Apparently this happened three weeks ago and the news is just coming out now. Winston Peters as usual has no idea what is happening and is too busy licking Trump's boots to actually say or do anything.

We had actually planned to visit Seattle/British Columbia right before Covid Lockdowns hit, and havent really thought about it since.

To be honest, a lot of my sense of connection with the USA was due to Sports that I follow, and due to constant portrayal from Films/TV Shows. Other than that, don't really have a sense of wanting to visit North America at this point in time.

You might be interested to know that a large portion of american movies and TV use Canadian cities and towns to portray american locales. So you might find yourself right where you wanted to be in Vancouver, Toronto, or Montreal, regarding seeing stuff you have enjoyed in movies :)

Seeing as your from lemmy.ca, I assume you are from Cananda? In that case, if you don't me asking, what would you say are some similarities in Canada, to how the US is portrayed in Hollywood, and differences?

I'll make a proper comment when I have the time. This is a cool question that deserves some thought.
