Same here, I’m done with the US. I would not have visited Nazi Germany either. The country is descending into civil war and it’s only going to get worse.
Comment on what country would you never go to again?

As a Canadian, the US.
I live on the border. I’ve crossed hundreds of times. I will not enter a fascist country who threatens my own country’s sovereignty.
I would be willing to visit again if the American people were to make some real changes. And simply ditching Trump won’t do it to fix the systemic problens in the country.
But it doesn’t look like they’re willing to do so.

Don’t blame you one bit.
I’ll still be coming up to visit y’all in the North. Hope ya don’t mind. I’m very anti Cheeto Chimp.

Lots more US plates than usual up in my touristy neck of the woods here. We kind of just assume USA plate + in Canada = probably not one of those dumbasses

I’m looking for great beer in Montreal @ Messorem… IDGAF about the rest.
Although, I have a trip to Nova Scotia on my short list. My GF has a family connection that she wants to investigate.

Nova Scotia is awesome. I’m born and bred but I’ve been away for 15 years. Just returned home and I appreciate it now

I agree. Trump’s comments about Canada were beyond the pale. They were effectively a declaration of war in my assessment, and even if it is only ever a trade war and an economic war and an information war and a ideological war, and even if it never escalates to territorial seizure or armed conflict (and I’m not convinced those things aren’t in the pipeline) I am treating them like a hostile nation from this point forward until Trump and his allies are not just removed from power, but either punished or meaningful change is implemented to prevent someone like them from taking control of the country again.
I live in one of the safest countries in the world, and I put extreme value on that safety. Threats to our safety from our neighbor are going to be treated with the utmost seriousness, and we will defend ourselves. Elbows up.
