    Any dollar they get from me can be used to enslave us.

    I know it’s not possible to fully detach but I’m going to avoid it as much as I can.

    Wow, coming up with dumb solutions to self-inflicted problems. Woo.

    Maybe just impeach and remove the problem instead?

    Nice is that would be, you don’t want to do it under the Trump shitministration. Those bastards old deport anybody for any reason, up to and including American citizens now. Granted they’re really scraping the edge on that one, but it won’t be long before they try to really push it.

    I haven’t been since bush Jr. My wife hasn’t been since she was a little girl. My kids have never been. We won’t be starting any time soon or likely ever again. They couldn’t pay us to go. Not to mention our lucky 13 tattoos.

    Yeah no thanks. Im of Latino, indigenous heritage. The moment i cross, they’ll look in my phone, see the anti trump posts, look at my tattoos and it’s off to a Central American gulag for me, and I’m not even joking

      My partner is American (we’re working on that), so I need to cross to visit them. I’m the most “works and office job and doesn’t do much else” looking person you can imagine. I’ve been asked when the last time I was arrested was, how much drugs do I really have in the car when I said none the first time they asked, had them check my trunk and back seats because I handed them my passport funny, and almost been denied entry because I had a dress suit in my back seat.

      I would never risk crossing if I wasn’t a white male at this point.

    Do they actually think minor inconveniences like visa length are what’s stopping us from visiting? Fuck, that shit hole country really is full of idiots.

    Any Canadian traveling to the Fourth Reich for anything other than life-saving reasons is a traitor.

    If Ontario residents stay 7 months, they lose their health care.

    “To qualify for Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) coverage, a person must be a resident of Ontario as defined in Regulation 552 of the Health Insurance Act (HIA). Except for those residents identified in section 1.1(1)(a) below, a resident must ordinarily be present in Ontario which means the resident must make his or her permanent and principal home in Ontario and, with some exceptions, be present in Ontario for 153 days in any given 12-month period.”

    Not that this bill would convince me to ever cross the border again

      And yet, Albertans want to join the US? Do they think they’re going to retain their health care, maternity leave, etc.??? Are they just stupid?
