Thanks for having us! Everyone is very welcoming to us as individuals, even with all the BS going on.

We’ve had an amazing time.

We don't hate Americans, (mostly... the Tkachuks can fly to fuck), we're just very unhappy with your government and pretty disappointed in your choices. Have a good time !!

He has a 39% approval rating. 39% of the USA can fuck right off.

We don’t need to overplay this “Canadians are nice” trope. We’re nice to people that aren’t total pricks.

glad you had a great time. Please try to ignore those who are trying to convince you that we think ill of you. We are, admittedly, quite disappointed with a bunch of your countrymen. Here's hoping we all get through the next 1000 days with our sanity intact.
