The USA is quickly becoming a shithole country. "The U.S. passport's power is now at a historic low for the first time in 20 years. The Henley Passport Index just updated its list for October 2025, and the U.S. is nowhere to be found on the top 10." www.thetravel.com/trumps-polic ...

Meanwhile, Canadian travel to the US continues plummeting. In 2024, Canadian tourists vacationing in the US spent $20.5bn. In the first six months of 2025, Canadian travel to the US was down 24% overall. The protracted decline is part of a larger overall drop in international tourists, driving a projected economic loss of up to $29bn compared to what US tourism officials had expected at the beginning of the year. The US Treasury Department reports that the Republican-led government shutdown is costing the US economy $15 billion a week and JP Morgan warned that America is "going broke slowly."

Worst. President. Ever.

For the last 60 years have been wearing Canadian flags when travelling abroad. That says it all.

#4 - Do you think that actually makes you safer, or is it just a political statement?

I would think that wearing any type of flag could attract unwanted attention when traveling abroad, or even domestically.
