The quickest way for blue states to get Canadians to visit again is for them to secede from the union.

Yes I am including the time it would take to resolve a protracted civil war and then rebuild.

It's funny too, that most of these people probably regularly refer to their current government as fascist.

Would they have travelled to the "welcoming parts" of Germany in 1937?

Do they not believe what they're saying, or are they just incapable of basic reasoning?

People here are not complaining about "hurt feelings" or the finer points of free trade deals. We're grappling with the idea of being killed by american soldiers or sent to a death camp. There's no amount of liberal apologies, "Canadians welcome" signs, or free parking that are going to change that. If these people are so concerned about Canadian visitors, they need to pull their heads out of the sand and fix the fucking problem.

Did it ever occur to anyone to actually go to Canada to ask?

Look I'm sure these people are nice enough, but are they just totally oblivious? Or is this a weird selective sample by Klepper?

This is not a question of value for money where you're gonna lure Canucks across the border. The few Canadians they found down there to interview couldn't articulate the issue because the *type* of Canadian who's gonna border hop for a beer festival are, frankly, naive shitheads.

I think everyone needs a reminder that fascists don't need "an excuse" to do fascist violence. Fascists do fascist violence when given opportunity, not when given pretext.

This is not some "start" to political violence. The fascists are already doing fascist violence, and have been for quite some time.

They will likely claim it as their reason for new violence, yes, but you shouldn't take fascists at their word. That would be a gravely dangerous misunderstanding of fascist behaviour.
