And not just escape tourism. Business travel too.

I may be just small potatoes, but my refusal to take onsite work in the US since the orange menace took office again has meant that 3 people who used to spend ~40% of their time in US hotels, eating at US restaurants, and paying US transportation costs, are now staying in Canada or picking up the pace with EU clients.

Completely ignoring what your interlocutor said to continue going on about the same shit. Where have I seen that before?

Oh yeah - Most of your comments.

I don't have a theory. I stated a fact about MY downvote. You are just in love with arguing for nothing.

Have a day.

Hmm. No trans folks or drag performers there. Have the rightwing been lying to us?

I didn't theorize anything though. I told you why I, personally, hit that downvote button. And I have definitely been downvoted for being an asshole here. I know I deserve it sometimes.

As for people not wanting to talk about VA. I have no opinion on that. I only have a few friends in VA and none of them are the type to tell me how they feel about a local election.

Nope, not everyone downvoted because of the content. I enjoy down voting people who sound like assholes. And you fit the bill.

I expect people to downvote me when I talk like an asshole too. Which probably happens more often than I'd like to internalize.

If you choose to align yourself that way that is on you. I said 'the majority'.

I downvoted because you are just toeing the usual 'alberta is special and here is why the rest of you have to adapt' bullshit that we have heard a million times. Get over it. We are not all misled into thinking that most of the province is regressive. That is how it is.

The majority of that province is hateful morons being super proud of themselves. I lived there for 20 years, my wife for all of her life. So don't go saying I am just following the herd. The facts are simply that outside of calgary and edmonton the vast majority of albertans are insular xenophobes.

Are you seeing a ton of small towns in any other province where the town meetings are full of assholes bleating about wanting to join the US? Because I can tell you right now the acme, beiseker, trochu, three hills, irricana, and carbon, town meetings are FULL of these fucking people.

Thank you for taking the time to type up both of these.

Yup that's one of the sources for the godawful amount of hair mousse they all use. And accounts for some of the 'eau de halitosis' odour they all have.

My mother who is 65 started getting tattoos when she turned 50 and now has 38 of them I think. Including hands and face.

That woman is a force of nature.
