Boycott US
Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Largely has to do with how expensive it is to fly within Canada. Attempted to book flights from Edmonton -> Toronto recently, $800 round trip for a no frills flight aside from a carry on bag.
Granted this price surge is directly related to Trump, but it's generally more expensive to fly within Canada
Yeah flights are tricky, you have to watch for cheap days now that Swoop is gone. With swoop I had $69 from Westcoast to Toronto, and a $15 return ticket plus the Toronto improvement fee. But now with Westjet the best Ive had is $200 each way
Cheapest I've seen was $250 for round trip to Toronto, that crept to $300, and now prices are absurd.
Wtf... thats like four people to multiple capitals and cities, coasts etc here in the eu.
Yup it's completely fucked. That's what happens when you've got 2 national airlines and effectively zero outside competition
