Summary

Canadians are boycotting U.S. travel in response to Trump’s tariffs and policies. A recent survey found 59% are less likely to visit the U.S. this year, with 36% canceling trips.

Airlines report declining demand, and tourism-dependent regions like Florida and New York’s Thousand Islands are adjusting marketing strategies.

Some Canadians refuse to even transit through the U.S. Businesses in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda are benefiting from the shift.

Critics argue Trump’s policies are harming American tourism and local economies.

yet they have no problems letting us protect them or take our money

You don't pay us for NORAD dipshit. We've been trying for years and the US won't pay up. We host your nukes, your early detection warning systems, for FREE.

Parasite.

Canada, at least publicly, stopped hosting US nukes in 1984.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago

Ah that's true, good point. Got a bit carried away.

We still aren't paid for the rest of our NORAD hosting though, nor the highways we have to maintain to Alaska, nor...

Can you explain how Canada has been taking your money?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 week ago (2 children)

We've been selling them stuff.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] RamblingPanda 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yeah, we Europeans did that as well. How dare we...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

It's not too late for us all to do better. 😉

The US is the only NATO country to ask for help. Try again.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 week ago

This is the Canadian instance, go back in your hole troll.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have lots of problems with that. I don't want anything to do with any of you fuckhole Americants. We don't fucking need you, but you asswipes just can't go a day without trying to take what's not fucking yours, you fucking kleptos.

Fuck all the way off, and once there, eat every bag of dicks.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

As an American, thank you, couldn’t agree more…
p.s. please send a regime change… this election was stolen and there’s a lot of conclusive evidence now. see also r/somethingiswrong2024

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

You're living in just about the only country in the world where it's absolutely 1000% certain that no outside help is ever going to come.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

America isn't "protecting Canada", it's using Canada as a buffer between itself and Russia.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Are they in need of a buffer?, the Russians occupy the white house.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Well, now, yeah.

Maybe that's why Trump wants to annex Canada - to get a shortcut to his buddy Putin

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Who allowed Donald to get a lemmy account?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

It's not good for his mental health to be in this environment.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 week ago

Why don’t you go post on an American social media site instead

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago

HOW ABOUT THIS. PULL OUT OF NATO AND LET FUCKING GO OF BEING THE WORLD POLICE THEN. NO ONE CARES WE WILL DEAL WITH IT.

[–] Haess 25 points 1 week ago

Lol. Easily disprovable lie, but go off.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

It's so refreshing when trash declares itself so readily and so loudly.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

Seppos are not welcome here

But really, how the fuck do I completely block lemmy.ml?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

This bud isn't representative of .ml though. They're generally commies whereas this friend is something quite different. They probably don't know what .ml stands for. 😂

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I blocked the instance a while ago but it doesn't seem to block the users.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

That's my experience too

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The u.s. spent less than the EU, on the Ukrainian war.

Of course you would! As an Americant, we are well acquainted with the scales you things use to impart value on the universe. We all know it's dollars. We know you're a shallow, transactional thing who has no capacity for self-reflection or any internal state other than "ME WANT MORE STUFF". It's trite, boring, predictable and consistent with my beliefs that you're a weird, big-forehead-having subspecies (heavy emphasis on sub here). Homo sapiens americantus: the fail ape.
