"Steward said those checkpoints come as she has received a 'mountain of hate emails' lately from Canadians who are angry not only at the Trump administration, but also the American people..."

To the one third who voted for sanity, my heartfelt condolences.
I no longer recognise the America I grew up with and admired.
NO CANADIAN IS GOING TO FASCIST AMERIKKKA NOW.
If DOGE wants savings, you can send the Northern border agents home.
You lost your own nation by your own hand, and you sure as hell can't have ours.

But we’re stuck with that. No one has the guts to admit it was a terrible mistake.
Provided you are allowed to vote in 28, at least you’ve got an out. 💙
🇺🇸😢
I'm sorry, but that IS a vast majority, so it is deserved.
Point taken, thanks!
Good neighbours should be able to do these things. I think they need to find a new way.
The longer regular USAians have the same concern of a Susan Collins, the more bewildered Canadians are at what you will tolerate.
Personally I am pretty happy that Trump has made it impossible for me to visit my in-laws in Washington State!
On the other hand, I will miss all the great Americans I have come to know, and love, over the years. not to mention vacation destinations.
A supeemajority didn't. They either didn't care, wanted the other guy, disliked her, or didn't bother voting.
When two thirds of the population are responsible for something like this, it makes sense that we are angry at the lot of you.
We don’t hate Americans who didn’t vote for this, but we hate your leader.
MAGA never travel to Canada. You’re Nazis.
As Americans we have not been good neighbors. At least 40% of our brethren have not.
Look within their own Oval Office.
Trump pardoned mass murder on-line drug lord of Silk Road who facilitated ilegal drug trade.
All started when captured regulators, McKinsey & Purdue conspired to hide OxyContin more powerful & addictive than morphine.
Who ever needed that?
In Canada, Purdue a 🇺🇸company targeted young male tradespeople after an injury. Now on the streets.
Saying China & Canadian super drug labs are the source of U.S. drug problem.
Let’s ignore Thiel’s Palantir & Anduril companies access to intel/foreign govt’s/weaponized drones/autonomous subs, private planes etc to import/export pacific/atlantic/panama
So ya, I’m angry with a large chunk of Americans as well
Don’t come here. Don’t spend your money on American goods. Please boycott us. It’s the kindest thing you can do for us all.
We’ll keep keep buying your stuff ❤️🇨🇦
Love,
Your deranged cousins to the South
I traveled countless times with my extended Dakota family without any issues for myself.
These were for Inipi, Sacred Ceremony. I pray it never stopps

You have to be very stupid to enter the US these days because your chances of coming back are getting slimmer and slimmer 🤬

The French Citroen 2CV art car was displayed today at Import Carlisle. It's a 2 cylinder 4 stroke gas efficient car.
Trailered from CANADA. Was bought from a person in Maine & the front licence plate honors the person who created this art car.
Don't know where it is coming from but doing checks over that isn't going to bring any Canadian money j/s
Republicans are Trump accomplices. They are all in this together. Remember.
>>> This would all STOP if they objected. <<<
They have now become the enemy. Treat them accordingly!
The Authoritarian Capture has happened so fast-we are still in Shock!
🇺🇸😢
Sounds like SOMEONE in CANADA might be importing a rebellious army to fight the Mango Mussolinis dreams of hegemony.
Ok works for me.
Trump just supercharged it, and also finally gave them a real reason.
Any country that’s being affected by the orange fool that red Americans voted for is paying the price for other 🇺🇸 voters’ apathy.
Calling, more SMART people!!!
It's like a bully calling in reinforcements because he's pissed off too many kids in the schoolyard.
Not only did the bully call us names, he took our lunch money (prices are going up in Canada too) and 𝘯𝘰𝘸 he's threatening to accost us on our way 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 school as well.
Let the bully swing first and some boot camp tricks to make that swing his last!
I got to try this out on my way home from school once.
After taking the bully out, I went straight for his next biggest goon.
They abandoned him and ran away!
So my father questioned her and the kids who saw it and when Walter's father called to complain, my father said "Walter, if you want your son to be a bully, teach him how to fight!".
I'll never forget the look of pride on my father's face after he hung up the phone!
I have 10% vision yet went to regular elementary and high schools so it was a struggle for me to compete or even survive... 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥!
Much as I did in my youth, Canada will survive this too!🙇
The US border guards can check all the trunks they want: they won't find an excuse for Trumps behavior towards 🇨🇦.
I actually LOLed when I heard the Yanks were going to build their own aluminum smelter instead of buying Canadian.
Good luck with that, the only reason Canadian aluminum is so economical is that our aluminum smelters use hydro power, much of it excess.
30% trump supporters plus 36% were too lazy to vote.
Let them eat cake and fight over the crumps.
Checks out…
Sidenote that upper WA state is pretty deep red. "Hate" might be inferred into what's really just polite opposition.
Unfortunately, most of us Stateys don't have enough cash in our bank accounts to immigrate to the EU legally and I doubt claiming Trump as a hostile government would get us asylum.
Might be able to escape detection though if I crossed silently at Newfoundland into France.
A CBP spokesperson tells WIRED that the agency plans to expand its program for real-time face recognition at the border, potentially👉 aiding Trump administration efforts to track people who self-deport.

Canada is a bit tougher than one might assume.
Doing a simple calculation tells me 🇨🇦 government actually has more effect on D.T. than those citizens who oppose the oligarchs in 🇺🇸.
🙏
Added checkpoints near Blaine r reminiscent of another time whn it was dangerous for ordinary people like us to resist complying.
Sorry, r friends in Blaine! It is not you we fear!

Please know that 80%of US Citizens do not want what is happening here. I can't blame you for your anger-I hope one day we can regain your Trust🕊️
The church taught them, “she was asking for it.”
🇺🇸😢
Sorry all!
So let's not help him!
This is Trump’s legacy.
Just trying to understand what wasn't clear.
We are too" is not comforting to Canadians when your country has nuclear capabilities and is threatening to invade. So please next time, just don't.
I'm sorry, but a supermajority of Americans is responsible for this shit.
Yours is a minority opinion.
I definitely see a lot of anger towards the administration, the MAGA crowd, and those who didn’t vote. But I don’t see anger for those who voted for Harris. We can see the nightmare you’re living in.
WTF #USA ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Be well.
PS- shopping is not so good here now!
Canadian Citizenship is wildly popular.......😉
The worst is on deck. Let’s set the foundation. I’m not one of those saboteurs. 🇨🇦 + 🇺🇸 = 🏁
Twice.
We got the government WE deserve..
Doubt I'll see Canada in my lifetime now. No Campobello or Nova Scotia for me. Because it's not going to magically get better once Trump and Co. are gone.
The Parks are now open. :)
I do wonder if she's getting pressure and, yes, hate from all the businesses in her town whose clientele dried up overnight though.
The pretext for CBP is fentanyl smuggling. But the reality is the new biometrics being instituted. This is about controlling people, not substances. Remember all that data that DOGE has harvested? Watch out! You’ll be prisoners of the state soon.

No more going 'over the river' or 'through the woods' to grandma's house if it isn't within the same city!
