Canada
I'm saddened, because it was once a reasonably civilized place to visit. Had some good trips there over the years.
Yes, the Bush administration with it's "weapons of mass destruction" rhetoric was the first warning sign, but the first Trump term and the pandemic woke me up to how seriously messed up some Americans have become.
Canada and are many European countries are pulling back from trade agreements. We've realized that too much dependence on the USA is risky.
I have pretty much stopped buying fresh fruit in winter since it mostly seems to come from the US. I examine product labels carefully and choose local whenever possible.
I really hope they eventually find their way back from this. I have many online acquaintances who are American and fear for their future.
