Miami and Ft Lauderdale OTOH are clean, beautifully run cities.
Very little crime, vibrant nightlife, and great golf courses 🏌️‍♂️
Not been to Florida, so I cannot report on that. I can say I have been to Arizona, and I did enjoy it, but that was decades ago and it has probably changed lots since.

I’ve been to the states crossing via land at viagra falls and I did not have a problem. I had more of an issue coming back. These Canadian border agents and their BONJOURS to start off every interaction. 😂

The US has good parks and things like Disney are great for kids, but 99% of everything else is crap. NYC? Sorry, I'll take Toronto or Montreal over it, since both TO and MTL are not as loud, smelly or intense.
Don't forget, both Toronto and Montreal have an abundance of escorts. I would never and have never used an escort in the US.

Trump would only act like a communist dictator if he started sending people straight to prison for criticizing him, like Xi does in China.
A simple question from US customs what you think of Trump doesn't quite qualify.
And if you think I'm exaggerating, read this:


At the end of the day Americans are protected by the first amendment.
I can't recall in history where someone has been imprisoned for criticizing the US president
Talk about being naive. What do you think Trump is doing using the DOJ to persecute his political enemies who have criticized him?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but outside of Nevada, where prostitution laws are lax, couldn't you end up the target of a police sting in the US if you show up to an incall location? Basically, this would be entrapment here.

Yes, they take prostitution seriously. You can get around it if you are on certain verification sites and know how to play the game, but relying on a LEOLIST-type scenario, you will be set up. The other issue is the cost and services. It's nothing like here, and you can pay ridiculous prices and receive only stripper type services. Albeit it, I'm sure for the experienced US pooner's there is probably a work around but as a visitor I wouldn't chance it.

Last time I was in Vegas I was approached by a lady hustling in the casino. A hot-looking young woman who started chatting me up. Then hits me with $800 an hour, no kissing, no daty, covered blowjob. I laughed and said, "Babe, I'm from Toronto."...her reaction, "oh oh, have a nice night" LMAO

You've confirmed something else I've heard but was unsure about: a woman working for an escort service in the US might actually be just that -- an escort, someone who will spend time with you for a set price. But anything else outside of "time", ie, FS, oral, kissing, etc., either isn't offered or it comes with additional costs.

I would never step foot in any of their legal brothels unless I lose my mind and decide I want to be scammed as a thrill. LOL

The U.S. escort scene is safe if you pay market prices and do screening with reviewed providers. No one uses the legal places any longer. It is of course far more expensive in the U.S. than Canada. But services are the same as Canada if you see a $500 - $700 reviewed American escort in a big city.

And Canadian customs is known by American as the most likely to search the belongings of an American traveler. We wipe our internet search histories and transfer porn to the iCloud deleted drive or an external storage device that is left at home, just in case of a search.

That all having been said, threads like this are pathetic.

What the fuck is up with the Canadian obsession with the U.S., and to a lesser extent with Mexico and the Caribbean?

I felt this way long before the U.S. had our own version of Beloved Leader.

The only thing worth seeing in the U.S. are the national parks in the west. But the Canadian west is a fine substitute.

Disney and Orlando, please. I love how Book of Mormon ties in childhood Disney fantasy to organized religion. Teach them all that fantasy make believe in the never-ending Disney films you need to participate in a lot of deprogramming later in life when they hit the real world. Women are the most susceptible and wait for Prince Charming until at least age 26, which I think is the age that psychobabblers now say childhood ends in the United States.

The Canadian obsession with the U.S. is like the high school guy who continues to pine for the cheerleader, even after graduating high school, who

Wasn’t even that hot,
Thought she was too good for him,
Was from a wealthier family than him, and
Never gave him a passing thought other than being courteous when he called.

Canada, particularly the eastern portion, is like what a 7 or 8 hour flight to/from Europe, the best continent in the world for tourism and escorts. It is heaven. I am amazed at how many Canadians lose 30 percent in currency translation, fly or drive a similar length of time to a U.S. city (including layovers), brave difficult airport security (unlike Europe where they say Welcome), eat overpriced fattening greasy food, and are likely to get treated like shit.

Why?

Jesus, I could make a list of awesome tourism things to do in and around Lisbon, Madrid and Barcelona that blows away anything in the U.S. or Canada. The mass transit, including high-speed trains, is convenient so you don’t even need to drive a car. The ladies are high-performing and inexpensive. There is food from all over the world since those countries welcome immigrants from South and Central America. Beaches, hiking, castles (Disney got their castle ideas from Sintra, Portugal). Easy to get cheap flights for day trips to places like Paris, Rome, Athens, etc. Want an Island? The Portuguese Azores are a fine substitute for Hawaii, kidnap-happy Mexico or the shit hole Carribean (the one geographical observation that Beloved Leader got right).

Other could make a list of awesome tourism things to do in Switzerland, Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic. The girls are great in those places, too.

Asia and Australia are obviously further, but Air Canada does a nice job with flights over the larger pond from Vancouver.

Why are you guys giving ten minutes of thought to the U.S.? Cross everything south of Canada off your list and head to Europe. The continent that has it all. And they truly do say Welcome when you arrive and don‘t give a shit what is in your cell phone.

