Canadian Coming to the US HELP!!!

Hey guys I have heard that any canadians coming to the US will be hastled for gas and such. Seems that even if all of us aren't behind our PM we are still treated at traitors. I will be proudly flying my american flag in the window of my CTD.

Re:Canadian Coming to the US HELP!!!

Haven't heard of any of that going on around here Jamie, but since I always fuel up at the truck stops I doubt I would see any of that anyway. Hope your trip goes well; drive safe.

Re:Canadian Coming to the US HELP!!!

Most of those gas station employees can't speak english yet. Don't you carry a Fish thumper under the seat ?<br>I haven't heard of it actually down here , but suppose there are a few stupids up closer to the border.

Ya we carry a billy club for fish LOL that wouldn't be good. I was thinking of telling them I have some unfinished business with bush at the boarder jokingly and see what happens (Like I would say that!)

Well I know they are turning people away and not giving a reason. I don't blame them one bit. America is at war. But I would suggest no President jokes at all. You would probably get rejected.

Re:Canadian Coming to the US HELP!!!

Just had a few friends come back from a trip down into Montana. They had to turn back because they couldn't find any stations that would sell them fuel. All they got from the attendents was &quot;Your Canadian, no fuel here for you&quot;<br><br>It's a shame that most of us Canucks don't support the pinhead we have for a leader, but because of the few retreads that do, we all pay. <br><br>Godspeed to all my fellow members here that have friends and family in the conflict.<br><br>I'll park the soapbox now.

Re:Canadian Coming to the US HELP!!!

Well, living 20 miles south of the border, I haven't heard of any of the gas station hassles your friends may have experienced. We pump our own fuel so how would an attendant know if you were a Canadian? Most of the stations around here are owned by one member or another of a rather large Lebanese American family anyway. However, I am saddened to report that we had some idiot wandering around our local mall slapping paper on cars with Canadian plates telling them to go home since they didn't support the effort. Needless to say most of us don't agree with this **********, (my own censoring, you put in the appropriate word). I'm just one small voice speaking in the wilderness of idots. Americans, join me in speaking against this b.s. If the idiots are allowed to get away with this sort of thing, it will only get worse.<br><br>~Dave

Like Dave said, most of us don't support or agree with the tribalism displayed by the &quot;Yankee go home&quot; rejects. If you fuel up at the large truck stops where all the big rigs go, I doubt you will have any problems getting fuel.

Re:Canadian Coming to the US HELP!!!

Makes a guy sick, I saw on the news where a lady from Canada had a note on her windshield in Blaine Wa. that said, something like this...Leave our country now.<br><br>As soon as some of the business folks and her friends in WA got wind of this and saw the note on the news, they contacted her to make it right.<br>She stated she did support the USA and did not agree with our puppet ministers choice of not helping.<br>Afterall, why would our PM support the war when he has an appointment at the UN when he retires? :<br><br>I heard on the CB a few times from US truckers stating that they knew that most of the Canadians they talked to favored the coalition and were not impressed with out so called leaders stance.<br><br>Now the average citizen takes the grief once again. <br><br>SMASH<br>

Re:Canadian Coming to the US HELP!!!

Pretty rediculous situation, people turning Canadians away from fuel pumps and sticking &quot;love letters&quot; under windsheild wipers&quot; :<br><br> The good news is that the morons who do such things are not representing the majority of the American People. Come on down Folks , you are welcome here!.

Amen Top.
That's like judging us by the actions and words of the Hollyweird types.
