text: As a family, we make 5 to 8 trips to the USA each year; from day trips shopping to 2 week vacations in sunny destinations. This year we did the sunny trip in March. It was half as long as usual, and we will likely not go back until maybe next March break. 5 days in Total in 2017 compared to the usual 20 to 30 days in the USA. 
  For the record, I love the US, miss it, used to live there, would again under the right circumstances. 
  
  That said, I now view the USA as a semi friendly nation with an unstable government that views Canada as "Taking advantage of the USA" therefore subject to justified retaliation by the US government, citizens, and a radical and unpredictable leader. Add to that, most of them are unabashedly armed.  Not a description of where I want to spend my relaxing vacation $. 
  
  We, quite rightly, have no vote in the US elections. Its their country, they can do what they want.  We can however vote with our $, its our money, and we'll spend it where we want.
