I actually considered visiting Brazil this year but the connection via Miami made me reconsider.

I instead chose to visit my cousins in Hungary in June/July only to find out I may find myself in the middle of a political protest (again). I have a bad habit of ending up in large scale protests when I visit my cousins and it is growing tiresome.

My cousins have an affinity for Texas Pete's Hot Sauce because of the little cowboy on the bottle. I think it has to do with their love of all things American in that part of the world dating back to the end of the Cold War.

There are several other places to transit. Mexico City is one (I did that on a trip to Colombia a while back, and it wasn't too bad). There are direct flights from Pearson as well.
 
I crossed recently (Canada bound). The US bound traffic was even less than that. We saw two vehicles headed south.

Interesting column in Guardian about how Trump MAY make Europe (and I hope Canada) wake up and realise that the US is not good 'partner' (and never really has been.) https://www.theguardian.com/comment...cle-sams-craziness-its-time-to-turn-to-europe

This too along same lines... https://www.theguardian.com/comment...ge-hurricane-keir-starmer-warn-britain-danger

The Guardian article isn't necessarily wrong in general argument, but it is a bit revisionist about the US saving UK's bacon during the Second World War - given Land-Lease and eventual US entry (albeit late). The UK might have survived thanks to geography and Hitler's own ineptitude, but it almost certainly couldn't have handled that dictator alone.

Trump hasn't ruled out military force to take Greenland. And this guy wants to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine? lol
 
There's already legislation before Congress that would allow Trump to have a third term if passed. Of course, it makes sure to specify that only Trump could serve for a third term, and not Obama, Bush or Clinton (all of whom are younger than Trump).

It would not go anywhere.

The 22nd and 12th amendments prevent it. It would take more than legislation to repeal it.
 
He will by 82 by 2028 if he's even still alive. I doubt it will be the constitution or any other law that stops him, it will be his death or frailty.
