"It's really all about letting the Canadians know that we miss them, that we don't think of them as a target market, we think of them as neighbors, friends, family. We share a history, we share so much more than just a border," Friede said

Fuck you.

    "Sure, there's that little detail about electing a racist cunt that wants to disappear inmigrants by sending them to prisons abroad without due process just because they are not pure blood murricans but that shouldn't discourage them from coming! Ice is only able to arrest a portion of them!"

    There's no way to ask this without it coming off as a roast, so I'm just going to lean into it: What the fuck do Canadian tourists do in Montana? Look at mountains? Why, did Canada run out?

    Montana borders both Alberta and Saskatchewan. A lot of people on road trips to other destinations in the US travel through there as a result, and may schedule stops at the national parks Montana has for example.

    I do expect the hospitality sector there is being affected more than the tourism sector itself.

    I remember, it had to be early 2000’s, my family and I were down in Southern Saskatchewan. I do not remember where it was but we were close enough to pick up some US FM radio station during the day so we were fairly close to the boarder. Any who we almost went decided to go across the boarder but my parents thought about it and decided not to cross the boarder because we did not have insurance. Now that I am cleverly disguised as a mature adult I would not make a stop in the US even if I had insurance because I could be arrested and thrown in to a detention centre just because I am not a US citizen and I am proudly out as Trans.

    Life goals:

    I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pickup truck... maybe even a "recreational vehicle". And drive from state to state.

    Global Affairs Canada said it's aware of roughly 55 Canadians in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, though it said that the numbers can fluctuate.

    Good :).

    A majority of them clearly don't want Canadians if they voted in that orange turd.

    I'm surprised it's only 33%. Even ignoring the 51st state threats of annexation, ICE is arbitrarily holding Canadians in inhumane conditions with absolutely no due process or judicial oversight. People in ICE detention centres, right now, are being given aluminum foil for blankets to sleep on concrete floors, while being given literally moldy food. A (Caucasian) Canadian died in ICE detention already this year, likely from being denied access to essential medications (anti-seizure meds, iirc?)

    Who the hell are the 67% that are still continuing to travel to the US? Are they clueless, or do they assume they'll be fine since they're white?

    33 is not that much considering all the deportation and locking ups
