Maine governor on #PnPCBC whinging that Canadians boycotting American tourism are hurting her state. Just ignoring the problem of border enforcement, even when it's brought up to her. Absolutely clueless.

The problem is trump. Canadians would love to visit but don't want to end up in Alligator Torture Terrorist prison. I love Maine and travelled there lots in the past.

A NB resident told her that because his wife was Venezuelan, they cancelled their Maine trips, because of the disappearing. She said "Oh they're busy at other points of entry, we'll protect your wife" Would YOU take that chance?

And how can the Governor give such assurance? She’s been under direct fire herself from the President and his officials.

More arrogant than clueless. She basically accuses Canadians of not be very good friends when they don't travel to Maine. I don't think this interview is helping her case.

Hey, doesn't she know basically everyone in the world is boycotting tourism to the US? If I ever go back to Canada or Mexico, I'm afraid of even having to land there in an emergency.

She said we (Canadians) are not hurting the administration, we are hurting our friends. So now we (Canadians) are the bad guys and they are the victims. Isn't that called gaslighting?

Not at all. Governor is trying to alleviate suffering in her state. As with all collective punishments, good, innocent people are also hurt. trying to point out that the felon pres does'nt care, does'nt suffer at all, if tourism in Maine is decreasing. Still, I'm in favor, fwiw, of the boycott.

We are also trying to alleviate suffering in our provinces. It's not Canadians job to make🌮care. It is the elected representatives in the states job to make him care. Do not turn it around and try to make us feel guilty. Many on here have experienced that in our lives and we're not having it!

Because Canadians can cross that border without risk of being detained, phones searched, etc....so a governor trying to convince us to cross the federally controlled border w those risks is someone who either doesn't understand what's going on or doesn't care about the risks to their "friends".

No no, I wasn't referring to you.😊 I was referring to the governor. Though I still don't think you're getting the point that she was telling us WE were hurting our friends and should behave differently. She's given up on fighting her government and instead is appealing to our "nice" side.

Don't blame Canadians. It was the US president who said on international media that he wanted to economically subjugate my country. We're just supposed to forget that even while those policies are still in effect? We're not that dumb.
