As an American, I am constantly disgusted by how the chuds of my country are using their power to harm as many people as possible. Canadians and Mexicans have been our longest allies and the fact we are treating them like this is unacceptable.
"Guernsy County" - yeah, that checks out. People need to realize that Ohio is three enclaves of sanity surrounded by Nazis.
Guernsy is an economically flailing and failing county that has gone completely unabashedly Nazi.
Those poor singers were unlucky to encounter the two stupidest patrol officers in Ohio. For goodness sake, the singers are CANADIAN--what are they supposed to say?
This shit was exactly what I was worried about if I were to visit the US, even more than immigration officials (until the recent stories came out). Cop stops me for who knows what reason. Sees my driver's license has an X as the gender marker. Hijinks ensue.
Yeah I would not read any more into this in terms of ~directives~ or ~intelligence~ or whatever beyond the vast majority of US local cops are dipshits who shouldn't have graduated high school and who marinate their brains in far right media 30 hours a day
Canadians should take the same approach to US travel right now as they should've been taking re: China at least since the Michaels got grabbed, but that's 50% because of federal border fuckery and 50% because if you get pulled over the local yokels will treat you like this
Drug sniffing dogs are very unreliable and often respond to non-verbal clues by the handler who wants there to be drugs. There were studies about that.
Of course, nobody shifted the dogs out because finding drugs was never the point.
Nevermind. Saw it was local Sherriff Deputies. Rural counties setting up speed traps on interstates is a long time issue and a lot of these guys are idiots. There is actually no reason for Sherriff deputies to do traffic enforcement on the highways. OHP is everywhere in that is their main job.
This is what a fascist police state looks like. They were let go because they're white, but if they were brown they'd have been arrested, beaten, kidnapped, and possibly killed.
There are some parallels - it's also an authoritarian hellscape with concentration camps and disturbingly brainwashed people who'll believe anything the Dear Leader says.
They’re a hereditary monarchy that treats its working class population as disposable serfs and engages in bloodline punishments for transgressions such as having the audacity to want to leave the country without permission. You do not, in fact, have to defend that nation.
Go move there then if you think it’s a communist utopia. You can just book a flight through numerous European countries, they have a tourism and immigration system. Nobody is stopping you lmao
Yep. That's why I put the last bit. Two members of my immediate family are trans, so we also need to be vary "selective" when we book restaurants and travel.
I don't get it. I mean, I do, but it's so broken and opposite that the trans community is anything but warmly welcomed places.
cops is Vermont are killing cyclists because they’re watching Matt Walsh videos while driving, now cops think that Canada is sending drugs because Dead Leader said so
are they sapient? are they p-zombies? what is going on

Second - as an Ohioan, this tracks for Guernsey County.
Canada *must* prepare though for if we cannot stop them.
Cop looks and screams “WE HAVE A POSITIVE DETECTION!”

Absolutely cursed place.
Or are you needlessly repeating jingoistic narratives about a foreign country which you have never been too?
Honestly, the fact that you would use this as an insult in this context is absolutely flabbergasting.
Also, many of us from the US will start avoiding travel to states that allow or enable this bullshit.
Maybe “start” isn’t the right word.
Most blue cities are WAY safer for LGBTQ. We're in Chicago.
We also travel to Michigan a lot, where we need to avoid certain suburbs.
In fact, blue cities are mostly safer overall for people who understand what per capita means.

no really I am curious
