    Before retiring, I was looking at converting a van for living in full time. Quartzite, AZ is a popular place with nomads. Now, it’s just too risky for a Canadian. Oh well, Trump saved me the trouble of obtaining a passport.

    We’re doing our yearly Montreal - Winnipeg drive this summer.

    We usually stop in Chicago for 3 days on the way back. This won’t be happening. I miss Chicago, but it’s really not worth getting my rights violated at the US border.

    I’m near the border. Haven’t crossed over since the annexation threats, and may never cross again. I don’t think it’s even safe any longer.

    Canadians have been avoiding US travel in response to Trump’s policies on tariffs and annexation.

    And the whole ICE gestapo thing.

    How does a boycott “get intense”? It’s explicitly the absence of activity.

      Well, there have been consistent drops in the number of returnees each month. So as such, our absence INTENSIFIES.

    Let’s see if that title can be the same for May, than again June, than July, and so on and so forth. September will be the real be the real test to see what the snowbirds do.

      Friendly note that both your uses of “than” should be “then”. “Then” indicates the sequence of events, as in I went to the coffee shop and then the mall. “Than” is used for comparison, as in apples are better than oranges.

          Thanks, I wouldn’t call a bird that migrates south during the winter a snowbird (ok, also not a beachbird) so that clarifies why I was confused.

      Believe it or not, but there’s people that really just don’t give a fuck about anything but themselves (which is kind of ironic, really) and want to visit and buy US shit and they don’t care about what trump is doing.
