A lot of ppl I know are doing similar things. Friends of mine used to cross border shop twice a month, spending hundreds each time. They haven't crossed the border once since cheeto was elected

I have family there. I've told them they're welcome to visit any time. But I won't set foot in that country until they take out the garbage. In November, they thought I was being dramatic. Now they get it. And they will spend money on 🇨🇦 goods whenever possible.

Aldo good for u. Glad they get it now. I think a lot of people didn't realize how seriously po'ed this shit gets us. It'll b interesting to see the difference it makes

I have friends who live in the states (near L.A., on one of the Hawaiian Islands, etc); I don't know if I'll ever go visit them there now

I hope this mess gets sorted out because I promised my kid I'd take her to Hawaii as a gift for graduating from Med School in 2028. I don't want to have to go back on my promise.

Maybe they'll secede if it doesn't? Also (and no pressure on you for this), have you considered alternatives if it isn't? (Assuming your daughter would feel the same way)...

quacktasticfarm.bsky.social•15 hours ago

We have considered alternatives. She wants to spend time in Italy and Portugal. I'd like Spain too.
Or the Seychelles. But that's a far more costly trip.
Maybe we just do Fiji again and bring her this time.
How about we just annex Hawaii? There...thought about it...it's officially done. Lol

This will continue until the tenants in the basement get their 💩 together 🇨🇦

I agree their Prime Minister Spraytan Don needs to get his shit together… and they are our enemies

quacktasticfarm.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Sadly yes. Threaten our country and our sovereignty and you become an enemy. We're fortunate to have such a good global reputation. Now to keep Pierre Putin out of office.

Suggest they use this opportunity to restore regional flights that they cancelled permanently during Covid. Kingston spent millions upgrading its airport for Air Canada and others to accommodate larger planes just before they cancelled flights.

quacktasticfarm.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Omg I'd love that. My kid is at Queen's. And a flight to our closest regional airport is so much better than driving or VIA.

caro-s.bsky.social•15 hours ago

And driving on the 401 is not exactly a walk in the park.

The federal government should offer rock bottom flights to Canada and fill them up with scientists and medical staff fired by Musk. Offer them positions and funding here.

quacktasticfarm.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Agreed. I suspect this might already be in the works. There's an accelerated path to citizenship for doctors, nurses and scientists. I imagine it won't take long for them to come this way.

Cancelled a Cruise out of Miami, operator wanted to know the reason, told her. She said I was the 100th person today who has Canceled travel out of the US.🇨🇦

As an American, I wholeheartedly support every last Canadian neighbor doing exactly these types of actions. Hitting the USA directly in the wallet is the only language the Nazi party down here understands.
