Canada Cutting Flights To US Markets

Canada Freezes US Travel as Air Canada, WestJet, Porter, and Flair Slash Routes to Major Cities Including San Francisco, Miami, New York, and Washington to Tap Growing Demand in Europe.

Just an update on the consequences of Trump’s tariffs and him suggesting that Canada becomes a state.
All of the major airlines in Canada are discontinuing flights to key US destinations as of next week. This is not a temporary situation. Canada says it is permanent. The Canadian government and Canadian people have decided to take their future travel and business to Europe instead of the United States after the way, the President of United States has treated them.

This decision combined with the huge hit the auto industry is taking due to the fact that many irreplaceable auto components come from Canada, will cost our country billions each year in addition to our loss of timber to build with and of course alcohol.

1. I was thinking this way, earlier this week. Dictators hold sway for a period of time.

They seek financial advantage, riches and power for themselves and those important people who surround them.

But long term, economic consequences of the masses of the people weigh in. No dictator is permanent the way democracy, until now, has been permanent. We will suffer financially and politically from all this fallout. But dictators do not win long term.

100k are not going to McDonald's not just the working poor but middle class also.

So I highly doubt a lot of Americans will be taking vacations this year.

live more frugally for awhile. Of course, I have a garden and mucho canned goods and I live high on a mountain.

But I will always stay committed to Democracy and helping others. Give to a smaller, safer family than I used to.

It is worth it to resist and keep working towards a solution.

Stay strong and don't let them become your brain worm, so to speak.
