    I live in an area with lots of Canadian snowbirds and they are pissed.

    Most left weeks earlier than planned this spring because they “feel unwelcome in the U.S.”. Some are selling their properties and others have vowed to not come back as long as the felon’s in office. The reports of ICE detaining international tourists for weeks has made them unwilling to cross the border. Those same people are avoiding U.S. products like the plague while in Canada.

    The felon’s done damage that won’t be easily undone.

      I have a third cousin (genealogy brings different sorts of “family” into your life) who lives in Vancouver. She is the sweetest old lady, feisty, active, and a little on the conservative side by BC standards. Whooo buddy she is heated about all this. She still likes me, and she adores my wife, but she is no fan of America these days and is not shy to Facebook the everliving fuck out of that fact. Can’t say I disagree. :-)

      Can confirm. Before trump seemed like an elected accident. The second time trump is who americans are. It’s a generation of damage. Will never spend money that goes to the states if I can help it
