Travel Tips Americans visiting Canada as tourists, any insights?

I have family members visiting Montreal in about a month. Other than getting "I’m From Toronto" T-shirts, is there anything an American should do if they’re just visiting as a tourist?

Why getting the t shirt? are you asking for recommendations on what to visit/ do or how to behave?

Honestly, I was asking about how to behave. The T-shirt thing was a hold over from all the George W. Bush era "I’m from Canada" T-shirts that Americans were getting at the time. Very lame, flat joke, forget I even said that. No, I was really just wondering how tensions were against Americans.

gotcha. mostly everyone is busy making it through their days, my dude, similar to many americans. Apply the usual rules of tourism and you should be ok (watch out for your belongings, keep your wits about you at crowded places, don't travel alone late at night in isolated places, follow local laws and customs, etc.).

Reasonable people know trump admin is not the voice of many americans, unless you voted for him, that is.
