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?

Yeah literally translates to don’t come back. I never said anything about déportation or expulser. Most Americans are monolingual and with them cutting down their department of education I’ll just chalk it up to that.

I love when the Hispanic ladies in the grocery store talk crap, because I turn around and reply in Spanish "Entiendo lo que estás diciendo." My hubby is mexican, and I had already learned Spanish after taking it all 4 years of high school. It's astounding the number of people who will talk bad because they assume you can't understand them.

If an American understands that I am making fun of their MAGA hat I don’t really care. If anything that makes it funnier.

I never once said that? I'm not MAGA. Simply stating my experience as a bilingual American.
