No thanks

I won't be traveling to the US anytime soon and neither are most of my fellow Canadians. We prefer not to take the risk. 

After being insulted and having our sovereignty threatened we are canceling vacations and selling homes in Florida and other states. Our Prime Minister now talks about the end of business as usual for the long term. 

The bottom line is that we have lost our trust in our southern neighbor and while most of us have friends and family there we don't believe that there is enough stability in the overall society as the empire crumbles. We can't go down with the ship as well as it plays out its Christian nationalism fetish. 

All empires end eventually and they always happen from within. There is an implosion which occurs once they find themselves overextended having overplayed their hand. 

It isn't the end of the country but rather a forced modesty which installs itself once they realize that their place at the top of the heap is over. My own birth nation of Spain had their time centuries ago. 

For Canada having a plan B in making more solid ties with other social democracies will benefit us because we don't like cruelty and authoritarianism isn't something we will ever tolerate. So the UK, France, Australia and others will help fill part of the void left behind.

We didn't ask for this but once here we will see it through.
