Let’s Continue Sending A Strong Message To Trump By Taking ‘NO’ Trips To The U.S.A

Make This The Worst Memorial Day Weekend for Canadian Visitors that America Has Ever Had

Let’s Also Encourage The Best And Brightest In the U.S.A. To Move Here

A Brief Commentary by Doug Draper at Niagara At Large

Posted May 23^rd, 2025

This May 24^th to 26^th is Memorial Day Weekend across the border in the U.S.A. and it is usually a weekend when the Peace Bridge and Rainbow Bridge crossings are packed with traffic heading to the Buffalo, Niagara Falls, N.Y. areas and beyond.

This year let’s stand together with growing numbers of our fellow Canadians in keeping those border crossings to the American side void of as much traffic as possible, just as they have been for much of the last four or five months since Trump began threatening our country’s economic welfare and sovereignty.

A sight that would seem unthinkable before Trump took office again this past January. Hardly a single car or truck crossing the border into the United States at the Peace Bridge on a Saturday morning earlier this May, at a time of the week when this bridge crossing usually it would be packed.

This May 23^rd, on a CBC radio program, several Canadians were asked if they have any plans to travel to the United States in the days, weeks or months ahead, and it was heartening to hear them – almost to a person – say absolutely not.

As long as Trump poses a threat to our country, let’s continue to hit his country where it hurts by not going over and spending one single dime there.

If Trump and his MAGA followers don’t want you and your special skills and talents, then we’ should take you.

At the same time, let’s continue to welcome as many Americans into our country as possible and encourage the best and brightest of them in the medical sciences and other fields – many of them being fired from their jobs at top educational, research and other public service institutions – to consider moving here.

If the Trumpies don’t want them, let them come to Canada and help our country grow as a world leader in fields that can build a better future for us all.
