If you’re going to the US, backup your data and wipe your phone clean of everything personal. Play dumb, leave Facebook & Instagram installed etc.
Don’t do anything remotely fancy, because these mf-ers are just entitled children with a gun, they own you.
Or visit Europe

Hoping to visit soon this summer! Not too thrilled with the idea of having to come back home, with all this going on.

Assuming you’re coming from the US, where are you coming from? Driving or flying? Troy’s travel tips and unsolicited advice for free, this evening only!

Hoping to head out to BC and maybe Alberta last, depending on the amount of time I have. I’ll be driving, I live in Montana so I’m close.

hmm, I was thinking about visiting Calgary this summer. What’s up with Alberta?

They’re trying very hard to be Texas north. The Premier of the province is ignoring science and, in many cases, logic. Anti-vax. That’s one reason they have more measles than the entire USA. There is even a fringe group that wants Alberta to secede from Canada and join the US.

gramie already mostly answered in line with what I’d say: there is an alt-right political shift there, where the lunatics are running the asylum and we keep expecting for sanity to re-emerge. Every country has a pocket like this somewhere. Most people in Calgary are perfectly nice, in the same way that most people in Omaha are perfectly nice, until a trans person is on TV.

The NDP just won 2/3 of last weeks byelections here. We do have a loud minority voice of right wing crazy but if anything the province is moving away from the right.

I’d ignore Quebec, anywhere else is beautiful.

If you have to go to the US as part of a business trip for work, just resign. It’s safer.

At this point absolutely! Things are only going to escalate. Especially once elections time comes around and the US citizens realize there won’t be another legitimate election.

Or, if at all possible, don’t do business with the US.

There are plenty of beautiful place to see and great people to meet in Europe too, and you can see and meet them all without subjecting yourself to Gestapo-style thuggery upon arrival.

For now. It’s not looking to bright over here either, but compared to the US it’s much better ofc.
