    Interesting that they would be confused at all. I have an interest, because Canada is cool, but I won’t be visiting anytime soon because I know we are the worst and nobody is going to want us there. I also don’t want to deal with assholes at the border, even though I’m a US citizen they have carte blanche to do anything they are in the mood for.

      Canadian here- don’t get us wrong, boycott aside you are more than welcome to visit and we will be kind and gracious to you when you arrive. Spending money in Canada is our favourite way for you to express your solidarity.

      I’m not visiting canada because I’m afraid to come back. American border security gives 0 bucks about citizenship anymore

      This is not the way things work. I don’t think there is a dislike of the population in general, and in real life, if you’re spending your money, no business is going to refuse or mistreat you.

      Honestly, we’re generally fine with individual Americans that are respectful. Not many of us, if any at all, will be rude towards you unless you’re an openly hateful Trump supporter.

      I certainly don’t judge Americans who come here unless they’re acting MAGAish (wearing the hat, American flag clothes, etc).
