The number of cross-border travellers going from Canada to the U.S. dropped by nearly 900,000 in March compared to the same month last year, according to the latest U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data — easily one of the worst year-over-year drops recorded outside of the COVID-19 health crisis.

    Sorry, but it’s going to take more than, “please come visit because we like you, really.”

    They don’t like you, they like your money.

      Those of us who really do like you understand why you don’t want to come now. Because even if you are visiting a blue state you still might encounter Trump’s thugs at the border. Or ICE could get shooed away from a LAUSD elementary school and decide to randomly grab you off the street outside. You stay out and stay safe, spend your money locally.
