1. I don't blame them one bit.

If I were Canadian, I’d be right with them.

I’ll be buying Canadian where I can.

[elleng]

2. and if I needed it, I'd buy CANADIAN maple syrup tomorrow.

[ooky]

10. Countdown to how long it will be before purchasing merchandise from Canada

will be declared to be federal crime by our tyrant?

[leftofcool]

3. Yea Canada! Make it stick!

[DBoon]

4. Canadians should vacation in Mexico

To show solidarity with another NAFTA country Trump is crapping on

And just to piss Trump off

5. I would do exact same thing if I were them

In fact the entire EU should boycott all american corporations, every single fastfood chain, etc. It’s very easy to do. This needs to become a worldwide movement.

14. I live in the EU

And the attitude toward America is at an ebb that I think would shock even the most cynical Americans.

There's a new feeling of... America used to be a good country that did a lot of bad things... Non-stop... But at least the people were decent and it was a great place to work, if you didn't mind lowering your standard of living.

Now... It's more like America is a bad country with a minority of decent but complacent folks, and a majority of folks who are crazy.

Also, those EU representatives in the G7, they represent hundreds of millions of people, and all those people just took offense.

It's a bad time for the United States globally.

6. Why in Hell would anyone vacation in America

a lust to be riddled with AR15 shells? To behold Nazi-like treatment of children? To observe a once noble and great country self-destruct because of xenophobia and hatred? If I could I would permanently vacation in Canada. trump is destroying the goodness we all knew when Obama was president. It will take us years to recover from the orange hate-monger. Longer than I will live. God, I hope I am wrong and just being paranoid.

[BigmanPigman]

7. No, you are being very realistic.

And I agree 100%.

[BannonsLiver]

13. Three reasons based on experience

1. The Mouse (Disney Parks)

2. Our National Park system

3. Route 66 (Europeans, primarily)

Outside of that I’m with you. I wouldn’t vacation here either for exactly the reasons you mentioned.

[raccoon]

17. I recently was in UK and told some of them who were going to the US to

I recently was in UK and told some of them who were going to the US to vacation That if I didn’t live here, I certainly wouldn’t vacation here because every MF and their brother can get hold of an automatic weapon.

[Cha]

8. Aww.. I understand but I will

miss seeing Canadians here on Kauai.. I love talking to them.

trump was a fucking asshole to PM Justin Trudeau.. there will be payback.

[donkeypoofed]

9. I have cancelled my Vegas vacation

At this point I'm not even sure border guards would let me in (being Canadian), and I wouldn't take my child there(last he be snatched and incarcerated). I luv Vegas; it's my "happy place", but I just can't give my hard earned $$ to a country with a leader that is crapping on us right.now. as soon as the tides turn, I'm going back to Vegas. It is with a heavy heart thst I cancelled my trip and I didn't do it lightly. Sigh.

11. +1

[Rhiannon12866]

12. First he came for the tourism industry...

This alleged "businessman" is out to bankrupt this country - like he did for himself several times.

[Achilleaze]

15. republicans have PISSED all over America's economic goose

and weakened not only our economy, but also our national security.

[DFW]

16. Not just Canadians. Europeans, too.

My neighbors in the Düsseldorf area, who have come over to spend time with us in Cape Cod in recent years, have opted for Austria instead this year. My wife, again, will be leaving directly back to Germany, refusing to set foot outside the state of Massachusetts.

[Hortensis]

18. I would if I were them. I know and sympathize with

retired Canadians who winter in southern states and are conflicted. The ones I know from our own wintering in Florida would prefer to be able not to. But, although boycotting American goods as much as possible up there may not be too much of a sacrifice, for septuagenarians wintering in Manitoba instead of with friends in Sarasota can be a big one. Even bad for the health of some.
