The mayor of a Canadian border city says the prime minister and premiers should speak to communities like his about frustration with the United States that is bubbling up over president-elect Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs and comments about absorbing Canada.
“[The relationship] is deteriorating and people are saying they’re not going to cross the border,” said Mike Bradley, the mayor of Sarnia, Ont., which has a border crossing with Port Huron, Mich.
“I’m hearing it on a constant basis: 'We don’t want to do that anymore because we’re being disrespected.”
It’s not just border cities.
I haven’t visited the US since 2016.
Pretty sure I never will again.
I’ve easily been there a few hundred times (grew up 30 minutes from NF/Buffalo, vacationed in Fla, Ca, New England, Myrtle Beach, NM…numerous NHL cities, oh well…)
My plan to take my kids back down to Disney is on hold until at least 2029 at this point, we’ll re-assess at that point.
Looking at a Europe trip instead this year or next.
Disney in Paris, win win, oui?
I disliked Paris when I was there last, looking at maybe hitting up Tomorrowland in Belgium instead.
Paris has had quite the face lift in the last few years, with massive expansion of parks and cycling infrastructure and heavy restrictions of car traffic. You may be pleasantly surprised.
I was there for the Olympics. A few of my coworkers had been a few years back, hated it, and made absolutely sure I knew how shit of a time I’d have, how there’s no decent food(c’est quoi ce bordel?!) and I’d probably be mugged like the one guy. I had…an absolute blast. Some of the best food I’ve had in ages, we were in Oberkampf in the 11th. No complaints. Well, I could actually complain that we weren’t there long enough.
