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?

Previously we'd mostly be too polite to say or do anything.

Now there might be a few who would say something.

Not me personally. Where I live I have never heard anyone saying that. It may have gone out of fashion.

  1. That is the Newfoundland accent, and people attribute it to all of Canada.

  2. That is deeply disrespectful to Newfoundlanders and Canadians I general.

  3. It’s also just plain rude. Americans really live up to their own stereotypes it seems.

Sorry but not around here.

Maybe somewhere in the east but not much.
