    It bothers me that the government of Canada has not put out a travel advisory warning about travel to the US. They have threatened our sovereignty multiple times, enacted illegal tariffs and kidnapped and detained 150 Canadians this year

    They still list travel to the US as green with a “Take normal security precautions” notice.

    In comparison, Germany is listed yellow threat and states “Exercise a high degree of caution” due to terrorist threats.

    The government of Canada is ranking travel to Germany as being more dangerous than the United States. That’s not just wrong, it’s negligent.

      They don’t want to piss off US any further.

      When daddy is drunk and itching to use the belt, you don’t go around touting him. As clown as that sounds that’s what the foreign office is advising the Carney.

      Plus US corporate lobby wouldn’t appreciate the vibe anyway.

      Geopolitics be like that.

        Canadians are legitimately at risk traveling to the US. By not warning us, our government is undermining our trust in it and putting us at risk.
