- StayTrue 2y agoDo you feel an injustice has been perpetrated against you? The Canadian attitude towards admission vis a vis DUI convictions predates the first Trump administration by a lot. OTOH Victoria schoolchildren used to do cross border field trips. They ended the practice during the Trump Muslim ban to avoid trauma to kids.
- linotype 2y agoAnd this predated the Trump administration. Just seems hypocritical that other countries are allowed to police their border crossing but the US isn’t.
- BLKNSLVR 2y agoI doubt anyone here is saying that. It's that the rhetoric coming from Trump which, through significant threats to the on-going employment of anyone deemed to be not enthusiastically complying with these daily-updated mandates, increases the likelihood of un-justified "bad thing" happening upon attempting to cross the border to the US. Basically, the current regime makes it unpredictable, which increases risk. Increased risk = decreased likelihood of related action. I'm not sure how far off topic we've gone, but "Canadian Devs backing out of attending GDC" would also have a protest aspect to it due to DJT's belligerence towards Canada.
