Canadian snowbirds could stay longer in the United States without a visa if a bill recently proposed in the U.S. House of Representatives becomes law. The bipartisan bill put forward by Reps.

    Wow, I can stay longer in a fascist shithole ruled by a narcissistic rapist and his Christo-fascist puppet masters? Yeah…no.

    Do they actually think minor inconveniences like visa length are what’s stopping us from visiting? Fuck, that shit hole country really is full of idiots.

        Lemmy.ca is run on a dedicated server in a datacentre in Vancouver, so this isn’t true (and really wouldn’t be relevant if it were). Think about it.

    Yeah no thanks. Im of Latino, indigenous heritage. The moment i cross, they’ll look in my phone, see the anti trump posts, look at my tattoos and it’s off to a Central American gulag for me, and I’m not even joking

      My partner is American (we’re working on that), so I need to cross to visit them. I’m the most “works and office job and doesn’t do much else” looking person you can imagine. I’ve been asked when the last time I was arrested was, how much drugs do I really have in the car when I said none the first time they asked, had them check my trunk and back seats because I handed them my passport funny, and almost been denied entry because I had a dress suit in my back seat.

      I would never risk crossing if I wasn’t a white male at this point.

    I expect brown Canadians and LGTBQ+ Canadians to still be at risk of some ICE shenanigans, so fuck it anyway.
    May the snowbird tourism industry fucking burn, they might as well spend their money somewhere that isn’t hostile to our sovereignty.

      I would wager any Canadians against nazism to be at risk also, better to avoid the US altogether
