    Yeah no thanks. Im of Latino, indigenous heritage. The moment i cross, they’ll look in my phone, see the anti trump posts, look at my tattoos and it’s off to a Central American gulag for me, and I’m not even joking

    Do they actually think minor inconveniences like visa length are what’s stopping us from visiting? Fuck, that shit hole country really is full of idiots.

    Any Canadian traveling to the Fourth Reich for anything other than life-saving reasons is a traitor.

    If Ontario residents stay 7 months, they lose their health care.

    “To qualify for Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) coverage, a person must be a resident of Ontario as defined in Regulation 552 of the Health Insurance Act (HIA). Except for those residents identified in section 1.1(1)(a) below, a resident must ordinarily be present in Ontario which means the resident must make his or her permanent and principal home in Ontario and, with some exceptions, be present in Ontario for 153 days in any given 12-month period.”

    Not that this bill would convince me to ever cross the border again

      And yet, Albertans want to join the US? Do they think they’re going to retain their health care, maternity leave, etc.??? Are they just stupid?

    Don’t go. It’s a trap!

    You couldn’t pay me to ever step foot in that country again.

    The issue that is keeping Canadians away is not how long we can stay in the US visa free. It’s the Trump administration and all the Republicans in Congress that haven’t done a single thing to even try to keep Trump in check.

    I expect brown Canadians and LGTBQ+ Canadians to still be at risk of some ICE shenanigans, so fuck it anyway.
    May the snowbird tourism industry fucking burn, they might as well spend their money somewhere that isn’t hostile to our sovereignty.
