(13,135 posts)Canada, both from international tourists to domestic tourists who have decided to holiday in their own country this past year. Trump thought our country was going to crumble and while we are having the same problem as US citizens, with high prices, we have added jobs every month and kept our inflation rate in check and so interest rates are much lower than US. We still have some hurdles but have signed up with Europe's SAFE for security and paid $16m to join which gives us access to $150B in military contracts. We will likely turn to Sweden for new military jets and Germany for new Submarines and have already signed with Australia for some of our Arctic defence. After reading the National Security Strategy of the US, we are preparing to train 300,000 citizen soldiers, which is really fucked up but we do not trust the US anymore and with Trump's alignment with Putin, it puts us in danger.
There will always be those Canadians that don't have any principles and travel to the US but Trump is even turning them away. It will be a very very long time, if ever we look at the US as a solid friend, rather just an acquaintance to be leery of, because of the way people vote there.
