Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

Canadians are boycotting U.S. travel in response to Trump’s tariffs and policies. A recent survey found 59% are less likely to visit the U.S. this year, with 36% canceling trips.

Airlines report declining demand, and tourism-dependent regions like Florida and New York’s Thousand Islands are adjusting marketing strategies.

Some Canadians refuse to even transit through the U.S. Businesses in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda are benefiting from the shift.

Critics argue Trump’s policies are harming American tourism and local economies.

I'm one of the 36%. With ICE, the US being more hostile in general, and questionable aviation safety, I've changed my destination from California to Australia.

Gday, and hope you enjoy!
Our beaches are much better anyway :)

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Thank you! 😃 Any beaches you recommend?

I agree with the oyher comment to jusk the locals in whatever city or town you are in and there will be a really nice beach literally everywhere you go.
We are extremely lucky to have beautiful soft white sand beaches, and chances are you will have a large section to yourself as we have a small population which is clustered around capitol cities, the only exception being is that the nice beaches in capitol cities can be popular in summer. Dont even think about places like Bondi, seeing that on TV shows gives me anxiety. There are beaches near me in WA that have sand so fine that it literally queaks as you walk, it can be weirdly satisfying.

Queensland: Gold coast and sunshine coast

NSW: manly (Sydney)

West: Perth

There are probably better ones but I'll have to defer to locals.

I would have done that even if the US wasn't turning to shit.
