Interesting experience the last few days. When the subject of summer vacations has come up at work, a few colleagues and directors that I regularly interact with have mentioned to me sentiments to the effect that they will not be visiting the US because for a collection of reasons "it's not a good place to be right now".

Most of us have family on the east and west coasts, and I don't think a single reason stands out, and this is all anecdotal, but... it's the first time in my life that a balance of issues (police violence, gun violence, COVID news, politics, abortion rights ?) seems to have soured a proportion of travelers on the US...

Most of us are new, first, or second generation Canadians of international origins. hmmm...
