Well people don't want to be sold into slavery to El Salvador. Big surprise!

Those charts are soon going to look a lot worse. I know of many people who had already paid for their vacation before the tariffs were announced, so they went anyway. New bookings for flights from Canada to the U.S. are down over 70%.

If you enjoy the risk of getting suddenly jailed NK or Iran are way better.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Iran has better food anyway.

This is statistically not true.

Incarceration rate per 100k:

  • US 541
  • Iran 228
[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Actually, since ICE isn't sending people to trial, they might be lowering the US statistic lol.

So not only are you safer from getting arrested in Iran, but you're more likely to receive a trial.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

You just made me realize there's less chance to get imprisioned as a tourist in NK than in USA right now xD

US border is asking questions about your opinion of Trump. No other country does that, even if going out of your way to bad mouth their leadership won't be appreciated.

The answer "it's none of my business, you guys elected him." resulted in being turned away from the border.

My country is vast. My country is huge. My country is beautiful and welcoming too. My country wonโ€™t jail you because of your thoughts. My country is Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ and we have amazing vacationing spots.

And people should go there ASAP, as pretty soon they'll probably have to worry about some Belarus-style shenanigans happening as their flight transits US airspace.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Plus, mention you came instead of going to the US and get treated like royalty.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

It is however extremely expensive.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Extremely expensive? Not a chance.

Canada is one of the cheapest developed countries to visit.

All those ungrateful tourists that can't stand the idea of getting mistakenly deported into a High Security Salvadoran prison and then being left to rot there because 'yeah, it's kinda annoying but we can't get him back, you know'.

If I were the all-mighty orange dude, I would put a 146% tax on every single tourist that is refusing to come spend their money in the USA! They're nothing but traitors! They should pay! And maybe I would invade their country, to show the world who's the boss.

I don't blame any non-American for staying out of the insanity soup going on here.

Even as a middle age, "white privilege" guy, I'm concerned about traveling outside the U.S. and coming back through immigration. I'm liberal, protester, and strongly anti-Maga on the socials.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I won't set foot on US soil again as long as Trump or any other conservative is running this country.

It's not even just about how you get shafted at the border nowadays. I simply don't want to visit a country that is ruled by misanthropic fascists.

And I think that many people will probably feel the same way.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Yep. For the same reason I wouldn't visit Russia, Turkey, and the likes.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Even though I'd really like to aside from the regimes.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I wanted to visit before the collapse, but it didn't work out for multiple reasons.

Now I'm doubly sad that I didn't go. Because if I would indeed decide to go now, it would be a coin toss if a random typo in some papers would land me in a gulag

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

That whole "throwing people in jail for weeks for thought crime" thing isn't as inviting as Trump thinks, apparently.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Straight from Musk's playbook of business success.

"I've let all the Nazis back on Xitter. Wait! Advertisers! Where are you going?!??"

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

How long until they start suing tourists for not going to the US?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I'm an American who has traveled to Europe a few times since Trump. I talked with a few Europeans about our president and all but one were not shy about disliking Trump. The only exception was a polish man who honestly seemed like not the greatest guy. MRA type from my interactions with him. Trump is more unhinged than ever so I wouldn't travel here. I absolutely think about the politics of a place and how it could contribute to things going wrong when I travel abroad, so I get it

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Only 20 to 30%?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I don't blame anyone, there is no need to personally see the circus that is our country currently. Watch the circus from stands unless you want to be a part of it.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

no shit, dont want to have some border police going through my phone and putting me on detention only to deport me back later

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

If you're lucky you'll be deported back to your own country.

I don't blame a single person for not wanting to tour the US ATM.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Disneyland tickets are now affordable?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

i really hope the majority of countries boycott the 2028 games and don't show up in la.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Nazi Germany, China and Russia/Soviet Union set a rather bad precedent for this.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Attendance will double you say?

[-] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

Yeah, I bet barely anyone will boycott it.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Not even CA can stop the ICE from harassing people at airports.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Admittedly surprised. I thought it would be like the Bush years when they proclaimed their distaste of the US while still dreaming about living/visiting places like New York and LA.
