Visiting there should be above all politics.

Should be, but reality is another matter.

Oh please!

I don't want to drag this thread too far off-topic into the political realm, but really; an absurd concern not based on reality! Don't believe the rumors is my advice and certainly don't use it as an excuse not to go.

Rumours? Your opinion. We’ve had people in our local area given a hard time just going across the border to do some shopping. You also have a President as well as the U.S. Ambassador to Canada mouthing off about our country. So they can go fuck themselves. This is my part of the boycott. I’m not spending my money, nor risking any uncalled for harassment, in a country where the government is hellbent on making it a fascist hellhole. We may have our own issues, but we sure as hell don’t have a masked and unidentified gestapo snatching people off the street arbitrarily and dispatching them who knows where without due process.

If your mainstream media is so cowed that it doesn’t report the news to you thats not my problem, but yours. Countries around the world along with Canada are issuing travel advisories to avoid the U.S. because it’s no longer considered safe.

@Warped9, I understand exactly where you're coming from and I understand your decision. I'd feel the same way in your shoes. The US is a scary place to be right now.

Let's not drift off into politics, please.

A friend of mine had gone to Ticonderoga in 2023 and stopped of at my place on his way home. He really enjoyed his visit. At the time I was watching over my elderly mother and I couldn’t leave her alone for a couple of days—it didn’t feel right. But then she passed away in April of ‘24 and that shot the summer and fall of ‘24 to hell with having to set her affairs and her house in order as well as me finding a new place to live. So I planned for summer of ‘25.

Then November ‘24 and January ‘25 and afterward happens and everything went downhill to shit.

Now I don’t when or if I’ll ever be able to go.
