For treating my wife and I and friends like family. Went to the misty city music festival in Niagara and everyone was super nice. But dang though. Its an expensive city. Talked to probably 100 people and they all said they would vote for Trump if they could. Granted these were country music folks so their politics are maybe different than a lot of other Canadians. Anyway, cheers! |

ProTip: Never pick a fight with a tree planter. He swings a hoedad for 9 hours a day, carries 30-40 pounds of seedlings on his back, and has 12-14 friends just like him hiding out on the other side of the junk butt pile. They will fuck your shit up.

I went to snow Mexico last year. People were kind and welcoming. Customs was way more discriminating on the way into Canada than it was coming home. Id go back. Its an interesting place. Wouldn't want to live there....people drive way too slow. What is up with the speed limits up there there. Its literally out in the tundra...who cares about driving fast? |

My wife and I used to go to a Shakespeare festival in Canada in the summer. Canada was a mix of conservative rural people and harmless liberals. The Canadian dollar was pretty worthless. Everyone was nice. I think like upstate NY a lot of harmless nice Canadian liberals went crazy during COVID and Trump. |

You're all for strict border controls on your side, but you should be able to waltz into any other country anyway you like..? Its not like I'd be welcome to carry my firearms into the US unfettered... Lol. |

Rural Canada isn’t like that at all. |
