    No, we haven’t gotten rid of those rabid raccoons that keep biting you, but you should totally come back over!

    I say this as an American.

    I hope tourism to USA plummets to nil or near 0 while orange man is in office. Have already seen a vast majority of conferences move their venues away from US. The few that have stayed in US had low participation/attendance.

    This country only understands $$$, unfortunately. The people that voted for this idiocracy are very much likely the same people impacted negatively by orangutan administration policies.

      In Quebec, there have been reps from Vermont doing an advertising push to convince people to travel to their state. They were struggling to convince anyone.

    The U.S. has become Russia-lite. Literally any non-citizen can be sent off to a torture prison forever for zero reason and with no recourse. (Citizens can too, but it hasn’t happened yet.)

    Members of a bipartisan group of U.S. senators who visited Ottawa this past weekend say they want to bolster the Canada-U.S. relationship despite U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent attacks

    I’m not Canadian, but as a European this is my reaction to senators reaching out:
    Yeah that’s not how this works. Get rid of the Trump administration should be your priority.
    Then depending on what happens, maybe we can talk.

    USA is per definition an enemy now to both Canada and EU, an enemy that threatens invasion, and is attempting to destroy the economies of close allies. USA as a country is letting this happen, and we have to respond to USA as a country.

    We can’t have individual policies with groups of congressmen.

    Ya, no. Trump just wants Canada’s oil reserves. Probably why he wants Greenland, too.
