruise from Miami.
      Now it’s just dead. No mention of the US at all, other than the blithering baboon.

      Would not want to be a trans atlantic airliner this sunmer

        At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if you are trans-atlantic, their DEI policy mistakes this for something LGBT-related and you face automatic detention.

  • I don’t blame any non-American for staying out of the insanity soup going on here.

    Even as a middle age, “white privilege” guy, I’m concerned about traveling outside the U.S. and coming back through immigration. I’m liberal, protester, and strongly anti-Maga on the socials.

    I won’t set foot on US soil again as long as Trump or any other conservative is running this country.

    It’s not even just about how you get shafted at the border nowadays. I simply don’t want to visit a country that is ruled by misanthropic fascists.

    And I think that many people will probably feel the same way.

          Russia is full of cool architecture and art.

          But fuck the current (last 25 years) regime with a rusty crowbar. I’m not stepping a single foot in there.

    I don’t blame anyone, there is no need to personally see the circus that is our country currently. Watch the circus from stands unless you want to be a part of it.

      If you’re lucky you’ll be deported back to your own country.

      I don’t blame a single person for not wanting to tour the US ATM.

    I’m worried of traveling outside of the US because that means I have to come back in through the borders again and be subjected to invasive searches

    I feel bad for the Olympic organizers. Good luck luring tourists to the Olympics.

    Admittedly surprised. I thought it would be like the Bush years when they proclaimed their distaste of the US while still dreaming about living/visiting places like New York and LA.

    My country is vast. My country is huge. My country is beautiful and welcoming too. My country won’t jail you because of your thoughts. My country is Canada 🇨🇦 and we have amazing vacationing spots.
