Majority of Canadians feel unwelcome and unsafe travelling to United States: new poll
Majority of Canadians say travelling to U.S. could be unsafe, unwelcoming: new poll
I am American and I would be happy for Canada to burn the fucking White House. I am sick of this fucking bullshit.
Haven’t even hit French levels of protesting, why do Canadians have to come in and fix things?
That's honestly something that has been pissing me off. As Americans we need to stop just assuming someone will come and save us after we've literally pissed everyone else off. We did this to ourselves and we need to deal with ourselves. If we don't show the effort to actually do something about it ourselves we really have no right to ask for help.
He's refrencing the war of 1812 when Canada retaliated against the US stealing their land by burning down the White House.
That’s one way to honor tradition.
Just FYI, the National Post is a member of the Post Media group of American propaganda outlets.
Weird propaganda flex for them.
"Dear America, Canada thinks you're an unstable and dangerous country and want nothing to do with you since installing your fat, bloated, idiot, orange king."
Makes sense to me, if the goal is to sow division. America is really trying to paint itself as incompatible with Canada, for some reason.
It’s the same for the majority of Americans.
I have family in the states that I won't be visiting for the foreseeable future
They are unwelcome and unsafe.
I would be personally delighted to see them but fearful for their safety.
I suspect that everybody is currently unsafe in the US.
I'm a Asian American and I feel pretty damn unsafe in America.
A large number of Americans feel the same way
I was already not going to the US anyway. At least not by plane. I've seen and heard enough about TSA to know it's not a place where I want to go. Ever since 9/11, their paranoia and security theatres are too much for me. I even avoid flights that have connections in the US.
I considered going to Vermont on my bike to try rail trails and loop back in Canada, but even then, the prospect of going through US customs is enough to prevent me doing it.
Plus, I'm part of minorities, defend them, and know that I would have to be careful about what I say in some states. And I also don't feel safe around people carrying guns everywhere.
Trump just pushed everything to the extreme. Crossing the border was already a possible shitty experience, now the chances of being treated like a criminal without any rights are even higher. No point in trying.
We're not too bad here in California, besides the security theatre in airports.
But yeah, I don't blame you.
The feeling is correct
