I just booked a trip to Victoria today and will be happy to contribute economically to a country that actually respects their citizens. However, I will try to convert money before going so I don’t have to spend US dollars and let people know I’m American.
Plus, if I was running a business, and an American wanted to pay in USD, I would take the cash, but only at par value, hence overcharging Americans. It’s not personal, it’s war (economic, for now).
Always use the host countries currency. Basic respect ☺️
Unfortunately, at least in Seattle and Victoria it has become very difficult to convert cash. It used to be that I could go to my local bank branch. Now, it's very difficult to find a place to do the conversion. It's shameful how one man has brought two friendly allies into such disharmony.
Good. The rest of the world should also. Boycott Israel too. In the UK, I'm boycotting Tesco, Cohen's Chemist stores and others. Where possible, I buy Chinese, European and Asian products. Trump is an arse, Netanyahu is a monster.
right on! Canadians, Europeans ------
make your mark!!!
Send a message to America!
Trumperica sucks!
Yes.
Support the * real * America .....
wait till it returns, god willing ..... I so, so hope . . .
I foresee a formal request for an increase in Canadian and Mexican host grounds for the upcoming Footy World Cup. Not sure ICE has the capacity or capabilities for footy fans when it all kicks off, especially during a national measles crisis?
Talk about 3rd world?!?
Perhaps Canadians have also noticed, from recent events, Habeus Corpus is no longer respected in the USA. Most people do not want to go on a vacation where they may be rerouted to an indefinite stay in a cold holding cell.
In contrast, Americans still seem clueless to this possibility.
The thing that blows me away is the billionaire group think it will be businesses as usual when it's done. They will suffer more than the little people, by a broken normalcy. Many will lose what they have achieved.
It's sad... Of course the money exchange doesn't help but a lot of businesses will be hurt by Don-Old's attitude... Oh he doesn't need up... We'll see. I'm just waiting for this crap to end so we can go back to being us, you and me...
Almost all of my friends who’ve been ‘loyal ‘ yearly visitors AREN’T being loyal anymore and looking down upon the US and pissed off, seriously pissed off. 😡
BTW : They are NO LONGER VISITING THE US . Full stop
I regret that this may affect some jobs in the U.S., but that's the pill Trump has to swallow, not me. More people are suffering more and more every day.
I beg to differ on ONE point... Canadians are NOT forsaking travel, just ONLY to the US. Vacation rentals and air flights have SKYROCKETED to Europe, where THEIR allies are!
They are boycotting American everything. Trump failed to calculate unlimited boycotts as a response to his stupid tariff extortion game. He ran his gambit the first term. Other countries were ready for him this time. Only Americans seemed unable to get the message and avoid his recurrence.
I cancelled 3 trips to the US this year already. I normally travel to the US 4-5 times each year. I am only one person, but it would be 10’s of thousands of dollars lost annually just from my canceled trips. I don’t plan to go back for the foreseeable future.

And none of this had to happen. None of it. If a certain profound asshole hadn’t opened his poisonous mouth and said stupid shit, this wouldn’t be happening.
Yup…planning lots of backyard BBQ’s for our family & friends this summer…planted a “Victory” garden because I think we are going to need all that we can grow!
Go Canada!!...As an Australian, I think we should 'all' be deeply concerned as to how the US is treating its closest geographic ally. Obviously, no one is immune from the 'orange' dictator.
America has a Greater chance of an economic recession, A Greater chance of getting attacked due to National Security breaches and a Greater chance of evolving into an Autocracy!
We're sorry, all operators are busy with taking down fascist would-be dictators and their supporters right now; but your call is very important to us. Please try again at a later time, and thank you for contacting the United States.
If I won a trip to anywhere in the USA, not only would I not go but I wouldn't even be able to give it away. See you in 4 years... Hopefully. #elbowsup

Tourism was worth $2.36 trillion in 2024. It will not be the case in 2025.
But let’s stay optimistic: with the help of Belarusian patriots, Russian oligarchs, and North Korean generals, we’re sure to turn this trend around.
Please.
Thank you.
🤣

Far from-it was two worlds. Yes, not perfect, but from inception, severely broken.
Where BIPOC suffered TERROR daily, all out inequality, injustice, and pure evil/hate for no reason otherthan being alive.
And another world, w/fake unicorns and lies!
They are deporting people to El Salvador without due process. That is beyond extreme and scary AF.
