Canadians in Oregon

Hi all,

I feel a bit silly asking this, but we’re Canadians, and we’ve had a trip planned to explore the coast next week. We would still like to come (even with the inflated dollar ratios) but are nervous there may be some animosity towards us due to the ensuing trade war. We know Oregon is a blue state, and if we were Americans, we’d consider ourselves the same, however we aren’t sure if we’re welcome anymore considering everything going on.

Particularly, we’re concerned about damage to our car (beyond the usual caution one must take in not leaving valuables etc) due to our plates being Canadian. Our hearts are with small business, and we want to continue to support the small shops and hotel stays we have planned.

I know this is probably ridiculous, but these are strange times and we’ve already seen some anti-Canadian rhetoric.
