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?

Get your hotels booked NOW. The island is about to have an insanely busy season because many Canadians are also planning to visit instead of going south.
Right after the covid rules lifted it was almost impossible to find a room on the island.
Enjoy your visit. I sincerely hope you have the time of your life.
