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

    I genuinely think that I’d be better off seeking asylum in another country, even though I’m pretty comfortable in the US. I’d certainly be having fewer panic attacks.

      Sure, and that’s something you can decide to do.

      The point is there’s a very big difference between deciding to leave the country permanently to a chosen destination, bringing what you can with you; vs leaving for a short holiday and suddenly being told what you thought was home won’t let you return.

      Worse; just because you’re in Canada on a visitor’s visa and the US decides it’s doesn’t want to let you back in, doesn’t mean you’ll just be turned around and accepted back into Canada (or wherever you’re visiting) instead. You may just be detained by US authorities and deported to wherever they decide.
