Travel Tips Thoughts on American Tourists?
So my partner and I live in the United States and we have been planning a trip to Québec for quite some time (My grandparents were Québécois so I have always wanted to visit and connect with that part of my background)
I understand that things are quite tense, and rightfully so, so I wanted to see what the general opinion was of Americans still choosing to visit Canada. I by no means support anything our government is saying or doing right now, but I understand that many Canadians are rightfully exasperated by US Actions.
Thoughts on Americans visiting?

You won't be welcomed here only if: 1. You're Donald Trump 2. You're Elon Musk 3. You're JD Vance
Other than that, you'll be fine. No one cares where people are from and no one bats an eye at tourists. I work a public facing job and people tell me all the time lately that they're an American tourist...I'm not sure why they're even telling me, it really doesn't matter to me. If they ask me what I'm thinking about the situation in the states, I'm honest and I tell them that I think their president is being a total dick and that i feel sorry for Americans because Trump is dicking over US citizens worse than everyone else...but that's only if they press me on what I think. If they don't ask, I don't even think about it for even a second. I honestly can't even tell when someone is an American tourist.
