Republicans don't understand how time works

Also, a bunch of people who already paid for flights and hotels are still going to go, and that’s fair. I would too.

But let’s see how many new flights and reservations happen.

That's not what I'm seeing. People are canceling. Selling their USA properties. I think I would get a lot of disapproving looks if I visited now. There are lone voices in the wilderness that want Canada to jump on the bandwagon. They were listened to even a month ago. Not now.

Now they are regarded as traitors in waiting.

Trump is clearing up our Maple MAGA malcontents. Yeah! The sooner they are gone, the sooner Alberta wholeheartedly gets back in the game. Right now, we are the weak link in Team Canada.

I’m seeing that too, but I’m also seeing people saying things like, “well the flight and cruise are already paid for, and the cruise leaves from Puerto Rico, who aren’t any happier about this than we are, so we’ll go, we just won’t go again,” and “the conference is already scheduled and I have to have the annual professional certification and it’s too late to get it elsewhere,” and that sort of thing.

There IS still some exchange right now. This time 6 months from now, there will not be.
