Meanwhile, here in Canada it's fucking crickets. They briefly had a warning about the protests in LA, but there's no recommendation or warning about visiting the US. They're kidnapping people off the streets, imprisoning them, deporting them to other countries, and Trump has repeatedly mentioned annexing our country and yet our government is saying nothing.
There are like 8000 words on the travel advisory, which states: "take normal security precautions" with a green label seal of approval and cautions with several paragraphs and a bullet point list on ticks and insect bite prevention, weather, and washing your hands. What a lovely country!
Oh, and the risk of peaceful protests turning violent (lol), and risk of terrorism, and a link to an active shooter preparedness guide, 2 fucking sentences about lgbtq being "affected" by laws in some states, and then there's this Nazi papers please warning:
It actually says this on the travel advisory.
(Since fucking when?)
But it's 2 👍 from the gov travel and tourism department.
Meanwhile : EXERCISE A HIGB DEGREE OF CAUTION WHEN YOU GO TO ....Netherlands?! Wtaf?
Take a trip to USA, and have the chance for a free long term bonus trip to Venezuela! 😜
