Bingo; you'd be floored at how many think exactly like the insurrectionists/terrorists/rioters/whatever, many I know personally... and my sister-in-law has been going out with a hardcore Trumper since 2014.
He's Canadian, with no ties to the US. And a complete asshole, POS human being.
Well, when tax dollars are put towards proper things and handguns are illegal...
I just think it's less-egregious here; down there, you guys see the effect that these blunders have had, happen almost immediately. Here, unless you are poor/homeless/along those lines, nothing ever changes: barring a debilitating health issue or losing your job, your life doesn't change here, if you're the middle class.
Jim Cornette has had issues coming up for wrestling events, in the past 15-20 years, due to him getting into fights with fans and the like (I don't {or ever have} listen to his podcast, but he's mentioned on there, quite a bit of what's happened).
Ugh, Niagara is nothing but wax museums and over-priced crap. To TRULY enjoy our country, get away from NF. Toronto is only about an hour away from NF (if you drive well) and it really is a nice city (it has its bad areas like anywhere else, but on the whole, it's great; my favourite place on the planet). If you love wilderness, you'd need to get a good hour and a half-2 hours north of Toronto, to see the lovely Canadian Shield lakes, rocks and the like. Going east, you see things very similar to the NE US (like in Maine and upstate NY). If you want mountains, you need to head out west to Alberta and BC, but that can't be done in the same trip, unless you plan on flying or staying for 1 month.
Lots to see and do :)
That is the only well-documented negative stain on our treatment of citizens; the aboriginals are worse than an afterthought, in the majority of rural Canada, sadly.
Some racial issues have come to light in the past year (black and Indian treatment, for starters), but there hasn't been a well-documented, systemic set of issues on that front (or maybe there has, but again; nothing that the general public is aware of).
Is touring the "Canadian Castles" worth the effort ?
I'd imagine they are spread out across the country ?
I hadn't researched it, but thought it looked interesting a few years back.
