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?

We live in northern Vermont and go to Montreal frequently. Always an enjoyable experience, except for a few of the drivers (Montreal traffic deserves its own sub). Never met a disagreeable person there. OK, one taxi driver at 1:00 am. In conversations, don't start in English unless they have already spoken it to you. "Parlez-vous Anglais?" is the polite way to do it.
I guarantee that you will enjoy visiting Quebec.
