Not just the threats, but the deafening silence from Americans in general about it (outside Lemmy) is something we will not forget for a generation.
Seriously. I have too many American friends who are confused when I tell them I have and will have no interest in going down to America, even if it's just to visit them, for the foreseeable future and they wonder why.
Could it be because your country was having open public discourse on the merits of annexing us? Or maybe that I don't want to get thrown into an ICE concentration camp for no reason?
My inlaws are dual and living in the US. Very surprised and confused why I was still upset about it.
Interesting that they would be confused at all. I have an interest, because Canada is cool, but I won't be visiting anytime soon because I know we are the worst and nobody is going to want us there. I also don't want to deal with assholes at the border, even though I'm a US citizen they have carte blanche to do anything they are in the mood for.
Honestly, we're generally fine with individual Americans that are respectful. Not many of us, if any at all, will be rude towards you unless you're an openly hateful Trump supporter.
I'm finding all Americans distasteful these days. They have a taint these days.
Yeah the stench of Trump lingers on 70 million Muricans.
I certainly don’t judge Americans who come here unless they’re acting MAGAish (wearing the hat, American flag clothes, etc).
I'm not visiting canada because I'm afraid to come back. American border security gives 0 bucks about citizenship anymore
This is not the way things work. I don't think there is a dislike of the population in general, and in real life, if you're spending your money, no business is going to refuse or mistreat you.
Canadian here- don't get us wrong, boycott aside you are more than welcome to visit and we will be kind and gracious to you when you arrive. Spending money in Canada is our favourite way for you to express your solidarity.
What gets me is that no one seems to be mentioning exactly what it means that US is entering their 'Papers please' phase, and that supporting a fascist state isn't a very Canadian thing to do.
Not wanting to be hassled at the border, or having our sovereignty threatened is an understandable reason for avoiding the US, but it's also pretty selfish.
I wish I see more people, and Canadian news media talking about the bigger side of it as in 'We don't support fascism'
That should be an integral part of our identity, especially if we want to ensure the Conservatives stop trying to normalise maple maga ideals.
Yeah even if the US wasn't threatening us, I'm not giving them more money to spend on torturing people.
Exactly. The first trump presidency can be seen as a blip. The second was intentional.
