Little early to the party here, but I wanted to wish the Canadian side of the Pacific Northwest a very happy Canada Day celebration. I've met so many people from this amazing province, and every conversation I've had with people from Vancouver, Victoria and inland BC have been extremely awesome (outside of Reddit of course). I visited the big Vancouver city in 2018, drove through much of inland BC on a road trip to Edmonton in 2011, and I'm visiting Vancouver Island later in July. I love British Columbia. Especially the people (outside of Reddit) and the nature.
I live in Washington (US state) and I feel sad at the political situation. I am NOT sad that Canadians are boycotting the USA en masse, and we honestly deserve it. I would happily boycott this country if I didn't live here, and I'm honestly surprised that cross border travel from British Columbia is only down 40 percent since I thought it would be much higher. I'm sad that these cultural ties that many US states have with certain Canadian provinces (like the West Coast with BC, New England with Quebec and the Maritimes) have been severely damaged and will be extremely difficult to repair. Anyways, I hate to bring the USA in this, but I definitely don't feel like celebrating 3 days after Canada Day, and I wish all Canadians a very happy Canada Day this year.
