Canadians are tired of Donald Trump’s America, and they show it by Sell their American property,, on vacation elsewhereand severely punishing Local conservatives of their own country. For a weird reason, Trump decided to fight With our nearest ally – and the consequences are real.
I have often written on Trump’s incredible ability to injure your own supporters With a scalpel type precision, and this kerfuffle with the cannucks is not different. Look at the card at the county of the results of the 2024 presidential election:
Just note how most counties along the north border are red. Very red, in fact. But thanks to Trump’s buffoonery, places like Port Huron, Michigan, are now in difficulty With a loss of patronage from their Canadian neighbors on the other side of the border.
“Like many cities that dot along the border of 5,525 miles (8,891 km), the savings of Port Huron and Sarnia are linked and in some respects dependent on each other,” reports the BBC. “Port Huron is a manufacturing city of less than 30,000 people with a picturesque city center and many retail shops, offering visitors an attractive opportunity for a day trip.”
This “attractive opportunity” disappears. Droit stores on Canadian reports have been down 50 to 80% since Trump returns to the White House.
“” We are 100% dependent on the trip through the border, “explains Barbara Barett, the executive director of the Frontier Duty Free Association, about these stores.” Our stores are often pillars of these communities-communities depend on it “, she told the BBC.
And yet the inhabitants refuse to link the points.
“I hope that the people of Washington will begin to understand what they are doing to people,” the mayor of Port Huron told the BBC. “We are not responsible for it, the [federal] The government has put us in this position and we must now face it respectfully. “”
In fact, Port Huron East responsible. The county of St. Clair voted for Trump 67-32%, for the failed candidate of the GOP Senate Mike Rogers 63-33%and for the republican representative Lisa McClain 67-28%. At the bottom of the bulletin, it is a Republican Bastion. It is not an accidental result – it is the result for which Port Huron voted.

It’s funny like when a democrat is in the White House, these are endless investigations on the “Biden crime family” and the songs of “Let’s Go Brandon”. But when is it Trump? Suddenly, “the government” is a villainless villain. No names, no responsibility. Just vague vibrations.
His name is Donald J. Trump – and the very communities that he now hurts him happy to power. And this is the same story in small towns in all this vast border, whether in Michigan,, Montana,, North Dakota,, Maineor elsewhere.
From now on, republican legislators – desperate to appease their injured American voters – rush to repair things with a dressing that does not even recognize the injury.
“American legislators offer a bill that would allow certain Canadian snowbirds to stay in the United States longer, in the hope of rebuilding cross-border tourism and supporting local economies” reported Canadian Outlet CTV. “The Canadian Snowbird Visa Act proposes to extend the duration of eligible Canadian citizens aged 50 and over could visit the United States without visa at 240 days, against the 182 current days authorized each year.”
Among the coparracates of the legislation are the Republican representatives Elise Stefanik (including the borders of the District of New York Canada), Ken Calvert (whose Californian district includes Palm Springs – a major Canadian tourism destination), and Laurel Lee (whose Tampa district is a major draw for Canadian snow birds).
Stefanik claims that “the supply of Canadians who have houses and goods in the United States with more time to visit and stimulate our economy will help relaunch Canadian tourism.”
As if the problem was that Canadians just wanted to be able to spend more time here. No. The problem is that they don’t want to come here at all. Not to Disney World. Do not desert palm for a little golf. Not even for a short walk on the other side of the border to buy cheap alcohol.
Allowing them to stay here for two additional months is a gesture devoid of meaning that insults Canadians while ignoring the real problem: Trump.
