It's not a travel boycott, we're avoiding your borders because we don't feel safe. If American citizens can be deported without due process, we have no illusions about being afforded basic decency or process. That's already been shown to be the case.

There are several non intimidated Canadians who don't care about traveling to the states out of protest. It absolutely is also a boycott.
