Boycott US
Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Sure, MAGA fascists don't have to make a lot of sense, but what's the point of forcibly bringing in people you'd want to send out on a plane anyway, when it was planning to do that in the first place? I think that should be obvious to even the most faithful followers.
Anyway, as a thought experiment, if you love being seated on planes but you think US airspace stinks, you can go from Mexico City to Toronto via Bogotá and Paris or Madrid if you are okay with passing above Puerto Rico only.
Or, to avoid it completely, you can go to Panamá, Rio de Janeiro, Lisbon, then Toronto. Now to compare flight prices and travel times (won't include any layover time, price is lowest baggage tier, random dates in October)
Or Cuba? Or any number of other places that are actually somewhat enroute instead of making up idiotically convoluted and long routes?
The question is specifically how to avoid US airspace. There are plenty of direct flights from Latin America to Canada but they all pass through US terrestrial or oceanic airspace.
So you can stop at Havana or Varadero, but then you'll still be passing over the Florida, North Carolina and New England coasts controlled by US-towers, on your way to Canada. It's so far an unfounded fear but I'm entertaining it just to see the circuitous route you'd need to take to avoid it.
