    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.
