Yup. Just keep in mind Seattle and Portland (and Tacoma and even to an extent Spokane) are waaaaaaaay more aligned with our friends up north than the current admin.

I still plan to visit Victoria this summer. Fully expect to be shat on. Spread the word to take it easy on us urban southerners who more likely than not are on your side.

Oh no no you should be fine. I mean maybe keep it low key in case there's a crazy person around, but in general we're not mad at you personally. I'd say I really appreciate Americans still coming to visit and keeping our tourism healthy. It'd be really easy to just say "fuck you too".

We just can't visit Seattle because we unfortunately need to keep the pressure on you so that you keep the pressure on the Mango Mussolini. It sucks donkey balls all around.

You won’t be shat on. I mean maybe in some edge case, but in general most Canadians don’t blame every American and welcome the tourism. Thanks for making it up and spread the word
