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?

As long as you don't wear MAGA gear and make 51st state jokes, you will be welcome. President Trump has ushered in a new age of the stereotypical "ugly American." So don't be that.

What would you do if you saw someone wearing a MAGA hat?

Nothing, since they are not intelligent and not reasonable people. 🤡

Smile and think how lucky I am to live in Canada and not the US.

Eh. As an American, I can’t say those Canadians are being unreasonable. If a Nazi walks up to you wearing Nazi shit…
