That we don't have a travel alert is disgraceful.

It stresses me out that Canadians are still going to the Untied States like everything is normal. In September someone told me they went to Disneyland in the summer and I don't think it had occurred to her that there was any reason why she shouldn't

Well I have heard from several Canadians "You aren't in danger if you are White, everything is normal outside of the protests, so it's fine" and my response is "even more reason not to go, we shouldn't be supporting any of that"

Any Canadian still going to the Fourth Reich (unless it is a life or death situation) is an open supporter of fascism. Every dollar spent there funds and gives moral support to Nazis. Unfortunately too many people have zero social or class consciousness.

It's more normal for some than others.

I'll be honest, I feel this meme better describes neolib politicians here in Europe.

Germany updated their travel advisory recently, because of the storm and the situation in Minneapolis

The blatant disregard or lack of training on the Jay treaty needs to be fixed. These people have the legal right to both travel and work freely. This is something that isn’t even up for debate.

Unfortunately, treaties and the like are only as good as the good faith effort to both enforce them and understand them.

It’s one of many cogs in the machine that are breaking down right now. We have lots of things to address in the current political climate, of course, but this is one more thing that we’re going to need to add to the list of cog mending…

ICE is even killing white American citizens in broad daylight while being recorded. You're right that they should be recognizing treaties, but we should also be recognizing the reality that that's something beyond America's grasp right now, and that no one, but especially "exception" cases who are visibly non-white, should be going to the US for their own safety.
