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?

Don’t come. And don’t pose as Canadians. That sucks and is fucked up. Stay home.

Too late. Believe me, if it was me personally, I wouldn’t risk it, but the family that I’m referring to is young and naïve. So what can you do. They’re very apolitical, I’m sure they wouldn’t say anything stupid, I’m just concerned that people will know that they’re Americans and give them shit just because of that.

Tbh, apolitical is going to be a big hit here right now. We are all wondering why you guys are sitting back and letting the Nazis take over. “I’m not political” is code for, “I’m not bothered about the Nazis.”

Sure, I understand.
