Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

More Canadians avoid setting foot in the U.S., 'without even a connection or layover' (www.nbcnews.com)

Summary

Canadians are boycotting U.S. travel in response to Trump’s tariffs and policies. A recent survey found 59% are less likely to visit the U.S. this year, with 36% canceling trips.

Airlines report declining demand, and tourism-dependent regions like Florida and New York’s Thousand Islands are adjusting marketing strategies.

Some Canadians refuse to even transit through the U.S. Businesses in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda are benefiting from the shift.

Critics argue Trump’s policies are harming American tourism and local economies.

I think it's oblique to what you said:

I think that it's actually cultural-narcissism based, and I'm saying that as a person who discovered that class-narcissism is a cultural-narcissism, at the end of a 25-day hard-line-fast to crack an obstacle in my unconscious-mind..

Cultural-narcissism seems to be a root-rabies in .. all? .. I think so .. of our cultures.

All the "it isn't G-D that is The Only Savior, it is OUR RELIGION that is The Only Savior" narcissisms are examples of cultural-narcissism..

but the US of A made narcissism into its banner, to some extent..

& I think that that, itself, betrayed your culture, & certainly your people..

Remember what the TV-footage of people in the US was like, after Sept 11, 2001?

All the people wearing "superhero" outfits?

Their unconscious-minds asserting through the outfit they were wearing that reality wasn't allowed to treat them as mere-humans?

Their symbol-outfit, or symbol-culture, was supposed to be sufficient?

They were supposed to be inherently immune?

I think it was one of the most-blatent expressions of unconscious-mind's delusion-about-non-equality in recent history.

& I think that ALL national-narcissisms are doing the same thing, in different ways..

I think cultural-narcissism knifes-in-the-back the country it grows-in, inevitably.

"The world doesn't need us" Hoomin, the world needs good people, no matter what country you're in.

The world doesn't need machiavellian nationalism, not ANYone's, right?

But the world NEEDS good people, now, everywhere.

& we need to not break or give-up, until we win..

no matter how many decades this takes.
