Quote from: crazy canuck on Today at 08:22:15 AMWhy take the risk?

I was being sarcastic. There is no way I'd risk going there.

Quote from: bogh on Today at 08:28:19 AMThe project manager from one our my suppliers had to go via the US to another country late December because his wife had a medical emergency there.

He was detained and questioned for five hours, missing his connecting flight, had a gun in his face.

No reason given for any of it. He's a moderately affluent mid 50s white guy with a Danish passport. I'd go to pretty great lengths to avoid the US as a destination atm.

They let him get away without signing a pro-US statement about Greenland? Surprised.  :P

Quote from: Tamas on Today at 07:23:27 AMBTW why is Starmer not at Davos?

His main strategy appears to be focused on not offending Trump.

That is likely the only viable play for the UK after Brexit.




Or is it? Canada refused to bend the knee and got off cheap. China showed the finger to Trump initially and after a temper tantrum got off cheap. The UK groveled, and the EU agreed to a lopsided trade deal. We see how well the latter is going.

As long as you are white and can produce a convincing local accent and keep your head down, you shall be fine.

Taking into account the number of bots skewing things there are still a lot of online comments from Canadian conservatives bitching about Carney. A lot complaining that he still hasn't made a deal with trump in regards to trade like it's his fault.

Ford is also complaining about the China trade deal. Which is short sighted on his part but it will impact Ontario's car sector so I guess he feels he has to make some noise.

*edit* And while trump is a shit show slowly but inevitably dragging us towards world conflict at least because of him Mr. P never became PM, so at least theres that plus.

I think all civilized countries have now issued travel advisories for the US.
