Economically dependent on their northern neighbor, business owners in Washington state are laying off employees and shutting their doors.

    It’s not even a boycott at this point, who in their right mind would cross the border and risk getting detained by an unshackled border control and ice.

      Yup. Boycott is only part of it. The other part is that it’s not safe. ICE is out of control and has already sent Canadians to jail for zero reason.

      I’m planning a 15 hr drive next month that I’d normally do thru the US as it shaves a few hours off. But not this time. You literally couldn’t pay me to cross that border - I can’t risk getting shipped off to some concentration camp in El Salvidore because ICE doesn’t like my hybrid car, or whatever.

      Exactly, I wouldn’t visit America for the same reason I wouldn’t visit Afghanistan…it’s a dangerous country run by dangerous religious nut jobs.
