    I’m sure they’d be happy to let me stay longer as long as I’m rotting in a prison while providing slave labour

    If Ontario residents stay 7 months, they lose their health care.

    “To qualify for Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) coverage, a person must be a resident of Ontario as defined in Regulation 552 of the Health Insurance Act (HIA). Except for those residents identified in section 1.1(1)(a) below, a resident must ordinarily be present in Ontario which means the resident must make his or her permanent and principal home in Ontario and, with some exceptions, be present in Ontario for 153 days in any given 12-month period.”

    Not that this bill would convince me to ever cross the border again

      It’s not safe for brown people, people of colour, Black folks, trans and LGBTQ folks.

    Don’t go. It’s a trap!

    You couldn’t pay me to ever step foot in that country again.

    The issue that is keeping Canadians away is not how long we can stay in the US visa free. It’s the Trump administration and all the Republicans in Congress that haven’t done a single thing to even try to keep Trump in check.

    Any Canadian traveling to the Fourth Reich for anything other than life-saving reasons is a traitor.

    Do they actually think minor inconveniences like visa length are what’s stopping us from visiting? Fuck, that shit hole country really is full of idiots.

      My partner is American (we’re working on that), so I need to cross to visit them. I’m the most “works and office job and doesn’t do much else” looking person you can imagine. I’ve been asked when the last time I was arrested was, how much drugs do I really have in the car when I said none the first time they asked, had them check my trunk and back seats because I handed them my passport funny, and almost been denied entry because I had a dress suit in my back seat.

      I would never risk crossing if I wasn’t a white male at this point.

    Wow, I can stay longer in a fascist shithole ruled by a narcissistic rapist and his Christo-fascist puppet masters? Yeah…no.
