I have only one response to this degree of arrogant stupidity:

Real talk: if none of this shit was happening, what possible point of interest in the U.S would actually interest a Canadian vacationer?

  • their giant iconic statue nobody believes in?
  • their garbage filled canyon?
  • their shitty cartoon mouse theme park?
  • their gambling mecca?
  • their polluted beaches?

What's so great about the U.S tourist scene?

    The US has a lot of stunning nature (for now) that I would love to see.

    However, the world has lots of stunning nature and there are many places to enjoy it that don’t arbitrarily hate Canada because some pedophile told them to.

    I kinda liked Yellowstone when I was young. Oh, and I enjoyed Hawaii too (before the snakes landed on Kauai).

    That's about it in 60 years. I really liked Canada's scenery and Europe's culture way more than anything the USA could offer across most of my life.

    their garbage filled canyon?

    This kinda gives away that you don't care about nature. The US has some of the most beautiful national parks. Every time I visited them I saw that many people had traveled from around the world to see them, so it's not just my opinion. You've made a list of city things that no one should care about with one token park, all of them written in the most negative light. I won't be seeing your hate/rage filled replies.

    Real talk: This is a silly, useless, reductive list. I wouldn't have recommended going to the statue of Liberty at any point in time. Probably one of the least interesting things in NYC which is full of interesting things worth travelling to.

    Everything else you wrote is similarly focused on the negative aspects of attractions that only the most boring tourists would care about anyhow, except the Grand canyon which you're dismissing as "garbage filled". Nothing I noticed on my trip there... Not to mention that almost any garbage there was put there by tourists.

    There are several excellent national parks that everyone who can make it to should see. That doesn't mean it's worth the risk doing it right now, especially for some people, but what exactly is the point in pretending the US has nothing of value? Just signaling you hate America to all the other America haters? Pretty weird this got any upvotes tbh. Imagine someone writing that BANFF is a piece of shit second rate park. 1) you'd instantly know they're lying 2) you'd think it would take a weird motivation to tell such a lie.
