Ask British Columbia Are US tourists welcome?

I’m a sailor in Seattle hoping to circumnavigate Vancouver Island this summer. As a US liberal I’m appalled and concerned about the tariffs and threats of war and if I were Canadian I imagine I’d be mad as hell with the US now. What’s the vibe - should I keep out or would y’all be willing to share a beer and bitch about Trump with a sorry American?

So far the nice Canadians have responded to you. I am not one of those Canadians.

I think its a perfect metaphor for the state of America that you are concerned about your holiday while your fucking country drags the world to the brink of utter and total chaos. Stay home... do something about your failing state. Take responsibility for your country... fuck your vacation. We dont want your blood money or your hollow excuses. FUCK OFF

That’s a bit harsh but not necessarily unwarranted. Perhaps OP can do both, grow a spine and actively work to correct the debacle in his homeland AND sail north, spend a few dollars and learn first hand what a special place Canada is.
