There are similar guides from other organizations as well, if anyone has a link on hand

    As others have said just do not cross the border!

    But maybe your employer requires you to go down there, you have rights in Canada your employer cannot ask you to do something that is unsafe to your mental or physical health and I am sure being put into a situation where your likelihood of being shipped off to a concentration camp is not 0% counts.

    Maybe you have a dying family member, sorry to hear that. You want to see them before they crok then follow the instructions in this article, but maybe start believing in a sky daddy and pray to him that you do not get caught down there. Make sure it is the right version of Sky Daddy, you know the one that gives a shit about you and your adventures into the US.

    Maybe you had plans to go on holidays down there before this poop all started, for that I ask what the Fuck have you been doing to not cancel those plans?

      I have a colleague who said he feels fine going down there for whatever cause he thinks he’ll pass with just how white he looks 🤷 Some people…

        Does he know that white foreigners are also being detained? Like obviously not as much but if they find something they don’t like on you…

          Oh he knew. But he’s also the kind of person who would know how to put up an image when he needs to, and I’m sure he knows how to not prod at tigers (even if it’s just a kitten pretending to be one). There’s some sliminess in him and he knows how to slither his way around things that are potentially dangerous to get what he wants, though at least he doesn’t go around hurting other people.

          Imagine if you had a meme of Trump on your phone rather than Vance, with the latter you get sent home with the former you will get a free trip to Florida to enjoy alligator Alcatraz.

        After Carney and Trump’s 30 day trade negotiations are over I am thinking more Canadians are going to get a free trip to Florida, when they cross the boarder. That trip is not going to be relaxing in any way, they will have to hope to not be eaten by alligators when the wind blows a little.

          I wouldn’t be surprised if there’d be a slight recovery in tourists at all, especially if the negotiations appear to be somewhat smooth.

          This chat with my colleagues about the situation down south and what they’ve been doing with regards to the state just sort of revealed to me that while there are people like us on Lemmy that are repulsed by what’s happening there, there are also people who have closer ties to the US or have frequented the US who try to find ways to tell themselves that they themselves should be fine crossing the border, as long as they get rid of things on themselves that would upset the orange down south. For those with family, I get it. But for those who’re still doing it for leisure, it’s rather clear from the way they’re putting it that they prioritize their own lifestyle over politics, which, tbf, we all have different lines that we draw on that.

          Sorry for making a comment that seems impossible to reply to, but I just needed to get that off my chest.
