        It's not that we're scared of you, we just don't want to subject some of our kids to the trauma of being turned away.

        Its also bc we don't want our kids treated unfairly at border if they are of colour, born in a different country, immigrant etc.

        Very sad, but, it makes complete sense. Otherwise, the TDSB would be putting kids in harm's way. Born & raised in Toronto. :)

        - It really does scare people. In the past I've enjoyed travelling to the US- not anymore- not while Trump is in power.

        Nice try @ShaunKing their "ban" has nothing to do with their safety once they are in our country. You continue to be part of the problem.

        A d*mn shame, but I get it - they want to protect their kids from upsetting border experiences.

        "Our country " scares its own people. For many, this is the point.

        Also sad are the stories of families escaping from the USA to go to more tolerant, decent and liberal Canada.
