Miffed Canadians are opting out of American vacations as President Donald Trump imposes tariffs on their country to protect his own nation and its people. The Canadians’ decision not to visit America is having an effect on air and land travel as they push back against the tariffs levied against their nation, the New York Post reported on Saturday. (X) On January 31, the White House confirmed that Trump was preparing to impose fresh tariffs on major U.S. trading partners in an effort to shield American industry and national security, per Breitbart News’s John Carney:

Pretty sure Canada relies on tourism from the US more than we do on theirs. Good luck with that.

Even though Nova Scotia is still on my bucket list, I’ve been nixing Canadian vacations ever since Justin Castro has been in charge and has been putting its citizens in jail for thought crimes.

Are the “mad as hell” people the same ones who refused to allow through during the pandemic? If so, stay home, American doesn’t want you. If you are a different group of brainless Trump-haters getting paid to protest, stay home. In fact, just stay home.

They're mad as hell about PDJT trolling Justin Trudeau with talk of being the 51st state... while not paying any attention at all to the fact that their governing coalition has already sold out their sovereignty to China, making Canada effectively an overseas 23rd province of China... with laws permitting Chinese drug lords (and their Mexican counterparts) to bring fentanyl precursors *legally* into the port of Vancouver, manufacture pills in factories in BC that are presently being scaled up to flood North America, and after that, launder profits easily through the Canadian banking system back to China. Nice, going Canada. You dolts should be so lucky as to become the 51st state. Instead, you're heading for a sealed off, militarized border and a trade embargo.

I know I'll get backlash for this but it was not a good idea for Trump to start talking about Canada as the 51st state. Trudeau was on his way out to be replaced by Pierre Poilievre who is a staunch conservative and would have been a natural ally of the US. How would anyone in TX feel if Mexico started talking about making it a Mexican state?

#17: No backlash here. Bombast is a character trait that serves PDJT and his agenda 99.5% of the time. Nobody's perfect, though, so we have to take the 0.5% downside when it happens. In the case of Canada, you may be right, but all indications are that the governing coalition is going to delay elections for up to another 18 months, when they can no longer be put off. PDJT has seen the scourge of fentanyl and the pain it has caused to Americans and he knows that Canada is an emerging narco state that will eclipse even Mexico soon unless it changes course. Sadly, polls in Canada are showing that its public are dumbed down sheep being led to a slaughter by their governing coalition and its Chinese pay masters.

Well the result will be a lot more lodging facilities open next summer in the USA for vacationing Americans. We are going to the East Coast this coming summer to visit with family there, and we were going to travel through Canada from Winnipeg, stop in Ottawa, and then continue East and reenter the USA through a port of entry located along the Maine or New Hampshire border. With the current uncertain political situation we now plan to stay in the USA all the way out and back. I hate to see that situation fester as my grandmother was from Nova Scotia.

There is reportedly trouble on the set of ABC News’s The View, where the hosts have loudly voiced their criticisms of President Donald Trump — whom the show hosted years ago. The New York Post said Friday the hosts have been pressured to cool it with their rhetoric against Trump, while morale is also apparently suffering after layoffs and decisions to cut costs. The Post article read: One source close to the show’s co-hosts — Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro — said the fear and loathing is partly because Brian Teta, executive producer of the daytime gab-fest, spoke to staffers

I’ve written about how the left uses language to (often falsely) shape political and social narratives. Abortion is “health care.” Illegal aliens are “undocumented citizens.” The homeless are the “unhoused,” or recently and more and more ridiculously, “people experiencing homelessness,” while people who have ties to Latin America are “Latinx” (although most Latinos in reality want nothing to do with the term). One the silliest arguments they regularly bring forth, though, is regarding the term “woman”—what does it mean? Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson doesn’t know; meanwhile, many leftists define it as “anyone who identifies as one.” Right. Enter Wisconsin Gov.

Renowned Democratic strategist James Carville has delivered a stunning prediction that the Trump administration is in the “midst of a collapse” and will crumble within four to six weeks. Carville, 80, on Friday urged his fellow Democrats to play “possum,” clear out of the way and let Republicans implode as President Trump plows ahead with his dramatic overhaul of the federal government. “What I have said very publicly is that Democrats need to play possum. This whole thing is collapsing,” Carville mused to Mediaite founder Dan Abrams.

After the death of George Floyd in 2020, Brown put out a video in which he focused on his own trials and tribulations as an African-American, and concluded by saying that he wanted "to lead and listen to necessary conversations on racism, diversity, and inclusion."
