I'm not sure why so much of the comments are about fear of being detained at the border.
I'm Canadian, and it's pretty clear to me that most of us just don't want to give the US our business anymore. At least as long as this whole trade war thing is going on.
- cmrdporcupine 2y agoBecause the stuff that is dominating the news cycle in the US is all about ICE detentions and deportations. That's what's going on domestically. (That and the Signal fiasco) Canada itself is barely a blip on most people's radar, as usual. Many Americans don't seem to have noticed that their official head of state is threatening to annex us and that it's not a joke.
- bcrl 2y agoAnd this is why Canadians are deeply concerned. Nobody is reigning in your leaders that are continuing to frequently repeat comments about annexing Canada and using economic force to do so. I've traveled to the US extensively for work in the past. It's the most inward facing country I have ever seen. The international news items that virtually every other western country reports on the front page of news reports get buried in the USA. Everything we see shows that Americans just don't care about the impact of their actions on people outside of their country, even when those actions are military invasion. It's deeply disturbing to Canadians.
