    Honest question - are Canadians generally fine with normal US citizens with no untoward agenda still coming to visit and shop in Canada? I love partaking in the cuisine, a museum, and a library in a relatively nearby border town. Especially the more ethnically-diverse cuisine, because shitty generic Americana fare gets tiresome. Canadian Tire is fun, too, although I do secretly wonder why it’s not Canadian Tyre. Curious to know if US plates on a car in Canada generate a negative response nowadays.

    Also, I’m sorry about the reality for which I felt the need to ask this question.

      Come spend your money, just don’t act all full of yourself like some Americans do.

      Also, “tyre” is British spelling. We kind of have our own spelling where we generally use British spelling, but not for everything. For example, we don’t spell fetus as “foetus” or estrogen as “oestrogen” either. There’s probably some fancy official name for it.

      Come and spend your money in our economy, sure!

      I doubt you’ll have any trouble unless you have MAGA bullshit on display or are driving a Tesla.

      We were recently in Vancouver, and people were happy to have us! You shouldn’t worry. We did some extra shopping in solidarity and they appreciated our support.

      Most of the people I know are not okay with Americans right now. I’m in Alberta tho.
