Another US governor who *refuses* to understand why Canadians won't visit her state.

Have these U.S. officials not been paying attention? We aren’t visiting any time soon.
Forlorn hope
Someone should ask her if she’d vacation in North Korea…
Perfect!
There's empty planes leaving from the UK and Europe every day... Fuck America
Dolts. Read the room.
A "charm offensive" isn't going to work when there's an offensive charmless president telling Canada that it is not a friend of the USA!
FUCK the US and fuck every single person that does not understand this statement. 🖕🏻
It’s gotta hurt for real to ever make an impact on the surreal happenings in the US right now. Sorry not sorry. Canadians will dig in their heels - 4 years is about the right amount of time to boycott America.
Everyone in denial that when Americans try to flee north Canada won’t take us in.
On the contrary, she understands very well and she stood up to trump to his face — and then won in court. But she would be derelict in her duty to her state not to try to help their tourism business No need to demean those on the same side as you
We aren't demeaning Canadians who are on our side of the border. We are and will never be on the US' side.
This governor is against trump — that’s the “side” that many people in the US and Canada are on Don’t know wtf you are trying to say in that last sentence — seems like a complete contradiction
I admire her for standing up to Trump and I appreciate she needs to do all she can to support Maine’s tourism sector. However, telling us everything’s fine when she knows personally that’s not the case is a mite ingenuous. I don’t blame her for trying; I blame her for downplaying a very real risk.
Suggesting Canadians cross the federally controlled border putting them at risk of detainment is not something friends do.
🎯
Completely oblivious- they really gave no clue …
A big no from me for familiar reasons. And Canadian summers are great - not hard to stay here.
Why would ANYONE put themselves through the nightmare lottery that is the US immigration "process". It's hallmarks are aggressive intimidation and accusation by uncivilised oafs.
I think this is part of the bigger problem that Americans don’t seem to understand they put Trump in the White House TWICE. 🤦🏼♀️
Musk did. There was unprecedented interference.
Don't look to Canada to fix or support your systemic issues of racism, violence, exceptionalism, authoritarianism and manifest destiny that resulted in Trump and won't be fixed even when he is gone. #boycottusa #elbowsup #cdnpoli #canada
"Didn't vote for him, not my fault" is tiresome & frankly very Trumpy. Saying they get our "offence" shows they don't understand its depth-a complete betrayal. Instead of asking forgiveness & support, they need to fight for Canada being respected by their own nation, to earn back any for themselves.

can she guarrantee they won't be arrested and detained at the border for not being aligned to Trumism? will she guarrantee US won't invade Canada? Until she can, don't go there!
Simple reason… and it’s a good reason… it’s due to trump the convicted felon and toxic sex pest.
So does everyone, so the airports are going to be eerily quiet from hereon.
Yah, that’s worth it 👏
And so much more!
Trust can disappear in a heartbeat, and take years to rebuild.
Governor Mills is appalled, Senator Collins is concerned, Maine's flag must be a furrowed brow.
#MuricunContempt & #Entitlement
It's absolutely stunning to see how tone deaf these folks are. I find her trivializing beyond condescending and offensive.
It an’t “hurt pride”, Ma’am; it was a blatant attack on our sovereignty by the Oval Office Orange Oaf. And it will certainly take more than a 20% discount and a pat on the head to get us to risk our personal safety to support your economy.
Are they really this clueless? She can’t do anything to prevent Canadians being detained or worse. American exceptionalism is a hell of a drug, it seems to have rotted all their brains
"Maine, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont have seen a drop in Canadian tourism between 20 and 60 per cent compared with last year." All this tells me is there are still between 40 - 80% Canadians still crossing the border that should be staying home and keeping our money in our country. #elbowsup
Another brain-dead American. She can go to hell.
It's the same reason why true United States citizens will not visit deep South States.
These governors come to Canada to get us to solve their problem, instead of heading to Washington or taking to the streets. They absolutely don’t get that it’s their problem, their president, their government, their inaction.
WHY don't they "Get IT"? I'm embarrassed or these People. Their President threatened OUR Sovereignty He's trying to financially CRUSH us! They betrayed our Trust. This B*tch darkens our doorstep, with a charm offensive? Fuck off You Insult us, Maine.
For someone who made a name for herself by standing up to Trump at the White House over the rights of people in her state, Gov. Mills is pretty cavalier about the rights of visitors. "Just give us your money, Canadians."
There's an easy solution for Maine to have as many Canadian visitors as they like... leave the USA and join Canada. It would even help Trump's aim of rationalising the border.
NO THANKS. I used to cross in Fort Fairfield a couple of times a week. One of the first things you see is one of the stupid Don't Tread On Me flags. The area is rife with magats.
Time to re-up @clareblackwood.bsky.social again.
Cause your idiot president pissed us off that’s why.
As is tradition
Dear Canada... Just say NO! America is no longer safe - stay away - stay safe
She should spend that energy, time, and money removing...the root of the problem.
