While Canadians are using “elbows up” diplomacy with the white house, they are welcoming U.S. tourists with open arms.

I’ve definitely thought about it, but am currently far too embarrassed to be a US tourist, especially in Canada. I really should, though, I’d much rather give Canada my money than the US.

Don’t be. As long as you aren’t wearing MAGA or Trump gear, we’ll assume you’re one of the good ones.
Besides, MAGA are probably too scared to come to woke Canada.
If you do, just be vocal with

Canadians know it’s not necessarily the citizens, but the one in control. Don’t wear any flag clothes, be polite and nobody will care much less notice.
The correct feeling is shame. We should be ashamed of this country and its people.
Don’t worry, I have that too. My feelings lately have been a mix of shame, embarrassment, and depression. Oh, and rage, how could I forget.
No worries eh, we get it. Come on over!
Plus, if you need to buy absolutely anything, enjoy a nice discount on our non-tariffed goods - iphones, spices, car tires, fill your boots.
Just don’t take the boxes with you. You came over with all that capiche?
For other Americans that don’t speak British English, in this case “boot” = the trunk of your car.Edit: apparently this is incorrect, however to quote the dictator of Liberia in the movie Lord of War: "Thank you, but I prefer it my way "
Hey, we’re not THAT British. We just like to sprinkle some 'u’s into our words to make them more colourful. A boot goes on your foot and it is also how you pronounce about.
Yeah, fair enough. Someone else told me the origin of the phrase. I’ve somehow managed to avoid it for 44 years. It just made more sense to me to be the British usage of the word. More space to carry stuff in.
In the west we say “a boat”
I was today-years-old when I realized what that phrase really meant.
Except in this case where fill your boots refers to either a mug, or literal boots. It depends on where you think the origins of fill your boots come from.
It’s either a sailors reference (mugs for rum) or a military reference (steal everything and fill your boots.)
Nothing to do with cars, but yes UK uses boot for the trunk of a car. Just doesn’t apply to this idiom
Also, bootlegging.
Just don’t wear an American flag on anything and you’ll be fine!
And say ‘please’, ‘thank-you’, and ‘sorry’. And hold open doors. We’ll never know.
That’s how we roll in minnesota anyways. So what kind of fun things are there to do in Thunder Bay?
Also shoes off in a home.
I’ve been doing that for years (my ex was Korean, and she got me to make a habit of it)
This is mostly true, haha. Though…
I held open a door in Canada and got berated for it by someone in their 40s. He wanted me to slam the door in his face, which I get if it was an apartment on the east side of Vancouver, but this was not the case, lol.
I’m always amazed that Canada has more extreme personality types than where I’ve lived in the US. Generally people are more nice, but the mean ones are jaw-droppingly mean, lol. Always gives me a bit of culture shock whenever it happens, which is probably once every 10 visits or so (I visit often).
The most recent one was someone who was extremely bothered that we rented out a space for a wedding and admonished the groom that he was using a community space an hour before it was set to open (we got permission from the landlords to use it as such.)
All that aside, Canada is not for sale, Fuck those cunts in the Trump administration, and you guys were fully justified for what you did in 1812. 😎
Yeah but you definitely want to hit up canda first so you can get enough stuff to look canadian when going anywhere else.
Don’t want you here, bye.
Don’t want you here, bye.
This is not how we represent Canada. It’s also not proper English with that comma splice, but that’s just icing on the masquerade cake.
