As long as youโ€™re male. And white. Iran is still a deeply racist society.

US border is asking questions about your opinion of Trump. No other country does that, even if going out of your way to bad mouth their leadership wonโ€™t be appreciated.

The answer โ€œitโ€™s none of my business, you guys elected him.โ€ resulted in being turned away from the border.

I wonโ€™t set foot on US soil again as long as Trump or any other conservative is running this country.

Itโ€™s not even just about how you get shafted at the border nowadays. I simply donโ€™t want to visit a country that is ruled by misanthropic fascists.

And I think that many people will probably feel the same way.

Yep. For the same reason I wouldnโ€™t visit Russia, Turkey, and the likes.

Russia is full of cool architecture and art.

But fuck the current (last 25 years) regime with a rusty crowbar. Iโ€™m not stepping a single foot in there.

My country is vast. My country is huge. My country is beautiful and welcoming too. My country wonโ€™t jail you because of your thoughts. My country is Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ and we have amazing vacationing spots.

And people should go there ASAP, as pretty soon theyโ€™ll probably have to worry about some Belarus-style shenanigans happening as their flight transits US airspace.

Is the Guardian reputable enough? Because it is true that poverty is a terminal illness, but society is the cause of it!

I think you can actually get sent to jail in Canada for a telling a bad joke, but I could be wrong and thatโ€™s not at all the point. Youโ€™re right, Canadaโ€™s vastness and diversity of the people and places is a true blessing.

Mike Ward, a Quebec comedian, was ordered to pay a fine of $42,000 for jokes about Jeremy Gabriel, a disabled singer, after a human rights tribunal ruling. Ward appealed and eventually won his case in the Supreme Court, which ruled that his jokes did not breach Quebecโ€™s Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms. Despite the financial penalties, Ward was not imprisoned.

Ok, not jail.

Donโ€™t know why but the last few years when someone says they have the best anything I get super sceptical and start disliking this person for no further reason. Nothing personal I guess.

All those ungrateful tourists that canโ€™t stand the idea of getting mistakenly deported into a High Security Salvadoran prison and then being left to rot there because โ€˜yeah, itโ€™s kinda annoying but we canโ€™t get him back, you knowโ€™.

If I were the all-mighty orange dude, I would put a 146% tax on every single tourist that is refusing to come spend their money in the USA! Theyโ€™re nothing but traitors! They should pay! And maybe I would invade their country, to show the world whoโ€™s the boss.
