A 21-year-old tourist has described the horrendous treatment he allegedly received after being denied entry to the USA due to a meme depicting JD Vance as bald being found on his phone
Don’t tourists know by now that visiting the US in 2025 is like visiting Germany in 1938?
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!
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.
I suggest visiting Lake Okanagan. Take a wine tour. Pick some fruit. Go swimming at Skaha Lake. It’s the most beautiful part of Canada in my books, with Banff a close second.

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.

Unsolicited advice ends ;)
Hey, thanks for that advice! I’ll definitely have to go check those places out! :)
How do we know you aren’t just a sentient mosquito. Isn’t it the national bird of northern Canada?
