While Canadians are using “elbows up” diplomacy with the white house, they are welcoming U.S. tourists with open arms.

    I’ve always wanted to go visit our neighbors to the north, but honestly, I’m now scared of just trying to return. Much love to you all in Canada.

        I thought the implication was being detained or jailed by US officials going back, like being sent to an El Salvador prison.

        We’re aware you all are having a housing crisis. It wouldn’t be fair to dump a lot more of that issue on you.

        Although I would certainly love to move up there if I had a choice.

          We’re having a housing cost issue, but despite all reports saying there is a shortage of houses - I don’t know if I believe it. Maybe in specific areas and maybe of a certain type.

          But everywhere around me houses are sitting and sitting and sitting until the sellers lower the price enough that someone buys it.

      American citizens haven’t been getting detained at the border like people from outside the states and I doubt they ever will be. Secret police can just scoop you up on the streets if they really want to go after you
