How are American tourists (more specifically northwest US) viewed here in Victoria and Vancouver Island?

Community iconc/victoria@lemmy.ca by

Sorry if I sound like one of those “loudmouthed” Americans here. I’m planning to visit Vancouver Island for my 30th birthday trip this July because I want to visit Canada and help support Canada with my tourist dollars (Elbows Up!) and still support that Pacific Northwest connection. I am purposefully choosing to visit Vancouver Island over anywhere in the States. For me, British Columbia feels almost the same as the US West Coast minus all the anti-intellectual, anti-science and religious fundamentalist people. I might not be able to buy many Canadian-based products here in the States, but traveling to Canada is a fantastic way for me to make a great contribution to the Buy Canadian movement and “help” support our northern neighbors against our horrendous government.

Thank you Boston! Visited for the first time from the Pacific Northwest in February. Fantastic experience even with the weather not being ideal.

I visited your awesome city in February of this year. Despite the Boston stereotypes, I found the people very outgoing and friendly. I’m from Portland where I wanted to explore the NE USA since I love train travel and walkable cities. During my travels in Boston, I carefully chose to stay in an Airbnb room near MIT since hotel prices can be absurdly expensive and I wanted to be ethical. From there, I walked across the Longfellow Bridge to Back Bay and made my way to Beacon Hill where I checked out Quincy Market, Newbury Street and Seaport.
