    I’m Canadian, and I plan to never visit the USA again.

    Ever.

    There is no “…until” for me. The world without the US is easily big enough for me.

    Two places I always wanted to see were New Orleans and Hawaii. The latter might end up breaking away, but New Orleans is probably off my list forever.

      Honestly, same. I already cancelled Florida and Arizona trips for later in the year and told friends in Phoenix that I’ll likely never be back. We’ll probably make plans to meet up elsewhere.

      This is the republican party now. And Trump may not even be the worst to come. We already see his goons waiting in the wings. Political whiplash is the new normal in the US, and i feel like we will see the division continue to exacerbate over the next few decades for them domestically until something gives.

      I hope we in Canada take this new reality seriously and prepare ourselves appropriately as we enter the 30’s.

      Yeah, New Orleans was also on my bucket list of places I wanted to visit. I had originally planned to go last year but then opted to go to Spain instead.

      I am with you on that. My regret is not visiting Yellowstone earlier…

      Even with the orange turd gone, the people who elected him and empowered the republicans to do this mess are still there…
