Don't tourists know by now that visiting the US in 2025 is like visiting Germany in 1938?

Or come to Canada. We're mostly nice. Ignore those bots in Albertastan

hmm, I was thinking about visiting Calgary this summer. What's up with Alberta?

They're trying very hard to be Texas north. The Premier of the province is ignoring science and, in many cases, logic. Anti-vax. That's one reason they have more measles than the entire USA. There is even a fringe group that wants Alberta to secede from Canada and join the US.

The economy is largely based on oil, so many of them deny climate change.

Ironically, they have some of the most beautiful scenery in the country, if not the world.

Hoping to visit soon this summer! Not too thrilled with the idea of having to come back home, with all this going on.

Assuming you're coming from the US, where are you coming from? Driving or flying? Troy's travel tips and unsolicited advice for free, this evening only!

Hoping to head out to BC and maybe Alberta last, depending on the amount of time I have. I'll be driving, I live in Montana so I'm close.

Aha, "just south of me", I say from a thousand miles away.

If you're a mountains person, yeah BC is the place to be. But it's also same-same as what you can see in a lot of places in the US in the mountains. Like, you won't tell the difference between much of BC and much of Washington.

If you've got the time, go straight north from your location. Way way north. Go to Yellowknife, and do it in March -- it's about three days driving. You'll get there and they'll have northern lights galore, ice castles on the lake, people driving their trucks on the ice to their houseboats that have just frozen into the ice for the season...

Or go in summer and go fishing there. The lake is 600m (1900ft) deep... Trout like tuna.

Unsolicited advice ends ;)

I’d ignore Quebec, anywhere else is beautiful.
