Many Canadians have boycotted taking U.S. trips and buying American products since the spring. That’s when President Trump made false claims and belittling comments about Canada in the midst of a tariff war.
There are too many Americans who think, “Hey, don’t worry, you’re a good visitor / immigrant / businessperson, you’ll be treated fine”, when manifestly at least some of those people are not treated well. And the potential risk, however slight, is in no way worth the “reward” of visiting a certain country for vacation. There are plenty of other sights to see on this planet; y’all can come back to the States (if you ever want to - I wouldn’t), when we aren’t kidnapping people off the streets, detaining them without due process, and stop shipping them overseas to countries like El Salvador and Rwanda.
electing him a second time made it so I avoided the US. threatening annexation made it so I boycotted their products. the fascist takeover made it so I won’t even travel there for work
IMO, Canadians are rightfully staying home because of (a) anger over the whole 51st state bullshit, (b) the tariff war, and © the possibility of being unjustly detained without warning in inhumane conditions for an inderminate period of time and with no way of knowing what country you’ll eventually be sent to.

Yes, but you’re also missing (d) a lot of us hated Trump the first time around, and we didn’t visit out of principle alone.
This time it is so much worse.
