I hope Canada never forgets that America openly voted for, and celebrated this. I hope we as a nation never trust America ever again.

We should never trust your government, and we should never trust your population to ever do the right thing ever again. I hope this stain lingers on America forever.

That's why I boycott Sony. It's nuts to me that they're still in business after deliberately adding malware to their products.

Trump is the best thing to happen to the CDN economy in 50 years. Tourism way up, and we are severing from US industry irreversibly.

He's the GOAT at own-goals, no wonder FIFA gave him an award.

Oh, you mean tourists coming to Canada and Mexico, not tourists coming from those places to the US. Because Canadians have significantly reduced visits to their southern neighbour (one estimate is that they are down 42%).

ive heard they trying to sell them on the subreddits to related to to fifa tickets. they were mostly laughed at and removed posts.

Empty in the US. Packed in Canada and Mexico!

Should I count myself lucky, the face won't be broadcast in my country.

Sudden vision : Next they will pay people to go and watch so they won't show the failure of empty stadions on every tv around the world.

going to SE asia, japan, or mexico, s america instead. the fact that MSMs arnt reporting all the red states not having tourist is pretty telling how bad it is.

Its on top of a 14% decline the previous year. so thats 1 out of every 5 people who were travelling to the US for any reason in 2024 (including business and family visits which realistically are never going to be cancelled) not going to the US in 2026.

Thats a huge drop.

Yeah my thoughts too, only 5.5%?! wtf world have you not seen the news, run away!

or in an ICE concentration camp, if you a are female you might get sent to breeding fatality in TEXAS.

4 million people are not

I thought they payed you?

Illegal aliens who register for voluntary self-departure through the CBP Home Mobile App will receive cost-free travel, a $2,600 exit bonus

The numbers are comparing 24 to 25 and I’m guessing that a lot of international travel is planned more than a few months in advance. Really big trips may be planned a year in advance. My memory is fuzzy but I don’t think we got to the “oh, shit! They’re locking up random white middle class tourists from the EU, maybe I’ll just take the loss on that non-refundable airbnb deposit“ until maybe last fall?

But you’re right that the numbers are still way too damn high. As a USian I have a lot of be ashamed of and yeah, we should be rioting in the streets but people in real countries shouldn’t get too smug if they can’t even give up Disney World, Jim Beam and Twitter.

For what it's worth, places have had to resort to some crazy deals. I've heard of places in Vegas offering to take Canadians' dollars at par. The exchange rate right now is 1.38 CAD to 1 USD, so that's a pretty absurd discount.

I value my soul and/freedom, so not for me but cheap bastard that I am, I was kinda tempted.

Don't underestimate how much the general population just does not give a fuck about anything but themselves. They wanted that Vegas trip and are either blissfully unaware of current events or they're aware and just don't care, maybe a part of them even agrees with it all..
