HEy World! come to canada! we're way more fun and less dangerous.
Requiring temporary visitors to surrender five years of social media to the U.S. sends the message that the American commitment to free speech is pretense. This simply is not the behavior of a country confident in its freedoms.
It's a threat to free speech around the world and must be opposed.

Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan
The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.

When CONservatives suggest that foreign investment in Canada is down and hurting Canada, what they are saying is, they don't believe in Canada to build out our own economy. The CON's would LOVE to sell our businesses off to their beloved US interests and foreign home buyers/speculators. #cdnpoli

All travelers from ESTA countries (yes the ones on visa waiver programs) will have to disclose 5 years of social media + huge amounts of personal data to enter the US now. All US academic associations should now meet outside the US if we want to meet our international colleagues.

"American F-35s could be serviced in Quebec"
"Could be" - as in not likely.
The Gripens will be serviced in Canada, that is already guaranteed.
L3Harris could do it.
And they will be built in Canada for Canada and possibly other customers.

Selling to ICE just does not set well with me knowing what they could be used for. Also, good point that they could be used against Canada in the near future.
We need to make sure they are not used against us.