If U.S. Customs and Immigration officials continue to mistreat international tourists, the long-term damage to America’s reputation as a desirable travel destination could be severe. Personnel stationed at entry points are individuals who lack the professional training and education found in traditional law enforcement, instead filling roles that require minimal qualifications, akin to those of a mall security guard. Empowered by Trump, many of these officers appear to misuse their authority, creating an atmosphere of intimidation rather than hospitality. This abuse not only humiliates and discourages visitors but also threatens a vital stream of revenue, as tourists collectively bring billions of dollars into the U.S. economy each year, funds that will be redirected to countries that treat their guests with greater respect.

I have a friend that is a trader like I am, he was planning to go to Vegas for a few days before heading to California, He was carrying his laptop with a second screen to do trading and check up on his portfolio while he was on his trip. The U.S. customs refused him entry because they said he was planning to work while he was in the country.

Device searches are way up, but it's still a relatively small number compared to total border crossings. While I don't think people should EXPECT to have their devices searched, they should definitely at least be prepared for it.

Did they check your nexus card?
Or do you cross frequently and they have your facial biometrics in the system already?

Biometrics Locations: Airports | U.S. Customs and Border Protection


  • Entry: Biometric facial comparison technology used to process travelers entering the United States through airports.
  • Exit: Biometric facial comparison technology used to process travelers exiting the United States through airports.
  • TSA Aviation Security: For eligible Pre-Check and Global Entry members traveling both domestically and internationally, TSA uses TVS galleries to conduct a touch-less and token-less match at the travel document checker (TDC) at TSA security.
  • TSA Bag Drop: For eligible Pre-Check and Global Entry members traveling both domestically and internationally, airlines use TVS galleries, through TSA, to conduct a touch-less and token-less match at the to replace the required identification check at baggage-drop.


There's also a difference if you frequent the States often or if you only visit them once every few years.

update:
Once they have your biometrics, your passport info shows up on their computer screens.
They can also just tap your passport (there's an e-chip in the new Canadian passports) and your profile will show up on the computer screen. Hence no need to flip through the actual passport.

No Nexus card ( transit through customs is quick enough without a Nexus card)

Passport was not “tapped”, they didn’t even ask for my passport

Probably facial biometrics. I’ve crossed approx 15-20 times in the last three years

The ONLY question I was asked on two out of the five crossings this year was “where are you going“? On both occasions after I told them where I was heading their reply was “you’re free to go”. I wasn’t asked how long I would stay, where I would stay or why I had a one way ticket

My experience is it’s actually much easier to cross now than it ever was

Keep in mind when you apply for a NEXUS card that USCBP WILL delve into your life much more than any routine border check, inclusing buying your internet history from data brokers. they will ask you what social media sites you use etc. If your statements don't align with their evidence, you will be denied. And I imagine IF your TERB history is known somehow through the data brokers, you will be barred.

So before you apply for Nexus, maybe consider the implications of a DEEP dive into your background. Deeper than an airport agent would. You'd be surprised on the data governments have available to them through PAYING private data collection services for your profile.
I have a NEXUS card and I don't hide my love of legal adult entertainment. They have records of you from your activities and travel from mobile data not to mention Google who has admitted recording your activity while you were on Incognito. I suggest you don't over think the immigration unless you have a felony conviction (as long as you look WASP).

I used to drive down to Point Roberts on a Monday night after work, a couple of decades ago to get gas, in my van. A Mexican customs official used to refuse me entry. Him. " What's the purpose of your trip?" Me "See that gas station about 20 feet behind you?"
Him. "what's in the van?" Me a few tools and assorted junk". Him. "No tools. Not allowed. Turn around and go back"
So the next time I went down on a Monday night, I emptied the van. Same Mexican guy would still give me a hard time. Eventually I gave up. Felt like Cheech Marin. "Born in East LA.

Hey, I'm not worried about ME. I breeze through Customs everywhere.

Although I do not sign into anything google, I do realize the gov't can buy my data at retail from data brokers.

All I'm saying is that be prepared for the possibility of a deeper dive through Nexus application than a regular customs and immigration encounter.

I find it hilarious that the 3rd largest country in the world can be condensed into "National Parks and Disney World." I'm literally LMAO at this statement. Forget about the 50 individual states, with their individual types of people and foods and climates. All the different types of terrain. All the coasts from the Atlantic, swinging down to the Gulf of Mexico and back up the Pacific. Ignore world cities like NYC or LA, and also all the "smaller" ones like Chicago, Miami, Dallas, New Orleans... hell even Las Vegas (who thought of a city like that???). All the other cities and different cultures. The US borders Mexico and includes the state of California, which by itself, is the 4th largest economy in the WORLD. And yes... insane National Parks and Disney World (which I'm against as well. LOL). Heck... one of the states is out in the middle of the ocean for crying out loud!

I'm not dogging on any country. I love Toronto. I LOVE travelling. Those cities you listed are fantastic... and there are literally THOUSANDS of awesome places to visit around this globe... but the lack of respect of what America offers is pretty incredible to me.
