Why would anyone travel to a nation that might arrest you and lock you up for what?? saying something bad about the government one time

    It isn't even lock you up in the US but possibly send you to a slave camp in El Salvador. Why would any Canadian risk that?

    Time for what the US always suggests to other countries - time for Regime Change. Until Trump, his family, and his cronies are out of government, boycott the USA.

    A slave camp or perhaps an execution camp. No one even knows for sure.

    Governor Newsom should look to his own affairs first.

    I wonder, if we were threatening their sovereignty, openly and repeatedly, would they come visit us? No, they'd be losing their minds. I see California as one of the less outrageous parts of the US, but that doesn't mean I'm going to suddenly give up my integrity and self-respect because they need my business.

    If you want Canadians to travel to the US, get rid of trump first. It's not entirely a moral issue anyway, it's genuinely dangerous for foreigners now. Why the hell would I risk my freedom? Because I feel sorry for their economy? No thanks.

    As a Californian - fuck Newsom. He's riding to the right far too much, especially lately.

    My Canadian friends - the US needs you, probably significantly more than you need us right now. Don't back down against the fascism and tyranny; the fact that we're hurting for your money is how you know you're succeeding. Those of us trying to stand up inside the US can use all the external pressure we can get.

    This shift to the right will hurt him. California won't leave him there long.

    They couldn't keep him if they wanted to. California has term limits, and his last term is coming to an end. Now he's trying to position himself for whatever he's doing next, which some suggest is running for president.

    The whole podcast is probably just a big "look Mom, I can reach across the aisle!"

    Don't ever forget that the Democrats are also against us.

    Biden increased tariffs against Canada during his Presidency that Trump had put in place during his first term.

    The US has never, and will never, be a true ally to Canada.

    Why would you visit a state that recently voted to keep prison slavery?

    Pretty hilarious coming from the US governor that's been courting US right wingers on his podcast...

    I get why the gov wants us to come visit. But it's incredibly tone-deaf not to know why it's not happening.

    Mr Newsom must know why that's not happening. He's not an idiot.

    Maybe Hawaii will secede first, and I can take my mom to hanuama bay one last time while she can still travel. I hate that it's the most likely scenario that ends with my mom honouring my uncle - it was his favourite place on the planet - but it's more likely the USA will ditch the U than it will remember the S.

    No. California likes those Canadians spending their sweet sweet dollars in the US. When California leaves the US, then we’ll talk. My boycott of the US lasts a lifetime or longer.
