Why on earth are Canadians STILL in the States? Get out of there! Like, WTF are you doing? You are in a HOSTILE country, and you will not have a good time there.

Unfortunately some of us have family there, and while it's easy to think "well fuck it I won't go visit", it's not always so easy. Family gets sick, dies, etc.

I totally get that, but it's still a massive risk. Going to see your sick family member might mean you'll be held in a detention center. Is it really worth it?

Yeah I'll let pop pop die alone in the hospital, you're right.

Would you rather pop die alone in the hospital knowing that you're in a concentration camp? Come on man, think.

They are treating ordinary Canadian citizens as criminals. It will be a risk. And if you're willing to take that risk, you have to be willing to take the consequences that are pretty much well known at this point.

Yeah, I know what I'm risking. Go touch grass and learn how to grow some fucking and empathy for people.

I don't know if you're being serious or not, but I can't imagine doing something, knowingly, that would cause emotional distress to a loved one.

You have to consider the effort that someone else in your family will have to go through in order to attempt to get you freed from a country under a hostile dictatorship.

Again, perhaps this is worth the risk. I wouldn't want any of my family travelling anywhere to see me, if it puts their life or freedom at risk. This isn't a movie.
