I'm Canadian and I can tell you Canadian tourism to the States is only going to drastically drop. Snowbirds are selling their American winter homes to buy in Mexico or Asia instead. I have lost count of the number of people I know who have cancelled their summer reservations all over the USA to travel across Canada or visit Europe instead.
In over three decades of living in Canada I have NEVER seen Canadians so proud and united. after the trucker convoy controversy our flag is once again a point of pride instead of shame and are popping up in front yards all around me. For the first time in years Canadians are planning on celebrating Canada Day instead of taking a day or mourning for reconciliation. Hell even Quebec and Alberta are getting along. You know we mean business when Quebecois and our Indigenous populations are screaming their Canadian pride. We are even in the midst of removing many of the interprovince trade barriers that had this trade war not occurred, never would have happened.
Canadians across the country and across the political spectrum have never been so unanimously aligned. I've heard hard up Conservatives that used to have fck Trudeau stickers on their trucks flat out declaring they're proud of him and pissed Trump keeps disrespecting his role by calling him Govenor. I've seen Canadians rally together to buy anything BUT American from our grocery stores for well over the past month to the point some grocery stores are misrepresenting where produce hails from. Canadian produce is often sold out despite being more expensive than the American alternatives.
From the mouth of a Canadian: Americans have no idea just how pissed we are.
You know it's bad when anti-gun Canadians are suddenly lining up to get their gun license.
Or when our water cooler talks suddenly revolve around whether we should be acquiring nuclear weapons.
You especially know it's bad when regular, everyday Canadians, are calling on the King of Canada to speak up for us.
Much less cheer when he goes and wears Canadian military honours while on a naval ship.
The monarch has "ways to demonstrate his support for Canadian sovereignty" after Donald Trump's threats, a historian said.
