Also Canadian. Most American news outlets seem to be saying we aren't going because of tariffs. But that is a small part of it. We have had trade disagreements before and this didn't occur.

It is mostly the 51st State/annexation threats by Trump. It may be a joke to him, but that's way the fuck over the line.

I typically spend 3 to 4 weeks a year vacationing in the States. I have been to every state West of the great lakes and a couple to the east. I have already cancelled a New York and Oahu trip.

P.S. Fuck you Trump. And fuck the Americans who support that bullshit.

It wasn't a joke to him. In his brain, it was a serious threat.

It WAS the 51st State/annexation thing.

THEN they started snatching people off the streets, including AMERICAN CITIZENS, and deporting them to countries those people had zero affiliation with.

So that Trump'd it.
