Why on earth are Canadians STILL in the States? Get out of there! Like, WTF are you doing? You are in a HOSTILE country, and you will not have a good time there.
Unfortunately some of us have family there, and while it’s easy to think “well fuck it I won’t go visit”, it’s not always so easy. Family gets sick, dies, etc.
I totally get that, but it’s still a massive risk. Going to see your sick family member might mean you’ll be held in a detention center. Is it really worth it?
Would you rather pop die alone in the hospital knowing that you’re in a concentration camp? Come on man, think.
They are treating ordinary Canadian citizens as criminals. It will be a risk. And if you’re willing to take that risk, you have to be willing to take the consequences that are pretty much well known at this point.
I don’t know if you’re being serious or not, but I can’t imagine doing something, knowingly, that would cause emotional distress to a loved one.
You have to consider the effort that someone else in your family will have to go through in order to attempt to get you freed from a country under a hostile dictatorship.
Again, perhaps this is worth the risk. I wouldn’t want any of my family travelling anywhere to see me, if it puts their life or freedom at risk. This isn’t a movie.
Most of the people I know that are still going down there tend to be wealthier. I think it’s something about them thinking the money will protect them?
I have a canadian-salvadoran coworker who just went down there to visit family, like are you fucking insane.
People will go through a lot to be with family, it doesn’t really matter how dangerous crossing the border is if that’s the only way you’ll see them again.

I just met a dude at the winestore who unironically said he was A Floridian-Canadian [paraphrasing]
Of all the states he could’ve chosen…

Yeah I’ll let pop pop die alone in the hospital, you’re right.

Yeah, I know what I’m risking. Go touch grass and learn how to grow some fucking and empathy for people.
