Some of the allegations around the Canadian assisted suicides are absolutely indefensible and heinous but a tourist isn’t likely to encounter it.
Even if you support the actions by the Trump administration, honestly especially so given the assertion is the cities are dangerous, it seems reasonable as a tourist to want to avoid countries, like the US, where there are active operations by military and paramilitary forces.
EDIT to increase clarity.

They are snatching people all over the city without warrants. I would not say tourists are unlikely to encounter their operations.
- khannn 11mo agoI'm not glazing ICE by any means, but we have to be real here: the vast majority of people that are being picked up are in violation of immigration law and no amount of "No warrant" is going to change people's mind. The majority of illegal immigration in my location are people overstaying their student visas and they're getting sent back. Saw a former co-worker's wife was sent back, no I didn't snitch, but I don't feel sorry for someone who overstayed a student visa then worked under the table for a decade.
- roxolotl 11mo agoYea totally agree. The comment I was responding to was clapping back about allegations of homeless individuals being pushed into assisted suicides in Canada. That’s what I meant would be unlikely to be encountered. I’ve updated my comment to make it more clear.
