Good.
Elbows up! Thank you Canada. At least one country in this world has principles and courage.
1 quarter of the amount of travel? Heads would roll normally if it was 5%.
There's been a few things I've wanted to cross for, even seriously considered it once 2 months ago until my wife said absolutely not.
What's sad is I wanted to visit Florida, NYC, and a few other spots. I doubt we'll ever go back now.
You're not missing much skipping out on Florida. Its like California except all the people in charge of the place have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. You'd be much better of visiting Cali/Hawaii or somewhere along the coast of Mexico.
Maybe someday friend, but you've made the right choice for now. There are still good people here.
My mom is getting close to where she can't fly anywhere anymore. But she misses my uncle, and she misses the place he loves the most, a bay near Waikiki where he used to swim and where my cousin learned to swim, amid the huge fish and turtles.
But until Hawaii secedes, we can't go. She'd like to see it one more time before she dies, though, and repeat the stories about my uncle who died after getting injured in UNAMSIL.
As a long time NYer (I miss it) who now lives in Toronto, just take a day trip to Toronto. Nearly everything is better here. It's smaller for sure, but the trees don't look like they want to die and the smell of piss doesn't permeate the air for half the year. It's also slightly cheaper. The two cities are very diverse and share a lot of the same culture
Tank us, Canada. We really need to hurt before Conservatives can be held accountable.
Yeah except they'll just blame Hillary's emails and Obama's birth certificate or some batshit fuckwadery why they beg for another Trump Stimulus check.
I'm from Missouri, a state under solid Republican control for 40 years. Do not underestimate a conservative's ability to accept life getting measurably worse so long as the TV keeps telling them what they want to hear
My father often bikes up to Canada, which means crossing the border. (obviously)
Normally, there's a long line of cars, and a bit of a wait.
There wasn't a single person in front of him when he got there, and just 2 cars waiting when he came back.
I had to travel to the US for work. I hated being there.
I'm going to be asked to do the same - a few short stints - and I've been seriously risking taking a stand and saying no.
My work asked me if I would travel to Las Vegas and I flat out told them no, and told them why.
I wish I could have said no.
I'm glad you made it back without being deported to el Salvador
As an American, same.
