      These Americans do not get it. Yes, a  few Canadians will take the deals, mainly upwardly mobile ones with no sense of National pride, but the vast majority of people I know, that value standing up to a bully, are staying away and have no intention of going back until things change dramatically.

        Voting matters, and they voted in a manaic. He is destroying lives daily. 

    2. There are no innocent bystanders. If they don’t like this, they should have voted better. People need to learn that there are repercussions to their actions.

    3. These articles are always an interesting read. It seems like in basically each article that talks about this issue from the American perspective, it feels designed to garner sympathy. At the same time, it never truly captures the fear, anxiety, and anger Canadians felt and continue to feel.

      Every border crossing issue circulates in our feeds. Every detention of a Canadian by ICE is discussed. Every time the US ambassador says something, we give him the side eye.

      Not that anyone from CNN will read this comment, but if they were, I’d ask them this: What is the purpose of writing this piece? If your target is largely Americans, I don’t think you go far enough to convey how your Canadian neighbors feel.

    4. “It was almost like suddenly the whisky didn’t taste good because of where it’s from.”

      No, the taste is irrelevant. Don’t vote in a lunatic that threatens our sovereignty every chance he gets.
      Talk to almost any Canadian and I’m sure there is an American made drink that they miss, I know I have a few. Innocent bystander or not, you Americans are all in this together.

      >During an Oval Office meeting last week with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Trump joked about a “merger” of the two countries but also praised his counterpart as a “world-class leader.”

      >Quint is hopeful that after years of turbulence, the global trade picture clears up soon.

      >“These tariffs create a level of uncertainty that is paralyzing,” he said. “We just want to know what the rules are. This lengthy period of instability isn’t good for anyone.”

      they still don’t get

      Potus is still joking about subjugating Canada. We didn’t start the trade war.

      This article is playing the “won’t someone think of the businesses” hard.

      Meanwhile, is anyone thinking of the Children?

      America has dropped the mask and revealed what it has become.

      >Canadian visitors vanish: It’s not just that Canadians are refusing or unable to drink American booze due to bans. It’s also that many are deciding not to visit the United States, dealing a blow to countless resorts and travel businesses that once relied on a steady stream of Canadian visitors.

      A lot of Canadians aren’t visiting the US because we don’t want to get disappeared by a fascist state. It is no longer safe.

    6. >We’re just some guys in Virginia making good whisky. But unfortunately, we’re the victims.”

      They are not “some guys” they are Americans and their country decided to harm ours economically. They live in a democracy so they get the government they deserve and pay the price for its actions. I don’t care who they voted for, as Americans they own this, they are not innocent bystanders.

      > “The tough thing for us is, it’s nothing we’ve done.

      Wrong. The collective you voted in Trump and a Republican Congress. Quit trying to ignore your responsibility and start working on the problem and things will improve.

      Eventually.

      The trust Trump and Americans as a whole broke will take a long time to repair after they fix what caused it. I don’t know if I will see it restored and I should have at least 40 more years on this planet.

      > d. “The most important thing the administration can do is send a message to travelers around the world that the US is open to business to legal travelers.”

      It won’t be enough if it’s only a message. The US will need to take concrete action to show that it has gotten sane again and has changed its culture enough to not go insane like this again.

      > The good news is that trade threats between Ottawa and Washington have eased a bit in recent months.

      By a micron.

      Americans still don’t get it. They think that this is something that will blow over once Trump leaves office. They don’t get how much our joking dislike has turned into lasting anger.
