According to Canada, travelling to the US is safe but travelling to China is not (lemmygrad.ml)

Canada also classifies Germany as yellow due to "risk of terrorism."

Edit: so China is yellow due to the "arbitrary enforcement of local laws." Maybe to do with "the two [spy] Michaels"? Obviously with no self reflection because Canadian authorities do what they want and are not held accountable.

Indeed, it's pretty hilarious in light of Canada kidnapping Meng Wanzhou and holding her under house arrest when she broke no laws in Canada. That's what actual arbitrary enforcement of law looks like.

Arbitrary enforcement of laws would be the US, sometimes the law is enforced, sometimes not. Canada did something unlawful, because the US wanted it.

I forgot about this whole angle. They arrested the Huawei exec exclusively at US' command meanwhile the two Michaels (worst tagline ever) were doing actual espionage. One of the two sued the other for involving him in his schemes unwittingly.

They have most (or all?) of Europe yellow for the "risk of terrorism" thing, IIRC.

This should be a valuable resource for Canadians, but it's hard to take any of these advisories seriously at this point.
