"...by suggesting that the northern neighbor and close ally could become the “51st state” of the U.S."

NBC should tell it like it is. Trump didn't "suggest", he didn't "invite". he didn't "ask"--he threatened. Canadians' views on the matter didn't count. All he wants is control over our resources.

minibubbly.bsky.social•5 days ago

True

We travel to Southern Ontario every May and drive through the US. This year, for the first time in a long time, we will be flying and renting a car for our vacation in Ontario. We don't want the hassle of having to deal with Trumps Gestapo at the POE's

Let us get that number 100 billion!

But Russian tourism is up I bet.

Trump doesn’t realize that he has alienated the rest of the world. He believes people love him.

my local radio station in Minnesota talked with a 75 year old family border business today. Canadian traffic down 90%. Feels worse than COVID. Package pick-up services down dramatically due to tariffs on returning goods. Casino empty. Hopefully it's becoming clear this is on Trump. Not Canada!

And the longer USAians support trump, more people from Canada and other countries will realize that trump isn't an anomaly, he and his supporters are a large part of the USA.
It will be generations before the USA can possibly become a good country again.

honestcanadian.bsky.social•5 days ago

And conservative supporters need to pay attention.
Canada also has a huge tourist industry and will benefit from trump's actions.
Vote for PP and we lose both.

Sadly a pandemic couldn’t accomplish the same thing. It really is about money isn’t it? So sad.

marbleball.bsky.social•5 days ago

Never take for granted the economic impact of tourism for leisure or business.

restlessalbatross.bsky.social•6 days ago

So Trump and DOGE have now cost the country 500 billion in lost IRS revenue, plus another 90 billion in lost tourism revenue, and unfathomable billions (many hundreds or more) in lost future trade... SO FAR. As opposed to the 2 trillion it was supposed to save.

LOL. Winning. 🙄

Fuck all y'all until you put your house in order...

It’ll get even worse in a couple of months. We had already made final payment on a cruise when this nonsense started, so we’re still going to Alaska this summer. My principals aren’t strong enough to lose thousands of dollars I’m afraid. If we were booking now we’d definitely choose non-US.

elbowsupcanucks.bsky.social•6 days ago

Bye bye USA!

dublingrl53.bsky.social•5 days ago

I can hold a grudge for as long as it takes.

prairiegirl.bsky.social•6 days ago

Huh. I thought the US didn't need to rely on other countries for anything.

chesh.bsky.social•6 days ago

Would be cool to see all these visits shift from the USA to Canada

The patsy campbell was meant for someone else, sorry

I’m originally from Calgary and i can’t wait to get back there! I’ve got dual citizenship bc i was born in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. I miss the great bread we had in Alberta, as a wheat province, the kind people and my mother’s family who live there. Happy Easter 🐣 to you 👋👍🏼😱💪🦋🦋💕😊

Less $ in tramp’s pockets, lol

Another cost cutting positive for the Trump administration. Assholes!

merlyngabriel.bsky.social•6 days ago

They announced StarWars Celebrations in LA for 2027 and many people in the FB group said no way because of the current travel climate. Everyone who got nasty about it was a white American guy. The mods eventually deleted the thread. Denial is not just a river....

ollie72bskysocial.bsky.social•6 days ago

Why would people come to US to get arrested for no reason and incarcerated!!

jel23.bsky.social•6 days ago

Thanks to USA public television’s Rick Steves, I have discovered all sorts of amazing places in Europe that I want to visit!

theonlyrealtmcmaui.bsky.social•6 days ago

Why is it that simple things like this don't even make it into the minds of this maladministration. The rest of the world doesn't NEED us. Money that would have been spent here will now be available to buy things/vacations from other countries. trUSAmp buys/sells nothing in return. Fart on that deal

wellstella1.bsky.social•5 days ago

I'd rather go to the EU anyways, way more interesting...

annsabados.bsky.social•5 days ago

When Trump said he doesn't need Canada, what he meant was that he doesn't need Canadians. He needs our resources. For a glimpse of what annexation will do to Canadians, look at Crimea.

julwebb43.bsky.social•6 days ago

Good news and I hope soone to ziro.
This is not safe place to visit any more, you mite be pull of street and send to Salvador, pay by us tax payers .

jimvanallen.bsky.social•6 days ago

We didn't start this trade war. And it seems to have grown far beyond a trade war with US arrests and detention of foreign tourists and US citizens.

suebee312.bsky.social•6 days ago

Beyond scary.

s2root.bsky.social•6 days ago

Not just a trade war, it's an act of aggression toward Canada. The annexation threat is real and is being acted on.

Visiting the US as a tourist is a betrayal of Canada's fight for freedom and sovereignty.

hjraymond.bsky.social•6 days ago

Danielle Smith, the Premier of Alberta, is once again travelling to the USA. She continues to court the criminal Trump while betraying every Canadian. If you want to see what Canada will look like if you vote for Poilievre just turn your attention to far right Alberta.

stormdreamer.bsky.social•6 days ago

I know of no tourists who were arbitrarily arrested. Too German girls were detained for improper visa and held until the next flight out. They had a tourist visa but evidence indicated they may have worked as they traveled. Without the proper visa, ur detained and fly on 1st available flight.

truxmintinbox.bsky.social•5 days ago

Maybe read the article then and educate yourself.

stormdreamer.bsky.social•6 days ago

This is normal procedure.

Visa holders are having some issues, but not tourists.

jimvanallen.bsky.social•6 days ago

This is absolutely not normal. Get straight.

jimvanallen.bsky.social•6 days ago

Incorrect. A female Canadian was detained for 11 days. No charge. No due process. transferred between facilities. Shackled.

You can’t trust NBC.
Blackmailed by the Russian Trump White House.
