    “We don’t need anything from Canada”

    Proceeds to table bill to get our sweet, sweet tourism dollars

    I expect brown Canadians and LGTBQ+ Canadians to still be at risk of some ICE shenanigans, so fuck it anyway.
    May the snowbird tourism industry fucking burn, they might as well spend their money somewhere that isn’t hostile to our sovereignty.

    The issue that is keeping Canadians away is not how long we can stay in the US visa free. It’s the Trump administration and all the Republicans in Congress that haven’t done a single thing to even try to keep Trump in check.

    American coming in peace.

    I like all of your comments. We’ve fucked around and we’re starting to find out and are becoming desperate.

    These Republicans who are trying to woo you back should be putting their weight behind impeaching the Orange Menace.

    Until the shitgibbon is gone, spend your tourism dollars elsewhere, and let us keep begging.

    I really wish I could join you guys and trade my American citizenship for Canadian citizenship.

    Elbows up. You got this.

      Thanks. But even after orange shitler is gone, in another four years after that there will be some other nutjob Republican voted in who will continue to extend the trump project of corrupt rule by total chaos. But they will be younger, and maybe smarter, so even more dangerous. The US is dead to me and dead forever to a huge majority of Canadians. The 51st state rhetoric, Canada doesn’t exist, arbitrary border, has socialized healthcare only because Canada doesn’t spend enough on its military, free trade bait and switch, stack the federal Govt with incompetent morons on purpose, taken altogether - did it. The US has crossed not one but hundreds of red lines. We. Are. Done.

        Not gonna lie. I’m disappointed. But this isn’t a you problem. It’s a we problem, or a US problem. Trump isn’t the problem. We are the problem. And I don’t know how we can fix that. How do you fix stupid?

    Any Canadian traveling to the Fourth Reich for anything other than life-saving reasons is a traitor.

      It’s not safe for brown people, people of colour, Black folks, trans and LGBTQ folks.

    I’m never ever going to the USA willingly ever again unless we’re invaded by them.

    Do they actually think minor inconveniences like visa length are what’s stopping us from visiting? Fuck, that shit hole country really is full of idiots.

    If Ontario residents stay 7 months, they lose their health care.

    “To qualify for Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) coverage, a person must be a resident of Ontario as defined in Regulation 552 of the Health Insurance Act (HIA). Except for those residents identified in section 1.1(1)(a) below, a resident must ordinarily be present in Ontario which means the resident must make his or her permanent and principal home in Ontario and, with some exceptions, be present in Ontario for 153 days in any given 12-month period.”

    Not that this bill would convince me to ever cross the border again

      And yet, Albertans want to join the US? Do they think they’re going to retain their health care, maternity leave, etc.??? Are they just stupid?
